Pence discusses recent Iraq trip at briefing in Anderson
 Congressman Pence recently returned from a Congressional Delegation trip that included stops in Greece, Iraq, Turkey and Germany.
This past weekend the Congressman held an open briefing in Anderson about his fourth and most recent trip to Iraq.
Toshua E. Phillips of The Anderson Herald Bulletin writes that attending the meeting were both "supporters and critics on Saturday at Anderson City Hall."
Here is another excerpt from the article:
"Pence said despite the media’s take, which often highlights bombings and killings, he saw more Iraqis stepping up than any other trip — police, military and civilian leadership.
"'I believe on this trip I saw more commitment from the civilian leadership in Iraq,' Pence said about his talks with Major General Al Hamdani, a police chief; vice governor Kashmala, the second ranking official in the Province of Ninevah and new Iraqi prime minister, Jawad Al-Maliki.
"'This man might well be the right man at the right time,' the congressman said about Al-Maliki, a Shiite."
