Actually, neither of those goals is amorphorous or immeasurable. I don't think, however, the measurables for those have been published, and most people don't have the knowledge to estimate them for themselves. But just because you can't measure them and haven't heard anyone else do so, doesn't mean it hasn't been done. I'd bet large sums of money it has been done, if only because it's integral to the planning of the training schedules for the Iraqi forces, and that planning has been done.
The real problem is that, once again, the administration's marketing sucks. Sure, there's an overall strategic goal with intermediate milestones, at least some of which are being met...but the administration can't, for a variety of reasons (including but hardly limited to: "they're idiots"), explain them.
