Bush's Cold Reaction to the Iraq Study Group

Conventional wisdom said the Iraq Study Group was going to provide, in the end, simple political cover for President Bush to change his policy in Iraq. The thinking was that this eminent, bipartisan gathering of gray hairs would give a realistic summary of the facts on the ground and spell out a reasonable way forward which could not be ignored by the president. Calling it an "intervention" might be a little harsh but not too far off.

Now people are wondering if the intervention has failed.
