Iraqs new Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, has cancelled a scheduled visit to the White House, citing concerns about the security situation there. Speaking to reporters in Baghdad on Wednesday, Abadi said that he had been looking forward to visiting the White House but that recent reports had given me the willies. They really need to get on top of things there, he said. Until they do, Im better off staying in Iraq. The Prime Ministers decision comes only one day after a White House visit was abruptly cancelled by Ashraf Ghani, the new President of Afghanistan. Ghani declined President Barack Obamas invitation early Tuesday, reportedly asking the President, Cant we just do this over Skype?
