Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki came to the White House July 22 to meet at “an important moment,” president Obama said during their joint press conference.
“We’re in the midst of a full transition to Iraqi responsibility and to a comprehensive partnership between the United States and Iraq based on mutual interests and mutual respect. The success of this transition is critically important to the security and prosperity of our people, and it is a top priority of my administration,” Obama said.
The United States is committed to withdrawing combat brigades from Iraq by August 2010 and to remove all troops by 2011, Obama said. But “America stands ready to help the Iraqi government build their capacity to provide basic services and to promote the rule of law,” he said.

what a naive question? If Obama was not a ‘citizen’ how could he be a senator etc
and then contest Presidential elections and WIN IT.

It is an excellent gesture clicked for an important moment that dwells into the past with a responsible sense of realization that was destined the way it is now being brought about with a time bound plan and on that if one were to look positively on it shredding the past, one can only say that Iraq and America needed to be friends in a big way for a global purpose right now engaged in the study of terrorism of its self born nature requiring transformation at the human level and for which Iraq and its neighboring countries can contribute in a big way on the hurt psychology of it for healing that is of reassurance held by God or Allah for all.

Iraqi is a thorny global issue.
Bush went into iraq without UN permission to do so.
Will Bush be questioned/prosecuted like what the ICC want from Sudan?
