The group, headed by former Secretary of State James Baker, is likely to advocate troop withdrawals, and might even suggest inviting Iran and Syria to assist in Iraq's security.

TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARMr Baker’s commission, which is due to report in the next few months, is set to recommend significant change, and will advise against “staying the course”.
The bipartisan task force, which was asked by the US Congress to examine the effectiveness of American policy in Iraq, has reportedly been looking at two options, both of which would amount to a reversal of the Bush administration’s stance.
One is the phased withdrawal of US troops, the other is to invite Syria and Iran to come into Iraq to help stop the fighting.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide. When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
