BAGHDAD - Vice President
Dick Cheney and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki acknowledged problems
in the pace of reducing violence in Iraq on Wednesday, but both pledged their
governments would continue working together toward a solution.

"The meeting with the vice president paved a foundation for practical steps to
support our efforts working on both the security front as well as the domestic
political issues," said al-Maliki as he and Cheney made brief statements to
reporters.

Al-Maliki is coming under increasing pressure from Washington to demonstrate
progress in easing sectarian violence, and Cheney's unannounced visit to Iraq
was depicted by U.S. officials as an attempt to press al-Maliki and other
Iraqi leaders to do more to achieve reconciliation among factions.

Earlier, Cheney got a firsthand briefing on conditions in Iraq and the
effectiveness of the U.S. military buildup from the top U.S. commander in Iraq.
