You pesky reporters, bloggers, terrorist sympathizers, naive hippies, and reality-based pre-911 mindsetters should JUST BACK OFF because it is
too difficult to predict when Iraqis will resume control of their country. You're looking for some sort of a guillotine to come falling down if some date isn't met.
Well, JUST BACK OFF! This is really, really hard work. Our military is the finest in the world, and you people oughta be ashamed of yourselves for calling them stupid and for asking us who are in charge to promise you a little
timetable. We'll answer your questions when we're good and ready, so just back off already. This is really, really hard work. If you don't back off, the terrorists win. We're in charge now. You're providing comfort to our Islamo-fascist enemies.
