This is hilarious:

America’s top military and civilian officials in Iraq said today that the Baghdad government has agreed to a timetable for a series of milestones to be pursued in the coming year, including cracking down on Shiite militias, completing a “national compact” between competing political groups, persuading Sunni insurgents to lay down their arms and settling contentious issues like the division of oil revenues. . . . “Iraqi officials have agreed to a timeline for making these difficult decisions,” Ambassador Khalilzad said.

But but but our enemies, they now know to lie low until we leave and we can't have a set timeline and . . .

Worst Administration in history.

    This is Baker and the ISG moving chess pieces in the shadows? Notice how we hear not even a squeak out of Cheney lately. And Rumsfeld might be dusting and wrapping his wall plaques and pictures and desk toys for packing.

    Round one of the 15 round Baker/Cheney fight?

    Well, for all we know, Mr. Cheney may have died weeks ago and is lying somewhere rotting. It's not like anyone would miss him.

    Sounds as if Mr. Bush is taking a page from Ronnie Raygun's book - "How to run away from Lebanon without appearing to be running away from Lebanon after you've told everyone you will never run away from Lebanon."

    He'll rev up the Ministry of Propaganda and tell the world America won the war on Iraq - "See, that's why we're bringing our troops home. I'm The Decider and I decided to bring 'em home. You got a problem with that?"

    Giving Baghdad Bob a run for his money, Tony Snowjob will confidently state, "Listen, we kicked some serious ass over there and won a decisive victory. What's that, Helen? You don't believe it? Well, you're a traitor, so just chill."

    John, I think Cheney has always been dead. But it's never stopped him before. :<

    This is just Bush trying to persuade the clueless  that success in Iraq is just around the corner.

    ...reaffirming that Iraq is a sovereign country and that it is not for the U.S. or any other country to try and determine Iraq's future or give "timetables or benchmarks" ultimatums to the Iraqi government.

    I guess he didn't get the memo that an Iraqi democracy is now secondary to trying to get us the heck outa there without it being TOO OBVIOUS that a third-world nation governed by a tinhorn dictator has kicked sand into our faces and shown the world that America is now nothing more than a paper tiger.

    bush has made the world incalculably more dangerous than ever while simultaneously breaking our military and bankrupting the country. After all, if we can't win in Afghanistan and Iraq, what would more sophisticated countries, better armed and trained and with hundreds of thousands or a million or more soldiers going to do to us if we are taken into another reckless war of aggression by bush and his republican guard?

    bush's sole claim to fame, legacy speaking, is that he will be the first American president to lose two wars simultaneously, or the first to lose THREE if he is stupid enough to attack Iran.

    Nice job, Mr Boooosh.
