Baghdad, Iraq: Senator Barack Obama's first trip to Iraq was described by him as "disappointing," adding that he thought he'd see "at least some camels." The Senator met with US commanders, Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, Iraqi Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi and Iraqi President Jalal Talabani with whom he shard his views and exchanged some racist jokes.

However, Obama was not content with the dangerous journey into the heart of the war on terrorism, the International Zone in Baghdad as he did not get to see any camels. "You know how cool it would have been to see like, um, an Arab man riding a camel" asked Obama who plans to revisit Iraq again in 2012 if he loses the elections and never if he wins.
