America lost the war a long time ago, and is simply fighting to maintain order. Even now, after more than one million Iraqis have died violent deaths as a result of the conflict, you are squabbling over how Obama picks over this? Ridiculous.
Welcome to the debate, Ralph. My advice would be not to get baited into a personal argument.

You are right, in January, 3 of the 18 benchmarks were met. Do you now what the "report card" is now? I haven't seen one in awhile, although I know things have improved in Iraq.
