WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President George W. Bush said Wednesday night that his country's commitment to Iraq is not open-ended.

    "I have made it clear to the prime minister (Nouri al-Maliki) and Iraq's other leaders that America's commitment is not open-ended," he said in a televised speech.

    "If the Iraqi government does not follow through on its promises, it will lose the support of the American people -- and it will lose the support of the Iraqi people," Bush said.
