Baker to dismayed Dems re: the Surge: "Give It a Chance"
I have to admit, criticizing James Baker and the Iraq Study Group findings is not the most comfortable thing I have ever done, because I liked the man long before he was Reagan's Secretary of State. But the fact is that Baker made the mistake of trying to be reasonable with unreasonable people--namely Lee Hamilton and the Democrats on the Panel. The lesson here is: you don't get into a mud pit with a pig because you both get dirty and the pig likes it.
This is why it was very gratifying to hear today Baker tell off those Senators who are wanting to send mixed signals by confirming the Generals while attempting to generate "no confidence" votes or talk about "benchmarks" (be sure and page down for the wonderful graphics and video...). Baker's words: 'Give It a Chance'.
