Obama Lands in Iraq, Meets with al-Maliki

Barack Obama landed in Iraq today and has already met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, Reuters is reporting.

Obama traveled there early this morning from Kuwait, where he spent last night after a visit to Afghanistan Saturday and Sunday.

The senator’s touchdown in Iraq comes just after Maliki told German magazine Der Spiegel that Obama “is right when he talks about 16 months” as a withdrawal timetable for U.S. troops.
