The (Ex) Washington Realist

The leaked GAO report indicates that 3 out of the 15 benchmarks for determining progress in Iraq have been reached. We will fold this into our semi-annual National Interest round-up on U.S. foreign policy that will be held shortly (and which will be taped by C-SPAN for later broadcast).

It fits into the overall theme of today's discussion: why has the U.S. been ineffective in meeting its stated agenda for the greater Middle East.

Will alert readers of TWR to broadcast time.
