DEFENSE SECRETARY DON RUMSFELD FAILS TO GIVE WAR PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

Under the provisions of the defense bill, Rumsfeld
was supposed to give performance numbers

WASHINGTON POST -- President Bush is facing an early legal deadline to deliver what he has been most resistant to providing: a set of specific benchmarks for measuring progress toward military and political stability in Iraq.

Two weeks ago, David Broder pointed out that the Bush administration would soon face a congressionally mandated make-or-break moment regarding its Iraq policy: "Under a little-noticed provision of the defense spending bill passed by Congress in May, Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld has until July 11 to send Capitol Hill a 'comprehensive set of performance indicators and measures of stability and security' two years after the fall of Saddam Hussein." The deadline came and went Monday without a peep from DoD.
