But let's look back...

December 11, 2005
Bush's deadline democracy managed to propel the process forward and appears on the verge of creating a new government with legitimacy earned at the ballot box.

February 29, 2004
Although it was apparent the Iraqi General Council would miss the U.S.-suggested deadline to establish an interim constitution, IGC member Mawaffak Rubaie asserted late Feb. 28 that the signing of the document is imminent, noting, "Failure is not an option."

March 20, 2003
Air raid sirens were heard in Baghdad at about 5:30 a.m. Thursday (9:30 p.m. Wednesday ET) about 90 minutes after the U.S. deadline for Saddam to step down or face a U.S.-led military attack.

March 16, 2003
Monday is the deadline for allowing diplomacy to find a solution to Iraq, President Bush said today.

February 20, 2003
U.S. war planners and diplomats were digging in Wednesday, trying to gain traction for the slipping timetable for a showdown with Saddam Hussein. Most of all, they want the United Nations Security Council to set a hard deadline for Iraqi disarmament.

Yeah, they sure seem to hate dates certain, don't they?
