The issue is that some of those people want Iraq to be a failure, and so they want to define an achievable objective for the terrorists to make Iraq a "failure".
Right now there is a time table that has basically been met, but even if terrorists were to cause something to slip by a week or even a month that would not constitute a "failure" for the new government. But the pro-terrorist politicians would want to define things in such terms, so the terrorists would then have an attaintable objective.

(Right hand to God) I really don't understand these people. It's like they live in a different world.
