WASHINGTON (AP) - The United States and the Iraqi government are launching a new diplomatic initiative to invite Iran and Syria to a "neighbors meeting" on stabilizing Iraq, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said Tuesday.
As Sid Blumenthal reported at Salon in January, regarding the Baker report on Iraq:
Informed correspondents of the Washington Post and New York Times related in conversation that Bush furiously called the report "a flaming turd," but his colorful remark was not published. Perhaps it was apocryphal. Nonetheless, it conveyed the intensity of his hostile rejection.
So, now, Condi and Bush are backing the Iraqis in meeting with Iran and Syria, in two meetings planned for mid-March and Mid-April.

So, how does eating part of the Baker report 'flaming turd' taste, Pres. Bush and Sec'y Rice?
