The Iraqi President Haider al-Abadi approached, clearly hoping to talk with Obama, sitting down right next to him. Obama continued his discussion with the others not acknowledging Abadi.
Obama and the others then stood up, and Abdadi stood as well, hoping to catch Obama’s attention, but Obama simply turned and walked away. Abdi and his translator then walk off, looking annoyed.
Meanwhile Obama admitted today he had “no complete strategy” for training Iraqis to deal with ISIS. Maybe talking with the leadership would actually help…
