The Brookings Institute is a think tank that serves the interests of liberal Democrats. The Brookings Institute created the “Iraq Index” mainly to provide political ammunition for the MSM’s campaign against the Iraq war (refer to the link below and download the PDF file):

However the Brookings Institue has maintained the Iraq Index for too long since it no longer serves its intended political purpose. If one examines the Iraq Index now, it becomes clear that we’ve achieved a clear victory in Iraq. McCain needs to use the Iraq Index as a tool against the liberal Democrats.
