Obama to visit Iraq

United States presidential hopeful Barack Obama said he may travel to Iraq between winning the Democratic nomination and the November general election.



The Illinois Democrat told reporters that Iraq would obviously be at the top of the list of stops.



He said should he travel to Iraq, he will be there to talk with troops and commanders and not to score political points.



Obama made the comments days after Senator John McCain suggested that the two should make a joint trip to the country.



However, that proposal was dismissed by Obama on Tuesday saying McCain’s suggestion was nothing more than a political stunt.
