... a document that guarantees that we will be out by 2011 and will likely be ineffective prior to that due to the constraints placed on us.
Yes.

The caution is that we are dealing with leaked classified information (the DC and Baghdad sieves). The dropdead dates have been consistent in the many media versions. 30 Jun 2009 might be the real dropdead date - assuming that is true, etc. - requirement of retreat to bases, joint operational command, etc.

Probably best to keep powder dry until we learn something definitive.
