Comments on: Brookings Benchmarks: An (Incomplete, Kinda-Sorta-Not Really) Explanation http://washingtonindependent.com/2039/brookings-benchmarks-an-incomplete-kinda-sorta-not-really-explanation National News in Context Tue, 10 Nov 2009 07:04:55 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: bjcefola http://washingtonindependent.com/2039/brookings-benchmarks-an-incomplete-kinda-sorta-not-really-explanation/comment-page-1#comment-1839 bjcefola Wed, 31 Dec 1969 19:00:00 +0000 http://www.washingtonindependent.com.php5-9.websitetestlink.com/?p=2039#comment-1839 Does O'Hanlon ever lay out exactly what his 11 benchmarks are? The congressional benchmarks from last year numbered 18, I'd like to know what was dropped. From the above I get - Provincial election law - Long term oil law - Kirkuk(?) - Provincial Powers Act - Federal funding for provincial governments - Amnesty for Baathists - Purging extremists from government - Integrating Sunni militias into federal forces(?) That leaves three unaccounted for. Does O’Hanlon ever lay out exactly what his 11 benchmarks are? The congressional benchmarks from last year numbered 18, I’d like to know what was dropped.
