In light of the importance of Iraq to United States interests and the future of the region, there is urgent need for a bipartisan, forward-looking assessment of the situation in Iraq.
At the urging of Congress, the United States Institute of Peace is facilitating the bipartisan Iraq Study Group, led by co-chairs James A. Baker, III, former secretary of state and honorary chairman of the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University, and Lee H. Hamilton, former congressman and director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. The Iraq Study Group will conduct a forward-looking, independent assessment of the current and prospective situation on the ground in Iraq, its impact on the surrounding region, and consequences for U.S. interests.
The United States Institute of Peace is facilitating the group with the support of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), the Center for the Study of the Presidency (CSP), and the James A. Baker III Institute for Public Policy at Rice University.

President Bush Meets with Iraq Study Group
President Bush said that "it is vital that we succeed" in Iraq during meetings with the Iraq Study Group at the White House on June 14. "I want to thank a distinguished group of Americans, led by Jim Baker and Lee Hamilton, for your willingness to look at the way forward in Iraq and to provide advice to the administration, to the Congress, and to the American people about the proper strategies and tactics to achieve success," he said.
President Bush also favorably mentioned USIP at a press conference held on June 14. “But I appreciate people's advice, and I appreciate their candor. I am going to meet this afternoon with a group of folks put together by [USIP]. They're going to take a look at Iraq. And the reason I bring that up to you is that it's important for people to share their advice with this administration. It's an important business. And it's not easy. It's a complex task to help a society go from tyranny to freedom.

the real reason Bush started this war
Activism: suggestions sent to me about ways to spread the word:
* A computer tech, whenever he uses a library or public computer, changes the background/desktop to this graph -- see how here (see second-to-last bullet, item 4).
* A college student tells me she pins the chart to her backpack.
* A trucker says he just scrawls the daily total in the road scum on the rear of long-haul trucks.
* Someone wrote that he pastes the chart inside both rear windows of his car so others can read it at the stoplight.
* One writer puts this at the bottom of every email: "US military killed in Iraq = 1,330 - http://www.ac.wwu.edu/~stephan/USfatalities.html".
* An OIF veteran paints the number on his truck with removable paint. He will be returning there next summer and writes "Keep it up!" Think about that.
* Every Saturday demonstrators decorate their flag-drapped fake coffin with numerals, backed with velcro for easy change.
* Taping 3" or 4" reflective mailbox numbers in a vehicle's rear window is highly visible, especially at night, and easy to update.
* A math teacher uses the casualty count in algebra and pre-calculus classes. Search "Iraq" here and here.
* A writer has a 12' sign on the front of her house, on a busy street, that reads "THE COST OF BUSH'S WAR IN IRAQ DEAD / DOLLARS"; she changes the numbers weekly.
* Check out The Downing Street Memo and follow up on the action suggestions.
