Iraq and the US have called for an agreement on a "general time horizon" for the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, the White House has announced.
No, it's not a timetable. It's a
general time horizon.
But wait! That's not all!
"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 US combat forces from Iraq," said White House spokeswoman Dana Perino in a statement.

Aspirational freakin' goals! Oh dude, that's sooooo hot!
I guess that means goals they don't really have to meet, huh? Because they were just, you know, aspirational in the first place.
It can't be better than that.
