WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Iraq Study Group calls for a shift in the role of U.S. troops in Iraq to support from combat operations, but stops short of recommending a timetable for withdrawal, CNN reported late on Tuesday.
CNN reported that excerpts of the report, due for release later on Wednesday, showed the group recommends a broader regional approach to achieving stability in Iraq and calls for a comprehensive Middle East peace plan.
Although there was no withdrawal timetable and a recognition that the Iraq government would need U.S. support for some time to come, Washington "must not make open-ended commitments to keep large numbers of troops there in Iraq," CNN quoted the report as saying.
