Bush Plans Key Meetings on Sidelines of UN Meeting (2/3)
U.S. military officials say that will not happen until next July, at the earliest.
While the timing has changed, Mr. Bush says his determination has not.
"The goals are the same, and have we achieved them as fast? No, we haven't. But, however, having not achieved them doesn't mean we ought to quit."
President Bush meets with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki following his General Assembly speech. He will take part in a roundtable on democracy before attending a Security Council meeting on Africa that is expected to focus on a joint U.N.-African Union peacekeeping force for Darfur.
While in New York, White House officials say, there are no plans for President Bush to meet with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who Mr. Bush says is secretly developing nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear program is meant only to generate electricity.
Mr. Bush again told White House reporters he never rules out the possible use of force against Iran, but believes it is still possible to resolve the dispute diplomatically.
