No 'date certain' for Iraq victory, withdrawal: US
Afp, Washington
The White House, in its most detailed public plan yet for success in Iraq, said Wednesday it expected to reduce US forces there in 2006 but warned that victory would not come by a "date certain." "No war war has ever been won on a timetable and neither will this one," US President George W. Bush's national security council said in a policy paper entitled "National Strategy for Victory in Iraq," dated November 2005. "Although we are confident of victory in Iraq, we will not put a date certain on when each stage of success will be reached, because the timing of success depends upon meeting certain conditions, not arbitrary timetables," it said.
