Well, at least one wise man has taken up the call! Matt Yglesias is taking the Sunni pulse and feels a troop draw-down and time table for withdrawal is the only way to go. He's wrong, of course. I'll have the gory details soon (no time tonight).

Why this obsession with timetables? Yglesias is such a square.
Yglesias doesn't believe the Bush administration has any intentions of ever leaving. Me, I think they can't wait to leave, which is one reason for the low troop levels and why they're defining success downward.
Yglesias thinks, with fairly good reason, that there are plans to build permanent bases. I suppose that's included under having no intentions of leaving, but it isn't exactly the same.
