A "December Surprise" Cut-and-Run?

Writes Holden at First Draft:

According to the right-wing Insight Magazine, Poppy's fixer is working with the Chimp on a plan to cut-n-run from Iraq after the mid-terms.

President Bush has acceded to his father's urging and has made former Secretary of State James Baker a leading adviser on Iraq.

Administration sources said Mr. Baker, head of the congressionally mandated Iraq Study Group, has been discussing with the president recommendations on an exit strategy that could begin after the November elections. They said Mr. Baker's approach to Iraq differs sharply from that of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld.
