Will Bush listen to reason?

In a word, NO.

Salon.com Will Bush listen to reason?:

Victory in Iraq is out of reach. But at least the recommendations of the bipartisan Baker Commission could help the U.S. find an exit strategy.
By Walter Shapiro
Dec. 07, 2006 The headline could be 'The Wise Men Strike Back' or maybe 'The Wise Men Strike Out.'
Wednesday's press conference unveiling the report of the Baker-Hamilton commission was as close as Washington comes to a Rorschach test. Depending on perspective, this was the moment when the foreign-policy establishment scathingly repudiated George W. Bush's conduct of the war, or proved its own irrelevance by singing a hymn to bipartisanship unlikely to be heeded by anyone in the White House bunker.

A day after Robert Gates -- who left the panel after he was nominated to replace Donald Rumsfeld at the Pentagon -- admitted we were not winning the war, the Iraq Study Group upped the ante by beginning its report with this soon-to-be-famous appraisal, 'The situation in Iraq is grave and deteriorating.' But the 10-member bipartisan committee also went out of its way to congratulate its own even-handed fair-mindedness, even as former Wyoming Republican Sen. Alan Simpson railed against what he called 'the 100-percenters' -- ideological warriors whom he described as people who are 'not seekers, they're seethers.' In an earthy counterpart to the high-minded tenor of the proceedings, Simpson also claimed that these zealots of the left and right 'have gas, ulcers, heart-burn and B.O.'

Bush family consigliere James Baker, who chaired the group along with Democrat Lee Hamilton, artfully tap-danced away from any direct criticism of the president. ........
