McCain Responds to Obama's Reported Undermining of the Commander-In-Chief During Wartime [Andy McCarthy]

The McCain Campaign has issued a statement responding to the report from Amer Taheri (see today's web briefing) that Sen. Obama secretly negotiated with the Iraqi government regarding U.S. withdrawal from Iraq. McCain spokesman Randy Scheunemann stated as follows:

At this point, it is not yet clear what official American negotiations Senator Obama tried to undermine with Iraqi leaders, but the possibility of such actions is unprecedented. It should be concerning to all that he reportedly urged that the democratically-elected Iraqi government listen to him rather than the US administration in power. If news reports are accurate, this is an egregious act of political interference by a presidential candidate seeking political advantage overseas. Senator Obama needs to reveal what he said to Iraq's Foreign Minister during their closed door meeting. The charge that he sought to delay the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq raises serious questions about Senator Obama's judgment and it demands an explanation.

Very good. I’m glad they didn’t let it pass unremarked.

Put in Breaking News?

[Miss Didi]

Huge thread in Breaking News...first reported in the NY Post and then on Fox, Drudge, Rush, Mark Levin, etc.

McCain vs Biden. Hoo ya!

Not necessarily. Unless DemonRat party rules require it. More likely the DNC would pick a "more suitable" candidate, should The Messiah become untenable, or withdraw (like that going to happen..NOT). Remember this whole party and party candidate selection is aconstitutional, and in many respect alegal as well. The parties are free to nominate whomever they wish, at least up to the filing deadline in the individual states. Even after then, should the Anointed One be removed in disgrace, the electors pledged to him could just vote for the New Anointed One..say Hillary perhaps? Biden might find himself VP candidate with her Thighness, if he's lucky. If he's not he could be replaced as well, under some pretext or other, with one of Hillary's cronies.

Put in Breaking News?

ABSOLUTELY

[ml/nj]

Obama was just trying to make sure he has more "foreign policy" experience than Palin does.

Excellent !

The McPalin team is handling this deftly, imho.

Very glad to see they've not let it slide !

[teletech]

Looks like Obamama stepped in it BIGTIME and he won't be able to get this off his shoes anytime soon. He is delusional and thinks HE is the President.
