At an almost insurmountable 25 pages, the report contains 18 precious assessments concerning the Iraqi government’s achievements with regards to the yardsticks of progress that the Bush Administration laid out in January when it announced a completely new strategy and a shift in US policy, lovingly referred to as the “surge.” Critics of the Bush Administration, including congressman Jack Murtha, have labeled the report effectively dead on arrival.
