Seems a secure video conference would suffice for any "message" (seems an odd time to remove him from Baghdad will all that is going on?)] it all seems (at least reported) to be related to military efforts. UNSC wanted to get these leaders all together to deal with ISIL. That is a pretty signifcant issue. What Obama wants to say to Abadi, no idea.
