Washington - The White House on Wednesday left little doubt that US President George W Bush would embrace a plan to freeze US troop withdrawals from Iraq for at least 45 days after July, as suggested by the top US military commander there.

"You've heard the president say for years that he's the type of commander-in-chief who listens to his commanders on the ground and to the experts who can provide the best advice to him," said spokesperson Dana Perino.

In view of "the president's practice of listening to his commanders on the ground, it would not be to type if he did not listen to them," she told reporters.
