New Iraq report: 15 of 18 benchmarks satisfactory


WASHINGTON (AP) - No matter who is elected president in November, his foreign policy team will have to deal with one of the most frustrating realities in Iraq: the slow pace with which the government in Baghdad operates.
Iraq's political and military success is considered vital to U.S. interests, whether troops stay or go. And while the Iraqi government has made measurable progress in recent months, the pace at which it's done so has been achingly slow.

The White House sees the progress in a particularly positive light, declaring in a new assessment to Congress that Iraq's efforts on 15 of 18 benchmarks are "satisfactory"—almost twice of what it determined to be the case a year ago. The May 2008 report card, obtained by the Associated Press, determines that only two of the benchmarks—enacting and implementing laws to disarm militias and distribute oil revenues—are unsatisfactory.

Wait...are you saying that Iraq is going well?!

That can't be! People with BDS need to have a justification for their irrational hatred.

cue the cricket sound effect while the liberals quickly struggle to think of something to say-

now cue the out of left field, unrelated, criticism designed to distract from the progress... something like "Yeah, well what about the price of fuel?" or a "But we still haven't caught Bin Laden." Or something to that effect.

Not at all. Iraq has clearly improved now that Rumsfeld and the other YES men are out of the way.

Rumsfeld has been gone since '04.

Translation: "[Fill in the blank] in spite of Bush!"

In other words: It's still all Bush's fault!
