Mr. 9% says no timeline but Iraqi lawmakers want one.

“At a news conference after the meetings, Mr. Cheney acknowledged that the Iraqis had given him no specific time commitments for legislative action on issues the Americans have identified as crucial.”

UPDATE: From last night’s CBS Evening News: “The word ‘time’ came up a lot during his meetings with Iraqi political leaders, as in time is running out, time to act on volatile, unsettled issues like real reconciliation, disarming militias, sharing oil revenue and Cheney warned Iraqi lawmakers this is no time to take a two month summer vacation, still a possibility.”

And the co-President has spoken. But there is a twist:

“A majority of Iraqi lawmakers have endorsed a bill calling for a timetable for the withdrawal of foreign troops and demanding a freeze on the number of foreign troops already in the country, lawmakers said Thursday.”
