President Bush is scheduled to travel to Jordan on Wednesday to meet with Nouri al-Maliki, but the Iraqi prime minister is being pressured not to go. The Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has threatened to pull out of Maliki’s government if the meeting occurs. On Saturday, al-Sadr took over a state-run television station for two hours to denounce Maliki’s government and to call Sunnis “terrorists.” On Sunday, Maliki visited Sadr City, the scene of Thursday’s attacks. Residents responded by throwing stones at his convoy. They also called him a “coward” and “collaborator.”
