As you've seen in the news, the President recently stopped in Iraq on the way to the APEC summit in Australia. Associated Press captured a few photos of the commanders and top political people in the administration. Included are General David Petraeus, commander of all ground forces in Iraq and his boss Admiral William Fallon, CENTCOM Commander.
