UPDATED: What does this mean?: "Aspirational Timetables"

Re: What does this mean?: "Time Horizon" for Iraq withdrawal

"Time horizon" and "aspirational goals" means, "yeah, I guess we'll get out of there sometime in the next decade."

W is just running out the clock. this is his version of the 4 corners offense - just whittle away the days and pass the problem off to the next sucker.

Check his professional history .. at least he's consistent.

 

Re: What does this mean?: "Time Horizon" for Iraq withdrawal

It means once again, the GOP show their branding mastery. It's not a definitive timeline. Just like it's not more troops, it's a surge.

partial-birth abortion, tax and spend, liberal.

The GOP suck at governing but they (Rove being their God) know how to spin and frame aguments.

Their policies border on criminal but I respect their grasp on what the American people will buy.

Democrats rely tooooooooo much on Facts and reality.


Also, notice this change was released via press release while W was traveling ... on a Friday afternoon. Good news is saved for Mondays .... so?

 

Re: What does this mean?: "Aspirational Timetables"

Now they're "aspirational timetables". Does that mean we're "aspirationally" surrendering to terrorists? I'm so confused.

Rice says U.S., Iraq agree to troop withdrawal timetable

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," Rice told reporters after meeting with Iraqi officials, including Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki. The two sides had come together on a draft agreement earlier this week and Rice made an unannounced visit to Baghdad to press officials there to complete the accord.

. . .A key part of the U.S.-Iraqi draft agreement envisions the withdrawal of American forces from Iraq's cities by next June 30.

 

Fucking cowardly cut-and-runners.

 

It means we'll be there for the duration under one candidate, or there until the other candidate can figure how to extract us while saving face.

To translate into English, "Don't believe a cocksucking word Condi Rice says."

 

An aspirational timetable is a timetable with asthma having breathing problems.

 

I predicted this to a coworker the other day. Bush is going to declare victory and tell us when the troops will start coming home around before he leaves office.

BTW, bye-bye McCain talking point.

 

You think they want us to leave?
