President Bush said he would reject any calls for setting a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S. troops. He spoke to the press after meeting with advisers from the Iraq Study Group.

President Bush: “They want us to succeed in Iraq, just like I want to succeed. And so we had a really good discussion. I’m not sure what the report is going to say. I’m looking forward to seeing it. I believe this: I believe that it’s important for us to succeed in Iraq, not only for our security, but for the security of the Middle East, and that I’m looking forward to interesting ideas.”
