He's also too smart to think that meeting with Allawi is not something being done for the campaign trail. Bush has Negroponte to keep Allawi on a short leash and tell him what to do (like, as George Will reported this week,* to manage his media appearances in this country).
* "After "This Week" arranged with Allawi's office for Sunday's interview, the State Department called ABC to say that the office of U.S. Ambassador John Negroponte in Baghdad had decided that the interview would not happen until this coming Sunday, after Allawi's U.S. visit. This attempt by the U.S. Embassy to exercise sovereignty over the prime minister raised interesting questions about just what was actually transferred on June 28 when sovereignty was supposedly given to the Iraqi government. The White House recognized the inconvenience of such questions. The interview occurred."
