In an afternoon release, Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) called the Report "a realistic view of how far the situation has deteriorated." He seemed to agree with three R's in particular:
Rhetoric:
"The report avoids the partisan rhetoric that has characterized too much of this debate and offers a unique chance to forge a bipartisan consensus on how to move forward on Iraq."
Redeployment:
"I agree with the Study Group's call for a signficant redeployment of U.S. forces in Iraq... redeployment is the best way to finally reach a political agreement between the warring factions."
(Calls For A) Regional Summit:
"I am also pleased by their call for a regional summit that would include both Iran and Syrian, an enhanced Iraqi training program, and their proposal to condition further assistance to progress in Iraq."
