al-Maliki to Obama: "Less for Less"

Baghdad, Iraq: Senator Obama's visit to his world, the Muslim world began with Afghanistan where he stated that the US should pursue a "more for more" policy vis-a-vis Afghanistan's crucial neighbor, Pakistan, meaning, more US aid for more action against terrorism from the Pakistanis. That message however, did not sit well with the now arrogant Iraqi Prime Minister, who told Obama that Iraq was interested in a "less for less" policy, meaning less visits by him [Obama] for less US troops in Iraq, something the Prime Minister described as "win win."
