Securing Stabilizing and Rebuilding Afghanistan and Iraq

Here in one easy-reference volume are two important reports from the United States Government Accountability Office on the progress in the Global War on Terror. In the May 2007 report Securing Stabilizing and Reconstructing Afghanistan the GAO looks at where improvements can be made in such areas as emergency food assistance drug control security and reconstitution of the local police and examines the obstacles to continued development of the country. In the September 2007 report Securing Stabilizing and Rebuilding Iraq the GAO concludes that the Iraqi government had not met most legislative security and economic benchmarks. This comprehensive assessment of the situation in that battered nation explores everything from Constitutional and electoral reform to amnesty legislation and militia disarmament to sectarian violence and minority party rights. Direct from an objective federal source here is the sobering full story on the U.S. involvement in the region free of the spin of the evening news. The GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY OFFICE was established in 1921 as the audit evaluation and investigative arm of the United States Congress.
