Iraq Study Group Report

There appears to be no easy solution for President Bush on the Iraq situation, according to a high level study group.

The commission's report, obtained by The Associated Press, warned of a deteriorating situation that could eventually "trigger the collapse of Iraq's government and a humanitarian catastrophe."
The report recommended enhanced diplomacy to stabilize the country and hopefully permit the withdrawal of most combat troops by early 2008. It called for the administration to try to engage Syria and Iran in diplomacy.
Bush has previously said he would not negotiate with either country.

The report will be posted on the Web sites of the U.S. Institute of Peace (click here), and the James Baker Institute (click here).
