The Bush Administration has long shunned the idea of establishing a timeline for the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, however, they took a step in that direction yesterday.
It has been difficult for Bush to maintain opposition to a timeline, since Iraq's Prime Minister, Nouri al-Maliki called for one a couple of weeks ago.
This represents a compromise, and I might add, a compromise in the right direction. Our government needs to remember that we owe the Iraqi people a lot of things, and one of them, is being polite enough to leave when they ask us to.
