Any business would do it. If it's broken, fix it. But just like any administrator, manager or staff member, it's difficult to pinpoint exactly what you're doing to mess everything up.
So it makes sense that House Representative Frank Wolf, R-Va., would come up with the idea to form a 10-member study group, including former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
Along with Wolf, Lee Hamilton, former Democratic congressman from Indiana and co-chair of the 9/11 commission, head the Iraq Study Group.
However, the third co-chair, who is receiving the most attention is Jim Baker, former secretary of state and close friend of former President George H.W. Bush.
Baker visited Baghdad just two weeks ago to evaluate the political and military situations in the name of the Iraq Study Group.
So what's the big deal? It's just a few hotshot politicians who have "evaluated" the situation in Iraq.
But the difference is that Baker was the mastermind behind the first Gulf War Coalition that successfully ousted Saddam Hussein from Kuwait in 1991. Many people are placing their bets on him as the last chance, the final person who might be able to put a Band-Aid on the Iraq situation.
Reason being is that while the Bush administration and Congress mull cloned ideas with different vernacular, Baker has the background, the objectivity and the influence to push a resolution through the fiercely divided political lines.
Despite the good intentions and factors adding to the credibility of the group, it strikingly resembles the 9/11 commission. Everyone remembers it, but can anyone remember what came out of it?
Recommendations from that highly credible bipartisan commission were for the most part ignored, and the Iraq Study Group proposals may possibly fly into the archives just as easily.
A recommendation from the stacked Iraq Study Group could very well be innovative and effective due to the heavier consideration the Bush administration, Congress and the American people will pay to it, but still remains the question of whether anyone will listen.
