Bush praises Iraq study group as Democrats seek policy shift

US President George W Bush yesterday praised a bipartisan commission on Iraq for asking him good questions but said “I’m not going to prejudge” the report the panel will issue.

He pledged to search with victorious Democrats in Congress next year for common objectives in dealing with the conflict.

“I’m not sure what the report is going to say. I look forward to seeing it,” Mr Bush told reporters in the Oval Office at the conclusion of a separate meeting he had with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
