Subject to Change

From the ISG report, page 60:

RECOMMENDATION 19: The President and the leadership of his national security team should remain in close and frequent contact with the Iraqi leadership. These contacts must convey a clear message: there must be action by the Iraqi government to make substantial progress toward the achievement of milestones. In public diplomacy, the President should convey as much detail as possible about the substance of these exchanges in order to keep the American people, the Iraqi people, and the countries in the region well informed.

It sounds like President Bush forgot the birthday of someone in the Iraq Study Group. Let’s hope that the White House Christmas card list is up-to-date.
