WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says Vice President Joe Biden
is in Iraq.
He's there to visit U.S. troops and meet with Iraqi leaders,
including President Jalal Talabani and Prime Minister Nouri
al-Maliki.
Biden headed to Iraq the same week as U.S. troops handed over
security in cities and urban areas to Iraqis.
The White House says Biden will reiterate the U.S. commitment to
carry out President Barack Obama's plan to withdraw combat forces.
He also will press Iraqi leaders to make more progress toward
political reconciliation. It's his first trip to Iraq as vice
president.
