I think it is unrealistic to be asking for a timetable at the moment. One has to remember we had a timetable earlier. The Iraqi army was supposed to have been in command this spring. It didn't happen. The insurgency is too strong. The situation is far from contained, until that happens plans are very unrealistic.
On another note. If Bush orders a troop pull out before the job is done then he is branded as a failure and the Dems win the next election. If he sets a time table for post 2008 then the Dem candidate will be able to use "bring the troops home" as leverage to win the next election.
