White House sees no prolonged military conflict in Iraq

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The Obama administration stressed again Friday that it has no plans to send U.S. combat troops to Iraq.

"They can only be solved by an inclusive government in Iraq," he said. The U.S. military can only support that government, he said.
