Atrios Does It .....
..... so I don't have to. Here is the latest update of the upcoming Friedman's coming due:
11/30/06 Zalmay Khalilzad sez Maliki has a window of a couple of months.

11/18/06 Joe Klein says we should give Iraq "One last shot." Time ambiguous, so I gave him a Friedman.

11/19/06 Lee Hamilton says next 3 months are critical.

12/31/06 Joe Lieberman says significant troop withdrawals begin.

1/06/07 Senator Warner sez "In two or three months if this thing hasn’t come to fruition and this level of violence is not under control," Warner said, "I think it’s a responsibility of our government to determine: Is there a change of course we should take?"

03/05/07 General George Casey says "This is a decisive period for everyone and everyone knows it. The next six months will determine the future of Iraq"

05/20/07 Obama says reduction should start in 4 to 6 months.

05/26/07 Cornyn says we need another 4 to 6 months to get this right.

05/26/07 McCaffrey says the next 4 to 6 months are crucial.

06/12/07 McCain sez we're going to win or lose this thing within the next several months.

12/31/07 Joe Lieberman says half the troops will likely be home, with full withdrawal possible.
We'll likely be adding the Hamilton-Baker commission to the list very soon.
