Not to mention the new Iraqi constitution.  As the NY Times says in today's editorial:

Most chilling of all are the prospects for Iraqi women. As things now stand, their rights are about to be set back by nearly 50 years because of new family law provisions inserted into a draft of the constitution at the behest of the ruling Shiite religious parties. These would make Koranic law, called Shariah, the supreme authority on marriage, divorce and inheritance issues. Even secular women from Shiite families would be stripped of their right to choose their own husbands, inherit property on the same basis as men and seek court protection if their husbands tire of them and decide to declare them divorced.

Less severe laws would be imposed on Sunni women, but only because the draft constitution also embraces the divisive idea of having separate systems of family law in the same country. That is not only offensive, but also impractical in a country where Sunnis and Shiites have been marrying each other for generations.

Unless these draft provisions are radically revised, crucial personal freedoms that survived Saddam Hussein's tyranny are about to be lost under a democratic government sponsored and protected by the United States. Is this the kind of freedom President Bush claims is on the march in the Middle East? Is this the example America hopes Iraq will set for other states in the region? Is this the result that American soldiers, men and women, are sacrificing their lives for?

Then there's the lovely bit where it says in the constitution that citizens of any country in the world can become Iraqi citizens.  EXCEPT ISRAEL.  Wasn't a pro-Israel regime a prewar aim as well?

Due to the Administration's incompetence, NONE of the prewar aims has been met.

The Dems should just cream over this guy...congratulate Bush on his excellent choice, praise the work he's done, and then watch as the Whackos on the Right start to have aneurysms because if the Liberals love him so much, he must be a terrible candidate.  Billmon is one of my heros.
