White House rejects call for Iraq pullout timetable

WASHINGTON (AFP) - The White House rejected calls for setting a precise timetable for a US withdrawal from
Iraq, even as a new poll showed almost six in 10 Americans want at least a partial pullout of US forces.

"We will leave when we complete the mission," spokesman Scott McClellan said a day after a representative in US
President George W. Bush's Republican party said he would push legislation fixing a firm schedule for such a withdrawal.

"We are not going to stay a day longer than what is necessary. But what we're working to achieve in Iraq is vital to peace and security for generations to come," said McClellan.

Representative Walter Jones (news, bio, voting record), a North Carolina Republican, said on ABC television Sunday that he would introduce a bill calling for a firm timetable for withdrawing US forces from Iraq.
