It turns out this President is a lot more adroit with the English language than we thought. A timetable, as it turns out, was a "prescription for surrender." A time horizon, on the other hand, is something we can live with, particularly when a Democratic candidate seems to be gaining traction with a public tired of the war.
Not that it matters that much what he says anymore.

I really like this one, clever use of imagery. It isn't an obvious metaphor to use. Nice.

Gotta love Bush-isms. Too bad he can slink out of office to a life of privilege while the things he set in motion will continue to impact the rest of us for decades to come.

A time line is tangible, the
Horizon is unreachable...it's
there but you're not....and never will be.
