Anyone have the itinerary for Obama's Tour of Europe and the Middle East?
...Like when he's going to be where? All I have found are discussions of the major stops he's going to make.

Thanks!

1. Unofficial...

Obama's itinerary has not been released, but details have leaked out from capitals on his route.

He is expected to meet King Abdullah in Amman on Monday and will next head to Jerusalem for talks with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.

Senior Palestinian diplomat Saeb Erakat has said Obama will visit Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas in the West Bank on July 23.

Obama will begin his visit to Europe in Berlin, a city rebuilt with American money after World War II, with its very unity a living symbol of shared US and European endeavor in the Cold War.

Obama is expected to make a short trip to Paris on July 25, for talks with French President Nicolas Sarkozy, and will wrap up his swing by meeting Britain's Brown.

5. And I remember reading that
the Iraq/Afghanistan visit is supposed to take place before the rest of the trip, which would mean this week-end.

2. I was wondering the same thing. Weren't all the other major visits to Iraq
by top officials kept secret until the day of or after the fact? :shrug: I am nervous about this.

4. I'm sure that's why he isn't releasing an official itinerary. nt
