"Obama presses Iraqi leader to include all in reconciliation" by Steven R. Hurst, Associated Press | July 23, 2009

WASHINGTON - President Obama said he pressed Iraq’s prime minister yesterday to make room in his government and security forces for all ethnic and religious groups to prevent a resurgence of the violence and turmoil that took the country to the verge of civil war....

Please see Tortured Logic and follow the links for who is REALLY RESPONSIBLE for VIOLENCE in IRAQ! I'm sick of the Zionist bulls***!

Obama has shifted his military focus to Afghanistan and the border regions of Pakistan, vowing to wipe out Al Qaeda sanctuaries and defeat the allied Islamic extremist forces of the Taliban.

Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah.

US officials, while praising improvement in Iraqi security forces, remain deeply concerned that Maliki’s Shi’ite Muslim-dominated government has been unable or unwilling to reconcile with the country’s minority Sunni Muslims and Kurds. The Sunnis had run Iraq until the United States ouster of Saddam Hussein in 2003 and are still smarting over their loss of power in politics, the economy, and military.

Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah.

Aware of Sunni hard feelings and Kurdish desires for autonomy in an oil-rich section of the northeast of Iraq, Obama enjoined Maliki to be more flexible about sharing power and allowing provincial governments a greater role in decision-making....

Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah.

Both leaders downplayed reports from Iraq that US forces, since pulling out of the cities, have not been given the flexibility called for under the Status of Forces Agreement to respond to attacks by remnants of Al Qaeda in Iraq and Shi’ite militants.

Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah.

I'm sick of MSM lies passing themselves off as 'news."
