9/4 Do you think one of the 7 out of 11 Iraq war surge benchmarks
they met is 'end all violence' or 'restore 100 percent power' ?
\_ it make sense. afterall, we demand PLO to "end all violence"
and insist that since there are still attacks in Israel,
PLO most of sanctioned it. According to that logic, we sanctioned
all these violence in Iraq too. :)
\_ "The Iraqi government is "dysfunctional" and has met only three
of the 18 benchmarks laid out by Congress for gauging its efforts
on political reconciliation, according to a new independent report
on Iraq by the Government Accountability Office." How do you get
7 out of 11 from that?
\_ Bush-math: count the 4 that have been partially met, even if
only 1% of criteria have been met. Kind of like how calling cards
count minutes used.
\_ even then it's 7 out of 18. -tom

politics, trying to scare you with phony numbers." -GWB
\_ Does anyone even know what those benchmarks are and if they are
meaningful anymore given the current situation? |
