What should the benchmarks for success in Iraq be?
Donnie2020 asked:
I don’t like the fact that troops are in Iraq but I recognise we can’t cut and run now the choice has been made.

The problem I have is there is no way to know what success in Iraq looks like. It has never been quantified.
Benchmarks would mean we would know what to look out for.
It would mean that the Iraq War is not open ended and has specific goals.
It would also mean that they would have to focus their efforts on meeting the benchmarks they have made public or they would face criticism.
Until benchmarks are created many more troops will die in this endless war.
Benchmarking will save lives and it needs to happen.
The goals will eventually be reached and the public will see an end in sight for this disaster.
More importantly Iraq may have a chance of peace one day.
What do you think?
