Baker-Hamilton

This is interesting. Apparently, the Baker-Hamilton Commission is proposing that the administration choose between one of two options for forward-looking Iraq policy, either of which would be an improvement over the current situation. One of the members or staffers of the commission, however, doesn't seem to have liked this idea at all so he leaked the plans to Eli Lake who spins the commission's proposals as "rul[ing] out the prospect of victory for America" a framing for them that makes it much more politically difficult for the president to adopt Baker-Hamilton ideas.

just once, i'd like one of these war fans to tell us what "victory" means in this context. they never do, any more than bush ever does....

No doubt the leaker was Cliff May, the unhinged president of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies. A Washington Monthly article awhile back published the names of a bunch of people on the commission. May was one of the only neoconservatives, and I get the sense that they included him and Reuel Marc-Gerecht just to throw a bone to the Cheney wing. That they chose such lightweights of the neocon movement is also noteworthy. You'll notice a lot of neocons whining about this commission. I think they realize that they may have met their match in Baker, and worry that bombing Iran might not be such a certainty.

Haven't other reports said there are four options being considered? What are the other two?

Oh... maybe I should read the next paragraph.

Leaks of any flavor are bound to destroy the "secret plan to win the war" strategy... which I actually thought was pretty clever.

May and Gerecht leaking makes sense. But lets not pretend that a lost war in Iraq is a revelation at this point.
Many in the INR doubted the war could be won at the start—if only because there would be no way to tell friend from foe. That and the fact that the aftermath, even of a win, was so uncertain.

I think Matthew's making assumptions when he says "he leaked". It was probably Sandra Day O'Connor.
