Frank Gaffney is against us having any particular timetable for troop withdrawal from Iraq.
Indeed, he believes that we need to base our troop reductions on on the situation on the ground. In other words, no timetable for troop withdrawal, or even for troop reduction.
What he ignores are three facts:
(1) Without some timetable, Iraqis will presumably become convinced that we intend to occupy their country forever.
(2) A deadline will give us more urgency in working things out in Iraq.
(3) All work expands to fill the time allowed. (See unnatural law # 54). Give them forever to pacify Iraq, that's how long it will take.
That is all.
