THIS website is a private SUPPORT SITE for 4th ID veterans, active duty soldiers, family members, friends and everyone who supports our troops no matter how you feel about our leaders. Troublemakers, gossips. trolls, liars, etc are NOT welcome here. Posts that defame,, humiliate and/or intimidate other posters or the webmaster will be deleted without notice or comment. Please read the rules on the Main Page, thank you!
This forum has a long history, by interent standards anyway-unfortunately it has been abandoned for far too long due to real life circumstances knocking the heck out of what had been my very real desire to keep this board alive and well forever so that all of us could meet here and communicate with each other everyday.

I'm not sure that a forum like this is even needed nowadays since the advent of facebook, etc...but I hope that this once thriving BB does bring some of us back together again and that maybe some new folks will join us as well!

GAO REPORT SAYS BUSH ADMINISTRATION OVERSTATES PROGRESS IN IRAQ

IRAQ -- GAO REPORT SAYS BUSH ADMINISTRATION OVERSTATES PROGRESS IN IRAQ: A report released yesterday by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) criticized the Bush administration's lack of planning for post-surge Iraq, and said that "several crucial measures the Bush administration uses to demonstrate economic, political and security progress are either incorrect or far more mixed than the administration has acknowledged." While the GAO agreed with the administration's assessment that violence has decreased in recent months, it notes that "many other goals Bush outlined a year and a half ago in the 'New Way Forward' strategy remain unmet." The report pointed to laws passed by the Iraqi parliament that have not been implemented and oil and electricity production in Iraq that has not met U.S. targets. The GAO also said that "the American plan for a stable Iraq lacks a strategic framework that meshes with the administration's goals, is falling out of touch with the realities on the ground and contains serious flaws in its operational guidelines." The Pentagon, State Department, and Treasury Department all objected to the report.
