Setting a deadline for redeployment or withdrawal, he said, could have dire consequences.
"I fear that it would also send another message to our terrorist enemies and to the sectarian militias in Iraq," Lieberman argued, "that America is not prepared to see this fight through until the Iraqis themselves can take over."]
