Bush Says No Timetable For Troop Withdrawal

OK, I know you can't predict what is going to happen, but why can't everyone put their heads together and come up with some goals/markers? Like, so many Iraqi troops will be trained by January, so many by June, etc? Why can't they say outline some things so that we can be more optimistic that things are going to eventually come to a conclusion?
