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.

Good initial response. Obama will cry foul, then McCain should follow up with charges. Uh, yeah.

They need to shove this issue right up Obama’s rear end.

Now the MSM will be harder pressed to keep ignoring it, as they must report the latest outrageous McCain attack.

Yes, this is a matter of National Security for political power and treasonous at the least. If this is true, he needs to not only be brought up on charges, but removed from office immediately.

McCain vs Biden. Hoo ya!

The Obama campaign will have to give a detailed statement on this in the next 24 hours.

When he does, that statement will be intensely scrutinized.

If the White House or the State Department is forced to comment on this, the fur will really start flying.

That is a sensible response from John McCain.

One of my biggest problems with Barack Hussein Obama is that he does not sound sensible when I hear him unfiltered and unedited. Sometimes he sounds like another left-wing kook. other times, he sounds like he is trying to sound smart, without succeeding. He's about as persuasive as Ted Kennedy. Their ACU ratings are about the same.

What a GREAT response, and OsamaObama is now totally on the Defensive with this statment hanging over his head. We cannot depend on the MSM to accurately portray the seriousness of this covert operation by The Messiah, but it should be trumpeted by GWB also, whereas the actions were CLEARLY interfering in a foreign country where American Troops are deployed and at risk.
