Superchunk, we're slowly handing over formerly violent segments of Iraq (Fallujah, for example) to the Iraqi government.
Progress is being made. It's not as if we're just dawdling in the country and hoping for the best. After all, the Iraqis don't exactly want us to stay there forever.
If there's a setback, I don't want to see a mandatory timetable put out there so that we end up leaving the Iraqis with their dick in the wind and Iran knocking on the door. If there is no progress in 2010, it might be a different matter but as it stands now, the country is slowly coming together. I see no need to forcibly enact a date for withdrawal.
