White House spokesman Ken Lisaius also said Washington wanted the Spanish withdrawal to be made in a "coordinated, responsible and orderly manner" but offered no critique of Madrid's decision.
Condoleezza Rice (news - web sites), speaking on ABC's "This Week" before the decision was announced in Madrid, said, "We know that there are others who are going to have to assess how they see the risk."
"We have 34 countries with forces on the ground. I think there are going to be some changes," Rice added.
