Ahead of their one-on-one discussion at the G7 Summit in Germany today, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi ‘met’ with President Obama.
The Iraqi PM walked up to the President, who was engaged in a conversation with Italian Prime Minister Mario Renzi and the President of the International Monetary Fund, Christine Lagarde. The Iraqi PM and his translator sat down next to Obama, who continued his conversation as Abadi sat merely a foot away from him.
The three leaders then stood up, prompting Abadi to stand as well. They then walked away without paying any attention to a disgruntled Abadi. His translator then lifted his hands in visible frustration, and they eventually walked away.
You can watch the video here:
Abadi participated in the G7 summit as a member of an outreach group to discuss terrorism and development. The battle against the Islamic State was one of the most important issues discussed by the world leaders and Abadi.
Abadi’s humiliation came a day after the chairman of the Iraqi Parliament’s Security and Defense Commission, Hakim al-Zamili, said his country is disappointed with the US and needs to approach Iran, Russia, and China in its fight against ISIS.
Speaking to the local media, al-Zamili referred to the delay in delivery of US-made F-16 fighter jets to Iraq and said that Washington is not willing to deliver them and will never do it.

All of those American lives, lost for the evil gw bushes deception to the American people. All of the money wasted by gw bush appointed contractor, to build roads to nowhere and buildings that are invisible. Yes….gw bush sure did a great job in bringing democracy to those Iraqi’s. lol I just knew, from day one, by Obama’s body language when he talked about Iraq, that he had inherited a red herring, at best.
