Measuring success in Iraq: a proposal

President Surprises U.S. Troops in Iraq

Wednesday, April 8, 2009
President Barack Obama made a surprise trip to Iraq yesterday, meeting with troops at the end of his eight-day visit to Europe and Turkey.
[emphasis added]

My proposal for measuring progress in Iraq?
When a U.S. President doesn't have to make a surprise visit to the country, then we'll know things are approaching stability.
When a U.S. President can announce his visit weeks in advance and publish his itinerary - then we'll know Iraq is becoming something like a normal country!
