turbo, perhaps time lines in Iraq will encourage the new government to hasten the process. It's kind of like welfare. You don't give an end time, nobody has anything to work towards. I feel that we can achieve both stability in Iraq, and a time frame for when that will happen. I don't believe we can have one without the other.

they will not call them time lines ...they will call them mile stones...Bush has rejected time lines.
Certain established goals have to met as we withdraw troops this is Bush's' position...Democrats think that time lines would hasten this process better... I agree with the Democrats

I hope not. Time lines are not part of the path to victory or success. They are, in fact, the decision to fail.
Anything related to a retreat or a withdrawal short of complete Iraqi self-sufficiency and ability to contain terrorists and insurgents can only be seen as a victory for the insurgent / terrorists.
Which in turn, like all the other failures and failures to responds, will increase the recruitment of terrorists and increase the peril in the world.
Why is it so hard to understand that embracing failure in Iraq will lead to increased terrorism worldwide? And time-lines are symptoms of a decision to fail.

I see where you're coming from, but it is hard to separate timelines to push Iraq from the same timeline being regarded by the Iranians, the Sunnis, etc from being a patent action of failure on our part.
I could be wrong, but despite how we see it, it would be propagandized as a huge success for the terrorists, leading to increased recruiting and actions by the terrorists.

I think we will. Bush is already beginning the spin and he'll make the withdrawal sound like a good idea soon. It started when he finally admitted that it was too much like Vietnam - something the rest of the world knew for the last year. Stand by.

They will tell us that the policy is working and the next 3-6 months are critical. That is what they've been saying for a couple of years now, and change isn't something these folks do well.

Yes because the Republicans are afraid of losing. Bush knows he faces possible impeachment, and Iraq is not ready to stand on its own.

No doubt by whatever name the use there will be new guidelines put into place. Repub. will claim that there was planning to do so all along and Demos. will claim it's a election ploy. And mud slinging will continue on and on and on..
