A Bit Of A Double Standard?

OK, let me see if I got this straight -- it is treason for the Democrats to propose a timetable for withdrawal from the Iraq Debacle because it would embolden the enemy, but it is OK for the Republicans to say shit like this:

House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), who has taken a hard line in Bush's favor, said Sunday, "By the time we get to September, October, members are going to want to know how well this is working, and if it isn't, what's Plan B."
If I were one of the Evildoers, I would read what Boehner had to say, and then just keep the attacks coming full throttle until September comes around -- you know, kind of like what they are doing right now. It just seems to me that the GOP has imposed a timetable of its own with regard to Iraq, yet they're not being called traitors.

Of course, the entire city of Baghdad could be reduced to rubble by September, but BushCo and its congressional apologists will find some little thing to hold up as a success ("Look! The sewer system remains virtually untouched!!!").
