It's important to be taken as a whole...' He then he went on to explain why you have to do this in conjunction with that, or it just doesn't work. This impressed me that they're serious about things over there and trying to make a real difference. It's also encouraging for me to hear your evaluation of the report. Maybe there's some hope something positive can be done. Sean;

I think both parties would like to have this off the table before the presidential election, because by then it will be an anchor around both parties' necks. There may well be surprising bipartisan agreement to bury the mess so that both parties will be able to say "we brought the troops home." Agreed.
