It is 160 pages long and no I haven't read it. Allahpundit points to several sources that have presumably digested at least parts of it.
I leave you with this, from the executive summary. We need to solve
the Israel-Palestinian issue. And we also need to engage in dialogue
with Iran, which is committed to the destruction of Israel. Mazel tov.
The United States cannot achieve its goals in the Middle
East unless it deals directly with the Arab-Israeli conflict and
regional instability. There must be a renewed and sustained commitment
by the United States to a comprehensive Arab-Israeli peace on all
fronts: Lebanon, Syria, and President Bush’s June 2002 commitment to a
two-state solution for Israel and Palestine. This commitment must
include direct talks with, by, and between Israel, Lebanon,
Palestinians (those who accept Israel’s right to exist), and Syria.
Just like we should have talked to the Germans and the Japanese right after Pearl Harbor I suppose. I really am wondering how many people in Government or the elite circles that fill the Government intended us to win in the first place.
