CAMP DAVID, Md., April 27 (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Friday he will veto a bill setting a timeline for a withdrawal from Iraq that the U.S. Congress plans to send him within days.

Bush said he would also veto a second war-funding bill if it included dates for pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq.

"I haven't vetoed the first bill yet, but I'm going to ... I made it clear I would veto it," he said at a joint news conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
