How much credibility does a "report" have if it's written by the white house?
This Iraq "report card" was authored by the National Security Council, hardly a disinterested 3rd party.By design, it was a completely split decision that no conclusion could be drawn from, some good & some bad. Knowing the track record of bush this was par, this little cynical jab was classic & predictable.

He isn't fooling anybody, the hole continues to get deeper in spite of his stupid game of Texas Hold'em.

3. Is this a trick question?
White House? Credibility? Is it permissible to use those words in the same sentence?

8. Anything written by the Bush White House should be thrown in the trash
upon receipt.

10. I disagree with your assertion that
"no conclusion could be drawn from" a split report card.

If the NSC grades itself at 50%, its game over. It is very easy to determine what is happening here.
