2010 - The Year of Getting On With It

The latest Brookings Iraq Index (pdf).

Some of the data, like electricity and satisfaction and so forth, is extremely stale dated.

115,000 boots still on the ground. ~8,500 Iraqis in U.S. custody. Political goals for Iraq government, a little better than half met.

Violence down, but not weapons cache discovery, much, or mass-bombings.

Elections March 7th, 2010, plus or minus several years../snark
