  “This is a bipartisan study and report of the iraqi issue.It was done after a series of interviews with prominent individuals like colin powell, jala talabani, nouri kama al maliki- iraqi PM , George casey and other Americans. essentially the findings came up with proposals on security improvements in iraq, strengthening of the government of Al maliki and maintianing stability.The sad thing about the iraq report is that very little has been done about the proposals made.want to read it i havit”

  “The Iraq Study Group report is brief but full of information. The problem I had with the report is that it was far too basic. If you read blogs or watch serious political news shows, the information contained in the Iraq Study Group report will seem boring. There was not any information that I read in the report that I did not already know or that was not easily available, and the summaries I had read online before receiving the book from Amazon covered all of the relevant information. I am keeping this review brief because the book was not worth that much of my time. If you are reading this blog or any political blog you probably know more than the information that is available in the report. That being said, it is a good source to gather figures and statistics from and it summarizes complicated ideas into the lexicon that most Americans can understand. There are some ideas suggested that have merit, but you can find the ideas in the Iraq Study Group report and political theories that contradict them online. If you know little about the situation in the Middle East it is worth reading but to rely on it as an exclusive source of information and opinion would be a mistake. The report is available online as a PDF courtesy of the United States Institute of Peace.”
