We DO need a TIMETABLE for withdrawl from Iraq!!!

Please everyone, stop worrying that establishing a timetable for withdrawl from Iraq will give any advantage to the terrorists.

We simply cannot leave in the middle of the night without anyone noticing. Therefore the notion that establishing a timetable will tell the terrorists know when its safe to come out and do what hey do, is nonsense. They are not in hiding today just waiting for us to leave.

What we need to do is establish a deadline for withdrawl and therefore force the Iraq government to start taking care of their country. Our initial mission, to make sure that there were no WMD in Iraq that could fall into the hands of terrorists, has been accomplished. We will never fix the secterian issues, since any solution proposed by us will be rejected because it is from us. Foolish consistency IS the hob goblin of small minds. We have never deviated from the original strategy of using force to solve a perceived problem. That strategy will never work. Throwing more troops and money at the current problem will not work.

Leaving is the only solution. Leaving on a timetable is the only way to actually make that happen.
