The surge working...2008 implications?

[Gabu]

There were eighteen benchmarks set to determine success, and the White House said to allow until September to see how things are going.  Now it's September, and a report from the GAO has shown that three of the eighteen have been met, and none of the most important ones have been met.

But then again, Bush has always been the master of painfully low expectations, so I have no doubt that result will be trumpeted as a resounding success.

Notice how you guys are trying so hard to be negative...to look at the bad...you guys literally want failure, don't you?

Pointing at a report from the GAO is trying hard?

I'd hate to know what you think is easy.  The people trying hard are those looking at a lack of success in fifteen out of eighteen benchmarks and attempting to find success.

I like how Naso never actually answered the question about the GAO report on benchmarks.

Naso has directly said that he consciously never responds to any arguments he finds inconvenient.
