WASHINGTON, Jan 10 (Reuters) - U.S. President George W. Bush will meet on Friday with Iraqi opposition leaders to discuss plans for a post-war Iraq, the White House said.

"The president wants to talk to them about his hopes and dreams for the future of a free Iraq that is inclusive and unified and democratic," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said of Bush's Oval Office meeting with leaders of what he called the "free Iraqi community."

Washington has threatened to disarm Iraq by force if it fails to disarm peacefully. Iraq denies having any banned weapons.

The meeting comes as Washington draws up plans for a post-war Iraq involving an extended American military presence.

Administration plans envisage providing security and food as well as economic, humanitarian and reconstruction assistance, in probably the most ambitious scheme to administer a country since the Allied occupations of Japan and Germany after World War Two.

A Bush administration official said the meeting would not focus on military planning for a possible invasion to topple Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

Instead, Bush would solicit views on "the future of Iraq and reforming Iraq," the official said.
