Obama surprised the US troops in Iraq this morning with a visit and a speech. He arrived at Camp Victory this morning, seemingly out of the blue, near the Baghdad International Airport and spoke with top US commander of Iraq, General Raymond Odierno. He’s also set to meet with Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki later today. Reuters reports that the trip was not publicized before Air Force One landed due to security reasons.
