So there isn't one? Even after all the casualties fighting them? Interesting... How about Korea, what's the timetable like there?
neither of the situations, both then and now, are like the situation in iraq.

and in the aftermath of those wars, the american public knew that they were going to be there for some time to come. it didn't help that before stability operations began in iraq, the bush administration had its own timetable...and publicized it heavily as part of the sell.
