OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL [election is over?]
New York Post ^ | 09/15/08 | AMIR TAHERI

Posted on 09/15/2008 2:03:51 AM PDT by Enchante

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.

Obama insisted that Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of US troops - and that it was in the interests of both sides not to have an agreement negotiated by the Bush administration in its "state of weakness and political confusion."

The MSM will not cover this, but they will push on a retarded child or firing a trooper.

Ok folks ? how many think that, that movie ( A American Carol ) that lampoons the MSM the liberal left in a parody of a movie, that shows the absurdity of the left couldn't happen at a better time ?
Let's make this the BIGGEST !! movie of the year ... biggest block buster of the year !!! what irony !! to trow this back in their faces after all the crap we have suffered from them all these years.
This movie will just reinforce what we have been talking about the Gibson Interrogation of Sarah Palin.

Should this information be sent to the McCain campaign headquarters for possible future advertisement material?

What was Obama thinking? Did he thin the Iraqis would keep this mum? Did he think the military would keep this mum?

He must have. He automatically assumed they were on his side.

Either that or he got Iraq mixed up with Iran. Iran, of course, is on his side.

You are absolutely correct. The McCain/ Palin camp must make absolutely sure this is for real before going out on a limb. If this story is for real, it's huge, but if it's not, our side will look terrible.

It wouldn't be too hard to check this out with Petraeus though. If he confirms that part of the story, that alone would be disastrous for Obama. Then, not only would Obama have gone to Europe to act fawn before the Europeans, he also started bossing around our own General like he was his subordinate.

" and the Republicans always need reminders to act like they have some cajones. "

Isn't it a shame that the troops, the grunts have to show the leaders how to lead ?

Not hard to push this now. Here is the approach: "Well Sean (Hannity -assuming Fox is the only one carrying this), if true this is extremely troubling and brings up issues, not only of a cynical manipulation for election purposes, but of potential breaches of US law - The Logan Act for one. We are following up on this story and we can assure you this issue will be pursued fully."

I can remember the 1979 Hostage Crises like it was yesterday.
The opening theme on ABC news that you hear today just it's start during that time ( please correct me if I am wrong ).
This should be reminded to Americans who were in charge at that time...

So far not a word from Rush.

I've noticed that. Very strange.

Also, as far as I know, no denial from Obama, whose team prides itself on rapid responses. He almost has to deny this, even if it's true, doesn't he?

Appears nobody in washington has the nads to enforce the logan act anymore. Pelosi made a huge public spectacle of going to Syria and nothing happened to her.

Haven't you heard...tonight Bill O. is staring a new series on Wonder Boy starting with his childhood.

Yeah...O'Reilly was promoting his The Chronicles of Barack Hussein Obama, right before Obama decided to come on Fox for the first time on the night of John McCain's nomination. Hmmmm...

I'm sure next week we can expect the week-long puff piece on John...'cause we know O'Reilly is an Independent, he's nonpartisan, and is always totally fair & balanced!

We know this HAS to be true as he so often tells us.

If that story has gotten this far, I am sure the White house has already gotten news about it.
