Boehner warns against Iraq deadline and talks with Iran and Syria
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio, said Wednesday he is pleased with the Iraq Study Group, but cautioned against setting deadlines for troop withdrawal or negotiating with Iran and Syria.
"We will not accomplish victory by setting arbitrary deadlines or negotiating with hostile governments," Boehner said in a statement Wednesday. The report calls for withdrawing military troops by 2008 and opening diplomatic channels with Iran and Syria. -- CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
