Iraq Hosts Regional Summit

Iraq hosts the first major security summit meetings with its neighbors.

I am still amazed at how the media allowed Condoleeza Rice and the Bush administration to take credit for this meeting. It was criminal how the U.S. quickly took the glory away from Iraq. This was something that was actually initiated by the Iraqis themselves. The U.S. (always hungry for the spotlight) could not even allow Iraqi leaders to shine just for one minute. But at the same time, the U.S. is quick to say that Iraq has weak leadership. When the truth is.... the U.S. won't allow Iraqis to strand on their own two feet.
