A CSIS Statesmen’s Forum with H.E. Samir Sumaida’ie, Iraq’s Ambassador to the United States, was quoted by the Washington Post, "An Iraqi View of the War."
While Gen. David H. Petraeus and Ambassador Ryan C. Crocker were on Capitol Hill last week updating the situation in Iraq from the American point of view, Iraq's ambassador to the United States, Sameer Shaker Sumaidaie, was giving his somewhat different -- also upbeat -- view at a think tank in downtown Washington.
Seeing the situation in Iraq through the eyes of an Iraqi official is a worthwhile exercise, starting with a look back at 2003.
