A handout picture released by the Iraqi president's office shows US President Barack Obama (L) meeting with his Iraqi counterpart Jalal Talabani in Baghdad on April 7, 2009. Obama said on a surprise visit to Iraq that the next 18 months would be "critical," and told the war-torn country that it would soon have to look after itself. Obama, who has called for an end to US combat operations in Iraq by August next year, also pledged he would stick to a timetable for all US troops to leave the country by the end of 2011.
