Self-Defeating Pessimism
WWDS? (What Would Dick Say?)

Based on his recent full-throated counter-attacks against Democrats wanting to get out of Iraq with proposals of timetables and the like, I wonder what Vice President Dick "Dick" Cheney would have to say to this news from Bloomberg:

Iraqi leaders, meeting at a reconciliation conference in Cairo, urged an end to violence in the country and demanded a timetable for the withdrawal of coalition troops from Iraq.

In a final statement, read by Arab League chief Amre Moussa, host of the three-day summit, they called for ``the withdrawal of foreign troops according to a timetable, through putting in place an immediate national program to rebuild the armed forces.'' No date was specified.
