Obama meets Maliki as US exits Iraq | World | DAWN.COM: "WASHINGTON: President Barack Obama meets Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki on Monday, marking America’s exit from a war launched in a aerial “shock and awe” assault that went on to deeply wound both nations.
Obama will hold talks with Maliki at the White House, have a press conference and join his visitor at nearby Arlington National Cemetery where many of the nearly 4,500 US war dead lie buried following the 2003 US invasion.
Tens of thousands of Iraqis also died in a war, insurgency and civil dislocation that left Iraq with the stirrings of a democratic, yet troubled political system and facing territorial challenges from neighbor Iran."
