WASHINGTON--President Bush plans to meet next week with top Pentagon and State
Department officials, and hopes to offer a revised Iraq plan within two weeks,
aides (政府官员的副手)said
Friday.
White House
spokeswoman Dana Perino said today Bush wants to give a major speech on Iraq
before Christmas, "but that is not set in stone."
At a morning
meeting with congressional leaders, Bush said, "We talked about the need
for a new way forward in Iraq."
Bush will visit
the State Department on Monday and meetings with military officials will follow
over the next two days, according to a tentative White House schedule. All are
involved in an ongoing administration review of the situation in Iraq.
"These are
deliberative(慎重的)
meetings and discussions," said Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the
National Security Council. "They will inform the president's thinking, and
he will inform their thinking."
Bush said he is
also reviewing the Iraq Study Group report released Wednesday. Its suggestions
include withdrawing US troops by early 2008, conditions permitting, and a new
diplomatic(外交的)
effort including Iraq's neighbors, Iran and Syria.
The president said he
also wanted the troops home too, but not until the new Iraq government can
sustain(支撑) itself.
He expressed skepticism(怀疑态度) about possible talks with Iran and Syria, saying they must stop
efforts to undermine(削弱) Iraq's fledgling(年轻的) democracy.
