WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush gets an early description of a bipartisan panel's
findings on Iraq on Tuesday but the White House said he was not "tensing for a punch"
from a report expected to offer options for a change of course.
White House spokesman Tony Snow said Bush was to have lunch with former Secretary
of State James Baker, who as co-chairman of the Iraq Study Group has spent six months
studying the Iraq war and working out recommendations on what to do.
The 10-member group is to make public its findings on Wednesday but Snow said Baker,
a Republican and long-time Bush family friend, was expected to give a verbal description
of the "direction of the report" during the lunch with the president.
