Bush Opposes Iraq's Premier, Shiites Report
(New York Times, March 29, 2006, Pg. 1)

The American ambassador has told Shiite officials that President Bush does
not want the Iraqi prime minister to remain the country's leader in the next
government, senior Shiite politicians said. It was the first time the United
States has directly expressed a preference in the furious debate over the
country's top job, the politicians said, and it is inflaming tensions
between the Americans and some Shiite leaders. The Shiite bloc, which won a
plurality in the parliamentary election in December, nominated Ibrahim
al-Jaafari to retain his post for four more years.
