NYT: Five assessments of the War

(TM Note: The NYT published five side-by-side assessments, which don't format correctly on blogspot. You'll have to go to the site to see the assessments, here.)

Several report cards, assessing the progress of the war, were issued this summer. A look at how they have assessed the security and political situation in Iraq, as well as statements provided to Congress by Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker.
