The Iraq Study Group Report

I have not read the full "Iraq Study Group Report," but from reports in the media the outlines of the proposed policy changes to get the US out of Iraq are clear. In order to do so the US needs the help of Iran and Syria. Of course, in the context of Iraq, Iran and Syria are in fact the erstwhile enemy, they are the ones bankrolling and organizing the main opposition to the US in Iraq and trying to bring down the so-called democratic government of Iraq.
It is the height of political naievete to believe that those who have been fighting the US will in fact help it out (this is not just my view see the attached Editorial from today's Jerusalem Post). This is a new example of sentiment-based US foreign policy, starting from Pres. Woodrow Wilson, that simply does not face reality. Of course, Iran and Syria want the US out of Iraq, although they don't want it to leave an Iraqi state that would be pro-Western and that could threaten them. So they will help the US leave and then carve Iraq up. But, they will demand a price for helping the US. Part of that price has been offered by former Secty. Baker, Israel will give Syria the Golan Heights. This is the "game" played by a long line of American Protestant leaders, from William Rogers (and his plan) to Jimmy Carter (who has written a ridiculous book) and back to James Baker (who wants another Madrid conference). Their main idea seems to be that throwing Israeli bones to the Arab dogs will somehow buy them some concessions. Although in reality there is no connection of the Iraq situation to the Israel-Palestine conflict, its in their collective imagination.
Another part of the price, already signalled by new Secty. of Defense Gates, is that Iran's nuclear policy will be tolerated by the US, given that Iran feels itself threatened, surrounded by other countries with nuclear weapons, including Russia, Pakistan, Israel and of course the US itself. If ever there was a self-defeating policy that must be it! The idea that because the US has nuclear weapons Iran should be allowed to get them too is ridiculous, whatever happened to non-proliferation? It seems the more the merrier, as long as it gets the US out of Iraq!
So the US is in the process of adopting a policy of appeasement to its enemies in the Middle East, and in the process will do anyhting to disentagle itself from Iraq, including selling Israel out.
Although there are many protestations that this is not the case, today for example from Edward Djerejian, former assistant to Baker, they don't ring true. For example, in the Report at every point where it says that they will effectively "force" Israel to negotiate with the Palestinians, it says "those that recognize Israel's right to exist," but who are these Palestinians, they don't really exist!. Nevertheless, such niceties will not dissuade these sincere idiots from pursuing their self-righteous aims. They care more for "peace" as a perfect Christian concept than they care for the survival of the Jewish State of Israel.
