War-weary Washington awaits ISG report

Even before the official release of the Iraq Study Group's report, there was plenty of comment and reaction emerging, because big chunks of the document had leaked out to the US media - first ABC, then the Associated Press.

John at Americablog.com wonders why the high-level panel is making suggestions to win when it thinks "we're gonna lose":

"I'm still a bit confused by this entire process we've set up. The patient is dead, so let's call in the best doctors so they can get together and come to a consensus as to how to keep the dead guy alive. (Any of this sounding like Terri Schiavo to anybody else?)"

In a post dripping with sarcasm, Wonkette writes:

"The president has also already announced his intention to ignore the bits of the report he doesn't like, which the Study Group has known would happen since they convened, so it's really a very exciting day here in Washington."
