WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush gets an early description of a bipartisan panel's
findings on Iraq on Tuesday but the White House said he was not "tensing for a punch"
from a report expected to offer options for a change of course.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said Bush was to have lunch with former Secretary
of State James Baker, who as co-chairman of the Iraq Study Group has spent six months
studying the Iraq war and working out recommendations on what to do.

The 10-member group is to make public its findings on Wednesday but Snow said Baker,
a Republican and long-time Bush family friend, was expected to give a verbal description
of the "direction of the report" during the lunch with the president.

3. Whaaaat?!?!? Baker again???

Remember how the neo-con fascist Republicans went ape-shit over Hillary's involvement with the President Clinton's health care security proposal? "She wasn't elected!" was their mantra. Now we have James Baker, the Bush Family consigliere calling the shots? How soon they forget, or rather how soon they would like to forget!
