==Findings from the Report==
===Failed Bush's War PoliciesHave Failed===
President [[George W. Bush]]'s "war policies have failed in almost every regard" and the Study Group "warned of dwindling chances to change course before crisis turns to chaos," Anne Gearan [http://www.abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=2705949 wrote] December 7, 2006, for the Associated Press.
===Violence in Iraq is Underreported===
The [[Bush administration]] "routinely has underreported the level of violence in Iraq in order to disguise its policy failings," Jonathan S. Landay [http://www.realcities.com/mld/krwashington/news/columnists/jonathan_s_landay/16179553.htm?source=rss&channel=krwashington_jonathan_s_landay reported] December 7, 2006, for McClatchy Newspapers. "The bipartisan group called on the [[Pentagon]] and the director of the U.S. [[intelligence community]] to immediately institute a new reporting system that provides 'a more accurate picture of events on the ground'."
 
===U.S. Should Privatize Iraqi Oil Industry===
The United States should "assist in privatizing Iraq's national [[oil industry]], opening Iraq to private foreign oil and energy companies, providing direct technical assistance for the 'drafting' of a new national oil law for Iraq, and assuring that all of Iraq's oil revenues accrue to the central government," Antonia Juhasz [http://www.alternet.org/story/45190 reported] December 7, 2006, in ''AlterNet''.
