Democrats push for Iraq Study Group recommendations
http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2006-12-16-democrats-address_x.htm

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Defense Secretary William Perry, a member of the Iraq Study Group, said Saturday that Iraq could turn into a "quagmire" if the Bush administration fails to change strategy.

Perry, who led the Pentagon under President Clinton, delivered the Democratic Party's weekly radio address.

Referring to the Vietnam War, Perry said: "The term 'quagmire' recalls one of the saddest periods in American history, which we do not want to relive. But I believe that is likely to happen if we 'stay the course' in Iraq."

Perry reiterated the recommendations of last week's report from the Iraq Study Group, a bipartisan commission led by former Secretary of State James A. Baker III and former Rep. Lee Hamilton.

2. fools, all of them, feeding right into Saudi Arabia's hands with James Baker's help
he's their lawyer and surely is the one who put the section in the report that calls for privatization of Iraq's oil for foreign control. Get a clue, Dems.
