War Timetable

Some folks are callig for a timetable for the Iraq War..This is not a game folks, or maybe we should demand that the insurgents set rules like time outs, change sides, postponements, penalties for illegal combat, Etc..Maybe this way we can say the war will be over at such and such a time...Then we can all go home have a barbecue and feel real good about the whole thing..The rules of war however, are not compatible with gamesmanship. The enemy has not agreed to the rules that some folks want to set....Indeed, they would like to see a timetable so they could really coordinate their attacks in the most effective manner and conserve their manpower for the best effective operations..How naive can some people be that are calling for such nonsense..
