Baker, Hamilton say events in Iraq bolster their views of their POL-US-BAKER-HAMILTON
Baker, Hamilton say events in Iraq bolster their views of their
recommendations By Ronald Baygents WASHINGTON, June 11 (KUNA) -- Responding to a question from KUNA during an appearance at the National Press Club on Monday, former U.S. Secretary of State James Baker and former Indiana congressman Lee Hamilton said they believe that events in Iraq in the last six months have bolstered their opinions of the recommendations of the bipartisan Iraq Study Group, which they co-chaired.

"The first sentence of our report says the situation in Iraq is grave and disintegrating," Baker, a Texas Republican, said. "It was grave, and it was disintegrating, and we do not know whether the surge is going to work or not." Baker was referring to the U.S. troop surge which President George W. Bush ordered last January, following release of the Iraq Study Group report and its 79 recommendations in December. There was a provision in the Iraq Study Group Report that called for a surge, provided the commander on the ground thought it was the right thing to do, Baker noted.

Hamilton, an Indiana Democrat and former congressman, noted that there were three principal recommendations in the Iraq Study Group report, which was prepared by a 10-member panel appointed by the U.S. Congress in March 2006 to make recommendations on the U.S. course in Iraq.

"First of all, we said that the primary mission of U.S. forces in Iraq should be training Iraqis," Hamilton said. "The administration, I think, is moving in that direction. My own view is that you cannot get out of Iraq without making it the primary mission. It is a very tough thing to do to train the Iraqi soldiers. We have not done it very well over a period of four years. We are getting better at it, but I think it is an essential part of the mission, and it will be increasingly recognized by the President and his administration." The second recommendation was that U.S. assistance to the Iraqi government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki be conditional on his performance, Hamilton noted.

"In the supplemental bill just passed by the (U.S.) Congress, you have what I would call a weak conditionality," he said. "The President signed that bill, so they are clearly moving in the direction of conditional assistance to Iraq, which I think is necessary to put leverage on the Maliki government to act." The third recommendation was the diplomatic offensive, including a U.S. dialogue with Syria and Iran, "and they (Bush administration officials) are moving in that direction," Hamilton said. "So I think they are coming our way.
