Obama is where? *

An LA Observed reader spotted this latest headline goof on the L.A. Times website:

Obama makes unexpected visit to Iran

By Ned Parker, Laura King
and Christi Parsons | 7:03 a.m.
The president is likely to visit with Iraqi leaders and U.S. military commanders just 24 hours after one of the worst days of violence in Baghdad this year.

He says the headline was fixed to say Iraq — same difference — about 7:14 a.m.
