Countdown to Electiony: 79 Days
On March 15, 2006, the United States government put together a bipartisan political super think tank called the Iraq Study Group. They consisted of such heavy hitters as former Secretary of State James Baker, former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, former Attorney General Edwin Meese III and some old guy who I've never heard of. Impressive!
The group was tasked with studying the situation in Iraq (which is probably where the name came from) and coming up with a bunch of really smart recommendations for the White House.
The following December, they released the Iraq Study Group Report (I have no idea where that name came from), which was 160 pages long and contained 79 recommendations. Among them: Get the fuck out of Iraq!
As we all know, George Bush took their advice to heart and began phasing troops out of the country, so that the Iraqi people can stand on their own in peace and democracy as they do today, our economy has never been better, the world loves us, and every single America was issued a pony for their troubles.
And that's why Congress has decided to repeal the 22nd Amendment and give Bush another eight years to keep our country on top.
The End.
Go back to Day 80.
