- members:
o led by co-chairs James Baker, a former Secretary of State (and a Republican), and
o Lee Hamiltion, a former U.S. Representative (and a Democrat)
o Furthermore there are 8 another specialists from the 2 parties; (in each case equal number):
o In additon to Baker, the panel´s Republican members were:
 Sandra Day O'Connor, former Supreme Court Justice
 Lawrence Eagleburger, former Secretary of State
 Edwin Meese III, former US Attorney General
 Alan K. Simpson, former U.S. Senator from Wyoming
o In additon to Hamilton, the panel´s Democratic members were:

o International:
 On 11 November 2006, it was announced that UK Prime Minister Tony Blair, who has supported President Bush in the Iraq war, was to give evidence to the ISG. A Downing Street spokesman said that Blair would give his submissions via video link on 14 November. It was believed at the time that the UK Prime Minister would outline his ideas on Iraq in a major foreign policy speech on Monday, 13 November

- results:
o Iraq Study Group Report: published: 6th of Dezember 2006
o It was drawn up after nearly four years of war and the deaths of more than 2,900 American troops and at least 150,000 Iraqis.
o the panel made 79 recommendations for the US Government to follow.
o final report of the ISG: recommendations apply to Bush and the U.S. Congress; possibility: to change the policy in the Iraq;
 but: report is not committing
o Report stated, that US policy was not working and the ability of the United States to decide events was diminishing. Violence was "increasing in scope, complexity and lethality" and there was no "magic solution" or guarantee of success, said the 142-page report. The section with which the White House will have most difficulties is that regarding the need for a regional diplomatic initiative.
o Requests a fundamental radical chance of policy by Bush
 Suggestions/results:

so, hier komm ich jetzt nicht weiter, ich weiß echt nicht mehr was ich da jetzt alles schreiben soll

smart5000 · Anmeldungsdatum: 25.09.2006 Beiträge: 27

zu den ergbnissen hab ich jetzt mal folgende seiten und stichpunkte:
http://www.heute.de/ZDFheute/inhalt/6/0,3672,4087590,00.html
http://www.heute.de/ZDFheute/inhalt/24/0,3672,4086776,00.html

 An "Iraq International Support Group" should be established made up of all countries bordering Iraq and the key regional states and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany, Japan and South Korea. (welche Staaten/Länder sind denn das hier dann letztendlich?)
 As if that were not enough for a White House that has been tepid at best about multi-lateral diplomacy, the group then recommends that the US should "actively engage Iran and Syria in its diplomatic dialogue, without preconditions".
 The group says America's military mission should be changed from one of combat to training Iraqi forces. It recommended up to 20,000 US troops being "embedded" with Iraqi soldiers, a sharp rise from the 4,000 currently serving with Iraqi units, and envisaged American combat troops leaving Iraq within 16 months. Democrats were swift to describe the report as a vindication of their opposition to the war and said they would help Mr Bush to end it.
 The group said its 79 recommendations should be adopted as a whole and were not a shopping list from which the president could choose the most palatable options.
 Mr Bush has commissioned other studies of Iraq policy and has repeatedly sought to portray the Iraq Study Group, established by Congress, as presenting merely one of several sets of options.
 Its assessment is relentlessly negative. "Current US policy is not working," it states. Most Americans are "soured on the war", the cost of which is "not sustainable". US forces are stretched "nearly to the breaking point".
