PM of Netherlands wouldn't commit to troops staying in Iraq today at the WH

<snip>MALVEAUX: The president met with the prime minister of the Netherlands in the Oval Office today. And that prime minister helping President Bush make his case saying that yes, they'd stand by the United States and support them in the war on terror.

But at the same time wouldn't commit to allowing his troops, about 1,000 in number, the Dutch troops in Iraq to stay beyond six months. That is still in doubt -- Wolf.
