The Iraq Study Group
Who is this private, non-governmental commission that will be setting the new US course on Iraq?
Iraq Study Group members:
James A. Baker III (Co-Chair): former Sec. of State, senior partner in the law firm of Baker Botts. He helped arrange the theft of the 2000 presidential election PUTTING GEORGE W. INTO THE WHITE HOUSE. Baker Botts is defending the Saudi gov't (Bush family friends) in the lawsuit brought on behalf of the victims of Sept. 11, 2001. More on Bush /Baker Botts.
From the groups official web-site: "The White House respects the independence of the group." What a joke! HOW CAN ANY GROUP HEADED BY JAMES A. BAKER III, WITH THE PURPOSE OF ADVISING A BUSH BE CONSIDERED INDEPENDENT????? He's so enmeshed with the Bush's that he's known as Bush's consiglieri.
Lee Hamilton (Co-Chair): former congressman, Co-chair of the 9-11 Commission, chairman of the House select committee investigating the Iran-contra affair. Should be referred to as "the commissioner of Cover-up".
Robert Gates: former head of the CIA, nominated to replace war-criminal Donald Rumsfeld as Secretary of Defense (hmmm, interesting...). NOTE: if you go to the "Members" section of the official web-site, Gates ' name is not mentioned, as though he were never a member.
Lawrence S. Eagleburger, former U.S. Secretary of State (replacement for Gates)
Vernon E. Jordan, Jr., Senior Managing Director, Lazard, Freres & Co. LLC
Edwin Meese, III, former U.S. Attorney General
Sandra Day O’Connor, former U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice
Leon E. Panetta, former White House Chief of State
William J. Perry, former U.S. Secretary of Defense
Charles S. Robb, former U.S. Senator
Alan K. Simpson, former U.S. Senator
This group is being presented to us as independent, outside ("bi-partisan") consultants at the request of members of congress to offer "fresh ideas" on how to proceed with Iraq. BUT MAKE NO MISTAKE, they are actually a part of this administration's inner circle who are now taking control of the next pre-planned phase of this war.
