President Obama is in Baghdad for an unannounced visit. His stop there comes after his trip to Europe last week.
According to the White House, Obama will meet with U.S. commanders and troops. He'll also be speaking to Iraqi leaders by phone.
Weather conditions are preventing helicopter flights to see them in person.
Earlier today he was in Turkey, where he held a town hall-style meeting with a group of college students. He told them he was hopeful about the prospects for peace in the Middle East.
