WASHINGTON ,
November 10, -- President Bush and his national
security team will meet Monday with members of a
blue-ribbon commission trying to devise a new course
for the unpopular war in Iraq.
The bipartisan Iraq Study Group, led by former
Secretary of State James A. Baker III and former
Democratic congressman Lee Hamilton of Indiana, is
expected to report its recommendations before the
end of the year.
Members of the group will have a joint conference at
the White House with Bush, Vice President Dick
Cheney and National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley.
The group will have individual meetings with
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, outgoing
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, National
Intelligence Director John Negroponte, and CIA
Director Michael Hayden. They also will talk with
Zalmay Khalizad, the U.S. ambassador in Baghdad.
Robert Gates, picked by Bush to succeed Rumsfeld,
has been a member of the Iraq Study Group. |
