08/30/07 GAO Reports On Iraq Goals

[admin]

The Government Accountability Office has found that the Iraqi government has failed to meet a majority of political and military goals laid out by lawmakers to assess President Bush's Iraq war strategy. According to the GAO, at least 13 of the 18 benchmarks to measure success remain unfulfilled before a Sept. 15 deadline for the president to give a detailed accounting of the Iraq situation. The GAO is to give a classified briefing to lawmakers today. It is not yet clear when its unclassified report will be released.
