President Bush: Iraqi Government Has Got To Do More

President Bush admited today that the Iraqi government is not doing enough to bridge political divisions with the country.

With September 15th just around the corner, it allows President Bush very little time toprove the success of the temporarily increased number of troops based in Iraq.

A lead argument Bush is expected to present will be that former Sunni insurgents are now being involved to help the fight against al-Qaida, as a result of the larger number of troops now based in Iraq.

When Bush met with the now Prime mister of Iraq al-Maliki he dubbed him ‘the right ago for Iraq’. Over a year later however, Bush admitted at the North American summit earlier today:

“I think there’s a certain level of frustration with the leadership in general, inability to work – come together to get, for example, an oil revenue law passed or provincial elections,”

Are the increased number of troops in Iraq having a positive effect?

With the current leadership not working how could political stability improve?
