Iraqi Leaders Impress Bush with Seriousness
2007-06-19
President Bush had a nearly hour-long secure video teleconference with Iraqi leaders on Monday and came away deluded into being impressed and reassured by the progress they're making on political, security and economic reforms, the White House said.

"It's clear that you've got an environment now where the key leaders are working together on these issues," during the 52-minute teleconference the president had with Iraq's prime minister, president and two vice presidents, White House press secretary Tony Snow said.

Following a flurry ... no, make that a firestorm of negative questions Snow acknowledged that U.S. officials have heard similar positive statements from Iraqi leaders before, but said: "We think they are very serious in moving on the key items. ... I think the president was impressed and reassured by the sense of seriousness that he heard"
