Timetables

Our president seems very opposed to timetables. Well, not seems, he is very opposed. Except I came across a couple of quotes. George W. Bush, 4/9/99: “Victory means exit strategy, and it’s important for the president to explain to us what the exit strategy is.” George W. Bush, 6/5/99: “I think it’s also important for the president to lay out a timetable as to how long they will be involved and when they will be withdrawn.” [ed. note: article originally ran in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer on 6/5/99] Any guesses as to what led to his change of opinion?
