The co-chairs of the Iraq Study Group are defending their recommendations, even as President Bush signals that he will probably not follow their advice (The Washington Times - Baker, Hamilton press diplomacy with Iran, Syria):
The co-chairmen of the Iraq Study Group, James A. Baker III and Lee H. Hamilton, yesterday defended their policy recommendations, including a call for diplomacy with Iran and Syria, even as President Bush appeared to reject significant proposals in their report. "We're not arguing that we give up anything, or concessions, but they're big players," Mr. Baker said of Iran during an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press." "Let's bring them into the action. How do you solve problems with people unless you talk to them?"
