Military As Well As State Dept. Welcome Senator Obama To Baghdad
Watch It:

 Barack in Baghdad transcript:

(Wild Cheers)

Nightline: Monday night in Baghdad, Barack Obama is in the house.  The house, the U.S. Embassy and it was an amazing scene.

Barack: I just want to introduce myself, I'm Barack Obama.

(Wild Cheers)

Nightline: The troops and state department workers mobbed him.  And he responded with brief remarks praising their service.

Barack: So I don't care whether you are a Sailor, a Soldier, an Airmen, or Marine.  A National Guard, a Reservist, active duty, we just want to say thank you.

Barack: Illinois in the house?

Crowd: I’m from Chicago!

Barack: Hey, Chicago!  South Side? West Side?

Nightline: As he makes his way through the war zones in Afghanistan and Iraq, Barack Obama has come face to face with the men and women he seeks to lead -  American G.I.'S, who are sacrificing so much for our country.

Barack: Back home, as I travel all across the country, every single day I meet your friends, your family members, your co-workers, and the main thing they want me to communicate is how proud they are of you.

They may disagree on politics. They may disagree on the issues. But the country is absolutely united in the excellence, the devotion, the dedication with which you have performed your duties, here.
