Bush No Quid Pro Quo with Iran

 President Bush condemed Iran for the capture of British sailors in Iraqi not Iranian waters and called for their immediate release.  He also indicated that there would not be a prisoner exchange of Iranian captives seized in Iraq for British troops seized in Iraqi waters by Iran.

Bush would not comment about Britain's options if Iran does not release the hostages, but he seemed to reject any swapping of the British captives for Iranians detained in Iraq.

"I support the prime minister when he made it clear there were no quid pro quos," Bush said.
