"We are there at the invitation of the Iraqi government. This is a sovereign nation. Twelve million people went to the polls to approve a constitution. It's their government's choice,’’ the president said during a Rose Garden news conference. "If they were to say leave, we would leave." -G.W Bush.

Well, Mr. President?

There's a pretty big difference between calling for negotiations on a timetable and being asked to leave outright.

There's also a pretty big difference between calling for negotions for a timetable and "We will not set a time table". Which brings us right back to the same point.

Real funny, except you fail to distinguish who is doing the talking. I have bolded the key word for you. If the Iraqis set a timetable then we will honor it, but we are not going to be the ones to unilaterally set it. See the difference?

a time table for a war that is fought generally by guerrilla warfare will not work...anything can happen in a war...**** happens, thats just war- a black hawk down quote, but it does prove a point...when the three major groups in Iraq finally start getting along and not blowing each other to ****, then we'll leave.
