The Iraq Study Group report included many other notable facts and recommendations: The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad has only six fluent Arabic speakers out of a staff of 1,000, and the overall cost of the war could top $1 trillion. The panel also found the U.S. government has significantly underreported the level of violence in Iraq. In one case, U.S. officials reported 93 cases of violence for one day in July when in fact there were more than 1,000.
