As you'll recall, we wrote earlier about how the Republican leader of the US House has now established a timetable for victory in Iraq. He said this morning on FOX News that Bush has until the fall to show progress, and if he hasn't then Republicans will start to walk. That's a timetable. Cong. Rahm Emanuel (D-IL) responds:

Emanuel Statement in Response to New Boehner Timetable for Iraq

This morning in an appearance on Fox News Sunday, Congressman John Boehner announced his plan for a new timetable for Iraq, saying that support for the war from Congressional Republicans will waver if President Bush's escalation policy has not succeeded by the fall.

Statement of House Democratic Caucus Chair Rahm Emanuel in response to Congressman John Boehner's newly announced timetable on Iraq and President Bush's escalation of troops into Iraq:

"It's clear Congressman Boehner's new timetable for Iraq has less to do with the troops coming home, and has everything to do with his fear that House Republicans will be sent home."
