A Timetable to Withdraw From Iraq?  Oh My!!!

BAGHDAD (AP) — Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice and Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Thursday the two countries have agreed that timetables should be set for the withdrawal of U.S. troops from the battle-scarred country.

Appearing together at a news conference, Rice and Zebari mutually asserted that a final agreement between Washington and Baghdad on a withdrawal plan and accompanying strategic framework pact is close to fruition — but not there yet.

“We have agreed that some goals, some aspirational timetables for how that might unfold, are well worth having in such an agreement,”

I thought having a timetable would be a means for surrender and that the enemy would just sit and wait for us to leave?  Geez!  I guess that’s no longer the case — must be ELECTION TIME!
