Three Years Too Late
"While the Washington press corps chased the nine wise men (and one wise woman) of the Iraq Study Group as they scampered from the White House to Capitol Hill to press conferences to a multitude of talk show appearances in their efforts to pull Dubya's chestnuts from the Iraq fire," writes William Fisher, "some journalists seem to have missed some of its most important findings. One of the more alarming was that, of the 1,000 employees of the massive new US Embassy inside the Green Zone bubble in Baghdad, there are - wait for it - SIX who are fluent in Arabic."
