Top of the news ...

Bush to meet with top Iraqi Shiite leader
By Greg Gordon and John Walcott

McClatchy Newspapers

(MCT)

WASHINGTON - President Bush will hold an Oval Office meeting with a key Iraqi Shiite leader Monday amid a scramble to bolster the strife-torn nation's unity government before it collapses in civil war.

The meeting with Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution, is considered an effort to boost support for Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, with whom Bush met in Jordan last Thursday. Al-Hakim is a leading opponent of anti-U.S. Shiite Muslim cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, who controls the most powerful bloc in Iraq's ruling coalition.

The administration hopes that by urging Hakim and other al-Sadr rivals to support Maliki more forcefully, they can reign in the growing radical influence of al-Sadr and his Mahdi Army militia, two senior administration officials said Sunday.

'Hakim is the leader of the United Iraqi Alliance, which holds 128 seats in the Iraqi Parliament. Bush plans to meet next month with Iraq's Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi, a leader of Iraq's Sunni Muslims who hold 55 seats.

Bush "looks forward to an exchange of views and a discussion of important issues facing Iraq today,'' National Security Council spokesman Gordon Johndroe said.'
