Reexamining Baker-Hamilton


By: JP Schnapper-Casteras

An interesting trio of articles about the Iraq Study Group:

  • Senators Alexander and Salazar are leading the effort to reexamine Baker-Hamilton’s recommendations. Leader Reid criticized the proposal, but Mr. Hamilton himself praised the legislation, noting that “The [ISG] report is not out of date.”
  • Gen. Hayden told the group in November 2006 that “the inability of the [Iraqi] government to govern seems irreversible.”
  • The White House has blocked attempts to reconvene the group to make a second assessment.

Also, Baker and Hamilton recently spoke at the National Press Club on June 11th.
