July 9 (Bloomberg) -- The Bush administration rejects setting any ``arbitrary'' deadline to withdraw forces from Iraq, the president's spokeswoman said after an Iraqi official said his government wants a timeline for the presence of U.S. troops.
``We have always been opposed, and remain so, to an arbitrary withdrawal date,'' White House press secretary Dana Perino said in Toyako, Japan, where President George W. Bush is attending a summit of the Group of Eight industrial nations. ``We believe the Iraqis agree with us in that regard.''
The U.S. and Iraq are negotiating an agreement on the status of coalition forces after their United Nations mandate expires at the end of December. Iraqi national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie said yesterday that his nation wants a ``timeline horizon on combat operations.''
