Obama's next Mideast stops - Jordan, Israel
Jordan, Israel are the next stops for Obama after Iraq visit. Arabs and Israelis will get their chance to size up Barack Obama as the Democratic presidential contender when he heads to Jordan and Israel on Tuesday, after completing a Baghdad visit where he gained fresh support from Iraqi leaders for his call to pull American combat forces out of Iraq in 2010.
