James Baker III is a realist, all right.

He just told reporters the Iraq Study Group thing is done, and said if Baghdad can get down to the murder rate of D.C., mission accomplished! Says the Bush Family's loyal Mr. Wolfe:

"Is there crime in DC? Yes. Is the police force capable of controlling that crime to a degree at which the government can function? Yes."

Beautiful. Also, the group just announced the "Cut and Run" report will be released on December 6 and not on Pearl Harbor Day after all.
