President Bush meeting with Iraqi Leaders

According to the Washington Post:
President Bush said Tuesday morning he will press Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki for a plan to contain the country's escalating sectarian violence, though he refused to characterize the situation in Iraq as a civil war.

Previewing the message he will carry with him to Amman, Jordan, where he will meet Maliki for a summit later this week, Bush said he will ask the Iraqi leader, "What do we need to do to succeed? What is your strategy in dealing with the sectarian violence?"

President Bush's diplomatic approach to change in Iraq is a more then welcomed event. I see this as to opening the Pandora's Box of Iraqi control. This is possibly the start of transferring the power in Iraq to the Iraqi government. President Bush wants the Iraq Prime Minister to take control and make decisions of what will happen next. I see this as an important step in avoiding the impending civil war, although many media outlets are calling it that already.

What changes do you think need to happen in the Iraqi government in terms of their control over the war in Iraq?
