NY Post ^ | 9/15/2008 | Amir Taheri

WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.

According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

“He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview.

Obozo and his team interfered during the 2008 election season with a variety of international contacts. MSM didn’t care, of course. Liberals are lying scum.

The future Peace Prize recipient wanted to make sure that he got credit for bringing “peace” to Iraq.

I think every soldier who died in Iraq died in vain seeing how the “occupation” and Iraqi government was a disaster. After all said and done , what did American get out of it? Obama shat it all away for political gain, left and media beat it down until the narrative “Bush’s Vietnam”, “blood for oil” etc. was solidified. The Iraqi’s still hate our guts. ISIS is a nightmare. Would the Mideast be better off with Saddam Husein/Baathist’s party still in power let alone any other dictator such as Kadafi? Hindsight can be quite sobering.

Obama shat it all away for political gain,

Obama was a war monger/upsetter of peace in many countries.

Hussein supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

Hussein and useful idiot Hillary illegally attacked and overthrew the government of Libya.

Hussein has used American assets to aid Syrian rebels who are attempting to overthrow the government. Who were the Libyan and Syrian rebels? In large part, Al Qaeda and ISIS.

Why would a guy named Hussein want to over throw governments so that peaceful Muslim terrorists could take over?

If you can't answer that question, color yourself not so bright.
