Slate.com has an interesting overview of the Administration's Iraq Progress Report that was just turned over to Congress. Of the 18 benchmarks that are mandated in the review, the Administration maintains that eight of the goals are being met satisfactorily, 8 are not being met (unsatisfactory), and 2 are identified as "mixed." However, by any stretch of the imagination, when one actually looks at the benchmarks and then at the reality of each situation, none of the benchmarks are being met in any way that could be described as satisfactory. It is clear that Bush is gaming the system.
