Metric Agonistes
Thursday, August 06, 2009 at 6:06 pm
The New York Times has a big, excellent piece about the Obama administration’s inability or unwillingness to produce its long-promised metrics for measuring success in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I’ve been covering that for months, as you can read here, and it remains almost surreal that there aren’t any metrics announced five months after President Obama unveiled his Afghanistan-Pakistan strategy. The lack of metrics indicates confusion over how to understand measuring success, let alone actually measuring it. And that’s a clear indication of strategic drift.

Agreed, and I told you so.
But five months? He released his plan in a speech on March 29. I'd count that as four.
