| His comments come a day after the US Senate upheld a Democrat-led proposal calling for US combat troops to pull out of Iraq by next March.
Mr Bush said setting "a specific and arbitrary date" would be "disastrous".
He warned that money to support US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan would begin to run out in mid-April.
"If Congress fails to pass a bill to fund our troops on the front lines, the American people will know who to hold responsible," he said.
Enemies 'plotting'
Two Republicans sided with the Democrats in the Senate on Tuesday to reject a Republican amendment that would have removed the withdrawal clause from a bill on military funding
A bill in the House of Representatives, imposing a 31 August 2008 deadline for pulling troops out, was passed narrowly by 218 votes to 212 on Friday.
