Wanted to bring them home before the surge was a success. Wanted to keep them there to claim credit when surge succeeded.

This is all BS, Sheeple only care about their IRA’s / 401K’s that they still have 100% in on stocks. baaa baaa baaa.

How hard is it to come up with commercials reminding the Sheeple that these economic times are a direct relations to DEMS promising a House (chicken) in every pot....and energy costs that trickled down to every level of this economy over the last 12 months.

Who blocked Drilling, Clean Coal, Nuclear? These simpletons need to be reminded that just because there is a Repub as President, Dems can and have blocked his agenda

Interesting. This was out in the summer and got no coverage at all.

Hopefully it will now.

This may be a completely different issue or there may be more corroborating evidence, like audio or video.

If I remember correctly, the press blew it off last time as he said-he said.

Both. Overtly he was pandering to his base. Covertly he was conniving to help himself politically ergo he was deceiving the very people that were supporting him.

Couple of months at least. I wrote Drudge via his submission form and told him it wasn’t “news” anymore.

There seems to be to be some NEW information if you go to the Washington Times link.

There are direct quotes from Iraqi leaders who are now collaborating that Obama did try to make deals with them. They are also providing some of what his actual words were to them.

I looked at some of the old info that was going around on this story, and I was not seeing this confirmation and verification from Iraqi leaders as was reported in this Washington Times article.

Slick Willie seems more appealing to me compared to Obama and I never thought I woold use the word appealing for Bill in any sentence.

I just heard on the radio that she (Gov Palin) is cleared of all charges on Tasergate. :-)
