Is it only me?

The media have been trumpeting the fact that the Senate has passed a bill requiring a quarterly report from the administration on the status of things in Iraq. Yet, I've seen nothing on what this report should cover. I find that strange. My experience says that this report will cover whatever the administration wants it to cover. As to whether it will, in Drucker's words, have "specific, measurable goals" is another matter.

And, of course, the House still has to pass this. What are the odds of that happening?

You have to wonder whether this is all posturing for 2006.
