WASHINGTON - Congressional auditors have determined that the Iraqi government has failed to meet the vast majority of political and military goals laid out by lawmakers to assess President Bush's Iraq war strategy, The Associated Press has learned.

The Government Accountability Office, or GAO, will report that at least 13 of the 18 benchmarks to measure the surge of U.S. troops to Iraq are unfulfilled ahead of a Sept. 15 deadline for Bush to give a detailed accounting of the situation eight months after he announced the policy, according to three officials familiar with the matter.

You're obviously a pessimist who hates America - otherwise, you'd focus on the 5 benchmarks that ARE fulfilled, solely as a result of the Surge. And 5 out of 5 of those have succeeded. 100% success on those. That's a pretty good result in my book.

The terrorists want us to fail on those other 13. So if you focus on them, you obviously side with the terrorists. Yeah, that's it.

This article will be BURIED and get NO coverage on CNN or FAUXNews. You won't see it in any papers including the LIBERAL fish wrap The Oregonian.

Mr. M gives me the "Big O" every morning in bed before he goes to work. He then takes his Business and Sports to the office. I save "The Edge" for last, all by myself.

TMI, I know...
