ANBAR CHIEFS TELL OBAMA IRAQI WITHDRAWAL SHOULD BE DONE CAUTIOUSLY

The media misreports Maliki's alleged withdrawal comments, but doesn't touch this story at all:

In Anbar, Mr Obama met militiamen of the US-backed Awakening Councils movement - a tribal alliance whose members turned against al-Qaeda last year.

Ahmed Abu Risha, head of the Awakening Councils, said tribal chiefs had told Mr Obama at their meeting in Ramadi that any withdrawal of US forces from Anbar should be carried out cautiously.

I hope Obama's right hand man wrote this down. I mean if ol' Reggie wasn't too busy getting tea bagged again.
