Democrats pushed for benchmarks and before they could even be implemented, indignantly professed to the world that the US had failed. From day one, liberals have wanted failure in Iraq. So strong is their hate for Bush, animating eveything they do - hate.
So the administration implemented the benchmarks, and now that Iraq has very nearly satisfied all of them - we hear nothing from the anti-Bush corner. Silent as birdseed.
New Iraq report: 15 of 18 benchmarks satisfactory
[...]
The White House sees the progress in a particularly positive light, declaring in a new assessment to Congress that Iraq's efforts on 15 of 18 benchmarks are "satisfactory"—almost twice of what it determined to be the case a year ago.

It is unfortunate that the left is driven, not by love of the US, but by hate for Bush.
It is blinding.
