Feingold was the first senator to call for a specific date for troop withdrawal of U.S. forces in the [[Iraq War]] on August 17, 2005.  When [[President Bush]] pointed out a specific timetable would play into the terrorists' hands, Feingold stated that "not talking about endgames" was advantageous for the terrorists. <ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/08/17/AR2005081701778.html</ref>
