| Is it time for a change in Iraq policy? Can anyone actually see Bush going to Iran and Syria and asking for help in quelling the violence? Would it be too much of a climb down for Bush to have to go to a country he's labelled as part of the "Axis of Evil"? Doesn't seem conceivable to me.

Top US inquiry to call for Iraq policy change

US policy in Iraq is not working and George Bush should consider radical changes, according to a top-level panel backed by the president.
With the White House coming under increasing pressure over the carnage in Iraq, the recommendations from the bipartisan 10-member panel, led by former secretary of state James Baker, could provide political cover for Mr Bush, should he decide to change course.
Two options under consideration would involve withdrawing American troops in phases, and bringing Iraq's neighbours, Iran and Syria, into a joint effort to stop the fighting, the Los Angeles Times reported today.
