Washington- US President George W Bush's planned meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Wednesday in Amman has been delayed until Thursday, the White House said. Bush was to meet with al-Maliki and Jordan's King Abdullah for three-way discussions, but because Abdullah and al-Maliki had already met earlier Wednesday, Bush's meeting with the Iraqi was delayed on Thursday, said Dan Bartlett, White House communications director.
Bush was to proceed with plans to meet Abdullah. Bartlett denied that al-Maliki had snubbed Bush because of news Wednesday about a White House memo that earlier this month raised questions about al- Maliki's ability to continue governing the war-torn country.
"No one should read too much into this," Bartlett said.
