GAO Report : Iraq Misses 11 of 18 Benchmarks


WASHINGTON - Violence in Iraq remains high, fewer Iraqi security forces are capable of acting independently, and the Baghdad legislature has failed to reach major political agreements needed to curb sectarian violence, says a report released Tuesday.
Despite being told by the Chimp and others for ages that "real progress" is being made in Iraqnam, the Government Accountability Office (what an odd office to have in the Bush government!) now tells us that despite the United States pissing away more than 2 billion dollars a week and having killed nearly 4,000 American kids in the process, the Iraqi government that we support and prop up can only meet 39 percent of the benchmarks it was supposed to be evaluated against.

Thirty nine percent. When I was in college and even when I was teaching high school physics and biology, a grade of 39 percent was a failing grade. As in "you don't pass." Although that is synonomous with everything that has ever touched George Bush's fingers - failure - just watch what will happen next.

The lying little creep was in Iraqnam over the weekend starting the lies about how well everything is going in country (funny, he was on one military base for 6 hours but our sooth-sayer "president" could see real progress - get the barf bucket). Next will be an armada of up is down and black is white obfuscations of the horrible failure that Bush has brought on the Middle East and on the world.

Pundits like William Kristol and Thomas Friedman have been saying "give it six more months" for the last 48 months and nothing has changed. Undoubtedly those who stood behind Bush's failed policy the most will be saying "six more months" again. And we will continue to blow $2 billion a week and we will continue to kill American kids and we will continue to be the most loathed nation on earth because of this horses ass and his inability to admit his mistake.

39 percent of the benchmarks we set for Iraq. Thats failure.
