Emboldening terrorists by not staying the course without dawdling over non-existent benchmarks and timetables.

Tony Snow digs a pit.

Dan Bartlett says no to a timeline but yes to benchmarks and milestones.

Rumsfeld thinks it's nonsense. Who knew?

Bush's stratergery apparently is now to stay the course while talking about extraneous shit like timetables while actually doing absolutely nothing different because by changing course he is admitting he's wrong which is against the will of God because God said stay the course although God's voice sounded suspiciously like Cheney's voice in an empty gift wrapping tube....

No no no -- it's that the timetable can't be a fixed date, but it can be a range of dates. That's a MASSIVE difference, sez Peter Pace, altar boy at the Church of Bush:

Pace does not want the Iraqi government to set a particular date for these benchmarks. “If you say the 13th of a particular month is a date certain, that puts you into a very, very tight window, and it actually gives your enemies the opportunity to focus all their energies on making it so it's not the 13th, it's the 14th or the 17th or whatever it is,” he said. “So having a very precise date, I think, is not useful, either from the standpoint of forcing yourself to do something too soon or from giving your enemies too much information.”

Hmm. So we will have super duper secret timetable that nobody can see! Written in invisible ink! So's nobody can have the information.

Then we will really suprise everybody and just pretend to leave...and sneak attack Iran ... by way of Syria!
