there are two different points at issue here ... point #1 is Kerry's near-term, specific date to "test the condition" ... i support his position on this both in his Op Ed and in his resolution ... May 15 is the date on which he wants to examine the status of the Iraqi government ... his findings would trigger point #2 ...
point #2 is the PACE OF WITHDRAWAL - there's pace "A" and pace "B" ... pace "A" would be the pace of withdrawal Kerry recommends if the test in point #1 is NOT met ... pace "B" is the pace of withdrawal if the test in point #1 is met ...
my objection to the language in the resolution focusses on what i'm calling point #2 ... I have no objection to the timeframe Kerry specified for testing his proposed condition ... are you saying that even that is not a firm point in time??
