A report on US policy in Iraq is to urge negotiations with Iran and Syria over the future of their neighbour, according to leaked excerpts. US broadcaster ABC says the Iraq Study Group (ISG) will also recommend troops move from combat to support roles, with all combat troops gone by early 2008.
The recommendation sinclude:
US must not make open-ended commitments to keeping large numbers of troops in Iraq
Primary mission of US forces should evolve to one of supporting Iraqi army
All combat troops could leave Iraq by the first quarter of 2008
