Good for the Goose...

Great column by David Broder today on how when it comes to Iraq, Congress has asked the Bush administration to do what it regularly demands of federal agencies: set reasonable performance goals and report on progress toward achieving them. The Defense Department has until July 11 to respond. It'll be very interesting to see what they come up with, and whether Congress demands that the president commit to applying the principles of performance measurement to Iraq on a regular basis.
