WASHINGTON, Dec 7, SPA -- President George W. Bush may be able to "announce a new way forward" in Iraq by the end of the year, his chief spokesman told CNN Wednesday night. Tony Snow told CNN's "Larry King Live" that Bush would need to compare Wednesday's report by the Iraq Study Group with pending studies by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and National Security Council before any policy changes are announced. "We're hoping to have all that pulled together so that maybe by the end of the year, the president can announce a new way forward," Snow told King. In presenting the group's report Wednesday, co-chairman James Baker said that because "events in Iraq could overtake what we recommend," members of the group "believe that decisions should be made by our national leaders with some urgency." After receiving the report from panel members, Bush told them that "we will take every proposal seriously, and we will act in a timely fashion." But he did not indicate when he might announce any changes in his Iraq policy.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/409368
