The Obama campaign spent more than five hours on Monday attempting to figure out the best refutation of the explosive New York Post report that quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying that Barack Obama during his July visit to Baghdad demanded that Iraq not negotiate with the Bush Administration on the withdrawal of American troops. Instead, he asked that they delay such negotiations until after the presidential handover at the end of January.
The three problems, according to campaign sources: The report was true, there were at least three other people in the room with Obama and Zebari to confirm the conversation, and there was concern that there were enough aggressive reporters based in Baghdad with the sources to confirm the conversation that to deny the comments would create a bigger problem.

Nothing to see here. A pregnant teenager is news, treason is not.
Anyone know any addresses where this story can be forwarded? We need to make sure this story isn’t buried per usual by our media.
Send the Kenyan back to Illinois. Or better yet, a Federal penitentiary.
take a look at my user profile
This is just a taste of how the foreign leaders 0bama is so eager to negotiate with sans preconditions will turn on him in a heartbeat. This ingenue thinks blatant treason will earn him the respect and ongoing loyalty of our enemies. Barry, you knew Zebari was a snake when you picked him up. Or did you?
Treasonous in my book.
A 527 needs to put a hard-hitting ad out on there on this subject!
The Iraqi leaders don’t like Biden at all, and are now skeptical of Obama since he picked Biden as a running mate.
Zabari is usually pretty reliable.
For that list alone you go down in my extremely valuable poster list.
Thanks!
i can sight numerous examples in the last couple of years where the dems have gladly put Americans in harm's way for possible political gain.
personally, i see this as (borderline) treasonous
The NY Post story from the 15th, which this article references, and was first posted here on that date:

It IS in breaking. Look.

It’s confirmed by the Iraqi Foreign Minister:
“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.”
~~~
What is treason, if not this?
WOW! LOL!
Let your friends know what he is up to.
No, I think Zebari knew Obama was a snake when he showed up there and starting sticking his nose where it didn't belong.
That’s amazing.
If true...this could be big...
pingarooni!
This story has been out for several days and so far the media hasn’t reported it. Its just gotten crazy how they absolutely refuse to cover anything on Obama. Its deliberate, no doubt about it. I kind of thought some news people who I have so far respected would cover this, like Brit Hume or Shawn Hannity. I think they have been muzzled.
24 Business Hours!
Damn, that was hilarious. Their story changed faster then Obama’s stance on issues.
