Don't call it a plain ol' timeline! Cuz it's not! Even though it is! Not. Even though al-Maliki says it is. He's wrong. It's aspirational.
So we can change the date anytime we choose. So we can stay there for 100 years. 10,000 years. Something to kinda sorta aspire to when we want to kinda thing. Because leaving is defeat! And staying forever is victory! Aspirational.
Who did they lock in a cupboard until he came up with that term, anyway?

Yep... no doubt about it: it's something to expire to. Oh, wait...
Interesting to see that respire, aspire, inspire, expire, etc. all have to do with breathing.
And aspirational also means: b. the act of inhaling fluid or a foreign body into the bronchi and lungs, often after vomiting.
Might be the closest thing to the meaning the Bush adminstration was thinking of...
