Regardless of your views of the ISG report, it's going to work to our

advantage. The MSM is spinning this as a total repudiation of Bushco, from what I've seen today. There is no way the administration, despite Tony Snow's attempts to the contrary, will be able to unspin it. Bush has to either put up or shut up about his "bipartisanship" idea after this. He also either has to do something with these recommendation or risk losing and alienating even more Repukes by continuing with his "stay the course" policy.

And while we don't necessarily like what the report came out with, we have to remember that the average American sitting out there is listening to CNN or MSNBC, or CBS or reading their local paper and taking their opinions from the first 3 minutes or 3 paragraphs. They will get the message from the reporting that Bushco and his Iraq/Middle East policy is a failure. There hasn't been anything to the contrary out there.

And the right wing radio talk shows are totally against this report. They're in an uproar.

Bring me some popcorn and let's watch the implosion.

2. Just the immediate spin. Let's see it once Dems take over

The whole ISG/Baker/Poppy - our saviors - nauseates me already. All they say is that we stay put in Iraq until 2008. I can't accept that.
