According to the AP, the Iraqi government is getting a "failing grade", having failed to meet 13 of 18 benchmarks provided by
US lawmakers.
Here's an article courtesy of CNN. (Don't tell anyone though, because the report isn't public yet, by the way.)
13 of 18 failed means 5 of 18 achieved, which is about a 28% success rate. Is that anything like an approval rating? Because
the latest Pew and Gallup polls put the old Job Rating of our own Congress between 18-21% approval. That's a good 7-10% lead for the Iraqis. Maybe a few of our senators and representatives could take a field trip to Baghdad and get some advice on effective governing.
