ABC News: McCain Camp: Obama 'Wrong' on Iraq
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
BAGHDAD - Senator Barack Obama arrived in Baghdad on Monday, meeting with Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki and other senior Iraqi politicians, as an Iraqi spokesman said that the government was hopeful that foreign combat troops would withdraw in 2010. (article 15) BAGHDAD - On the eve of Senator Barack Obama s visit to Iraq, its prime minister tried to step back Sunday from comments in an interview in which he appeared to support Mr. Obama's plan for troop withdrawal. (article 8) The department said the State Department issued similar orders ahead of presumed Republican nominee John McCain s overseas tours to Iraq, Mexico and elsewhere this year, but limited the communication to embassies in countries the Republican planned to visit. (article 31) Al-Dabbagh said the government did not endorse a fixed date, but hoped American combat units could be out of Iraq sometime in 2010. (article 12) The Pentagon's top military commander, Adm. Mike Mullen, said today that a fixed timetable for U.S. troop withdrawal could jeopardize the progress that has been made in Iraq. (article 18) Obama said the troop surge in Iraq would fail to cut violence or improve political reconciliation, calling Iraq "an impediment" to success in the war on terror, which he said should be focused on Afghanistan. (article 19)
