Bush, Pentagon officials meeting on Iraq
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush meets Wednesday with top Pentagon officials to hear their views on the way forward in Iraq.

He is sitting down with incoming Defense Secretary Robert Gates, outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, and the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

A major question is whether Bush should dispatch more troops to Iraq to try to restore order and help push forward political amity. That would go against the advice of the Iraq Study Group, which opposed deploying more troops.

Bush is studying the group's report and gathering the analysis of others in the government before he decides on what to do next in Iraq.
