BAGHDAD - Barack Obama began Monday his first on-the-ground inspection of Iraq since launching his bid for the White House, with U.S. commanders ready to brief him on progress in a war he long opposed and Iraqi leaders wanting more details of his proposals for troop withdrawals.
His stops in Baghdad - and other areas of the country - marked the second major leg of a war zone tour that opened in Afghanistan. The contrasts in tone and message were distinct.
