Bush Follows Obama - Again

First William Burns, now this euphemism for a timetable:

In the area of security cooperation, the President and the Prime Minister agreed that improving conditions should allow for the agreements now under negotiation to include a general time horizon for meeting aspirational goals -- such as the resumption of Iraqi security control in their cities and provinces and the further reduction of U.S. combat forces from Iraq. The President and Prime Minister agreed that the goals would be based on continued improving conditions on the ground and not an arbitrary date for withdrawal.

A prediction: the McCain and Obama positions on Iraq will be as minimal as McCain can make them by November.
