Bush: troop pullout from Iraq decided in future
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Tuesday refused to give a timetable for the pullout of American troops from Iraq and suggested they many remain there beyond his term in office.
Asked about full troop withdrawal from Iraq, Bush told a news conference: "That of course is an objective and that will be decided by future presidents and future governments of Iraq."
He reiterated that troop withdrawal decisions would be made by commanders on the ground.

WASHINGTON -- In his first press conference after reelection, President Bush boldly proclaimed: "I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it.''
In the ninth press conference of his second term today, with Bush's public approval ratings resting at the lowest point of his presidency, the president conceded: "I'd say I'm spending that capital on the war.''
