The Washington Independent: Brookings Benchmarks: An (Incomplete, Kinda-Sorta-Not Really) Explanation

  • bjcefola · 1 year ago
    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.
