Privitization of Iraq's Oil Key Component of the Iraq Study Group

     Whenever the American government does something that seriously upsets its people, you end up seeing committees of politicians getting together to "solve" the problem and give Americans the impression that their government can be held accountable, that fundamental change can occur.

It's important to actually look at what these commissions recommend, rather than simply react with blind support to an hollow statment of "the war isn't working".
