| Description | President Bush is stepping into Iraq's political divide, meeting with a top Shiite power broker at the White House next week and with the nation's Sunni vice president in January.
The president is under pressure to decide a new blueprint for U.S. involvement in Iraq, where sectarian violence threatens all-out civil war. The meetings suggest that Bush wants to become more personally involved in trying to bring warring factions together.
Just back from meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Thursday in Jordan, Bush is reaching out on Monday to another Shiite politician, Abdul-Aziz al-Hakim, to seek ways to end the violence and keep Iraq's unity government intact.
