Following their presentation to the President, which was met with a decided lack of enthusiasm, they were whisked onto the hallowed halls of Congress with sirens, limousines, ample SUV’s and bodyguards while Congress listened to the summary of the opinions contained in the report, http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/i/msnbc/sections/news/061206_iraq_study_group_report.pdf (thanks Morgana) and so it was on December 6, 2006 at 11:01 AM, they delivered said summary of 169 pages that could have been lifted from newspaper articles over the last eight months. I spite of the fact almost the first words were “dire and deteriorating, it still took them eight months to put this seemingly simple document together and with the administrative help from the US Institute for Peace.

At this point I would like to interject a observation, Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world, drives his own car, lives in the same house he bought 35 years ago, walks around unattended in Omaha, and travels without bodyguards, he doesn’t seem to need the “hokey pokey,” and a man confident of his position in life. Just a side observation on my part.

A tentative question was asked as to their credentials for coming to their conclusions, seems a couple of Congressmen were wondering since they had not one Middle Eastern expert on the panel and only two members had ever been in Iraq and that was in the Green Zone (Chuck Robb did venture out of that highly protected environment, but only for a few minutes) how they drew their conclusions, Mr. Baker met those questions with a wink to his fellow study group members.

With the exception of William J. Perry, born in 1927, everyone on this panel was born between 1930 and 1939 with Pluto in Cancer. In 1927 it was at 13 degrees and in 1939 it was at 29 degrees Cancer. Pluto in Cancer is a group of people who like to remake their home, family, or country, they understand the darker side of human nature, they can easily manipulate others for good or for ill, and their emotional connection to the human being helps them to keep their pulse on what people are looking for, if they put their imprimatur on a document, like it or not it will become the standard the American people look toward. With Pluto bearing down on Capricorn, this is about the last hurrah for this generation to make an impact and have influence but right now they do. Pluto in Cancer trumps any other planet in Cancer, including the Bush Sun and Saturn, the US Venus, Jupiter, Sun and Mercury. The 30’s group will steam roll over any other agenda.

This group of ten bipartisan (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) “wise men” were first assembled on March 15, 2006 in Washington, DC. The “wink and nudge” has to do with the two big “bipartisan” names. For the GOP we have James Baker (whose Law Firm counts Saudi Arabia as a client) and Vernon Jordon the Democrat (whose Law Firm counts the Royals in Saudi Arabia as clients) and it’s the Saudi’s who are controlling the Iraq Study Group and the Iraqi war. They are funding the Sunni insurgents and death squads. Nice.

James Baker has a ton of planets in Taurus and he will not let go of what’s his and Saudi Arabia is his right now as is the health of Opec. George Bush has planets in Cancer as does the United States and we are interested in protecting our home turf, which leads me to December 6th Chart and the massive amount of inconjuncts to Baker, Bush and America’s charts, those inconjuncts will most assuredly manage to confuse everyone involved in this Study, no one will know how to implement the suggestions so another level of confusion and insanity has been added to Iraq. In fact this whole process from beginning to end has been surrounded in confusion and obfuscation. No one in this group has a concept of what they were supposed to do or what they were supposed to accomplish.

Lee Hamilton particularly isn’t too happy with the results or George’s response. They did get “dire and deteriorating” correct and that might have been the most wisdom coming from the Sagittarius stellium of Mars, Jupiter, Sun, Venus and Pluto. While the Venus and Pluto conjunction does inconjunct Bush’s Saturn and Baker’s Venus, while squaring Hamilton’s Venus, it also makes sure the report packs a punch. But what is that punch? They didn’t give any real recommendations for implementation; it was pretty much a report on what was wrong.

There was one suggestion that seems ludicrous on the surface if you are truly interested in the killing of our soldiers to end, and that is to “embed” US forces in Iraqi Army units. Their Army, such as it is, is a rough make up of Shia death squads. That doesn’t seem to be a good idea if your intention is for our soldier’s safety. Greg Palast aptly names the warring factions as the “murderous Shia” (who Iran backs) and in the Saudi’s corner are the “Sunni berserkers,” funded by the Saudi’s. This is the hell hole our soldiers find themselves. Add to that incendiary mix and according to Palast the Saudi’s told Cheney in no uncertain terms that if we pull out American troops they will “crank up more payments to their Sunni warrior brothers in Iraq.” The reason this report is so vague is we aren’t going anywhere and the December 6th Chart shows that clearly and Congress won’t be able to do a thing as they take office on the Capricorn/Cancer Full Moon right on the US Sun signaling a new group is in town and before Bush gets out of office he will have to make “comrades” of them if he wants to survive.

The Dec. chart’s Sun at 14 Sagittarius is in a sextile to the US Saturn (represents the President) and Jim Baker’s Chiron and Lee Hamilton’s Mercury form a yod to that sextile; they have delivered the message to the President that he has created a mess and he had better find a way to play nice with Iran with the hope that a diplomatic solution can be found to call off the Shia death squads. Venus and Pluto of the Dec. chart also trines Saturn in the same chart; this group will be in control of the Presidency and they have high hopes of saving this administration from further humiliation and the country from further destruction. Working together won’t be easy, a constant at odds over the recommendations in the IGS. The King of Jordon might be right, three civil wars in the Middle East by this time next year.

One interesting aspect in the chart of the original meeting of the commission, March 15th, the South Node was conjunct GWB’s Neptune, what he thinks was happening with this group isn’t what was happening. The President was set up on this one and will lead to surrounding him in a box, losing more and more power. I don’t know who came to the White House with the suggestion of an Iraq Study, but whoever it was they were wolves in sheep’s clothing.

You do the hokey pokey and you turn yourself around and that’s what it’s all about.
