Fred Kaplan doesn't think much of the report of the Iraq Study Group.

I don't know if it's a workable plan for Iraq but after watching some of the news channels today, I get the feeling that's not the point. The idea is to minimize embarrassment for all the folks who got us into the mess in Iraq. If that means keeping U.S. troops there longer and getting more killed, or making the death toll for the Iraqi people get even worse…well, that's too bad. But we have reputations to protect.
