Looks like the Journal was right. Here's Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, quoted by the AP (via TPM):

"We have agreed that some goals, some aspirational timetables for how that might unfold, are well worth having in such an agreement."

So "aspirational timetables" is the new euphemism for setting a date. Ball's in your court, John McCain.
