Political Wire: "'With the field of potential Democratic presidential candidates growing, word on Capitol Hill today was that' Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) 'might get in,' the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports. 'Whether that would mean he'd start an exploratory committee, or simply announce his candidacy, or do nothing, is unclear.'"

Juan Cole: "The USG Open Source Center translates and analyzes the pan-Arab media on the Baker-Hamilton report."
Captains Quarters: "The Times of London spells out the consequences of an American withdrawal on the many Iraqis who trusted us to see the mission through to completion. Speaking to several Iraqi Army non-commissioned officers, Ned Parker reports that several of them plan to flee their native land if the Americans pull out."
Don Surber: "How dare we abandon our allies in Iraq?
All I have heard and read all Wednesday with the release of the Iraq Study Group report is how this is a unanimous and bipartisan way out of a war we cannot win. From James Baker and the others who stopped us 15 years ago short of Baghdad comes peace with dishonor. Again."

Environmentalism is getting a boost from clergy around the world. Here's an article about Anglican Bishop James Jones from the Rocky Mountain News. They write, "Christians should consider global warming as great an evil as slavery, says Anglican Bishop James Jones, of Liverpool, England, who is in Colorado at the invitation of St. John's Episcopal Cathedral in Denver. 'We look back and ask, how could people have done that, tolerated slavery? The question is, will they be saying to us in 200 years time, did they know they were ruining the planet?' Jones said in an interview Wednesday. Jones, known as a champion of environmentalism in Britain and as author of Jesus and the Earth, spoke Tuesday night at St. Stephen and Grace Episcopal Church in Colorado Springs and was scheduled to speak Wednesday night at the cathedral. His visits are part of a movement aimed at getting conservative evangelicals passionate about environmental concerns."
