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.

"Uh, uh, muh,, uh uh, Iraqis.. uh.. uh.. can't, uh, keep secrets?"
CORRECT!
Culture lesson of the Day: Never, ever tell an Iraqi in a position of power anything you don't want made public.
Chicago politics is flag football compared to what goes on here in Baghdad. You don't walk in their house with limp wristed whining and zero credibility, and expect to scare people. President Bush has a hard enough time keeping these guys in line, and he put the last leader of Iraq in the dirt.
constantly being on the air saying how we are leaving in 2 weeks made the iraqis nervous.. just when we needed them to point out the iranians and AQ types in their towns. (you'd never help the Americans, since if you did.. and we left.. the bad guys would be back a week after we left to kill your whole family).
the dems knew everyone in the middle east was watching via satellite. they just wanted to make sure the situation didn't get better before the election.
this meant that they took action to keep our guys (my friends) in harms way longer then necessary. that has pissed me off something fierce.
oh, and don't get me started on katrina and how the Bush admin was forced to get involved so the dems would have something to blame him for. 20,000 people (that's all) deliberately left in harms way.. instead of driving them out on the 500 buses that were a mile away... all for political gain.
definitely treasonous by any definition i am aware of
thanks, bfl
Treason, pure and simple. This piece of rubbish is a TRAITOR.
Email some of these people. Seriously. So few people actually do.
How many people do you think email George Will in a day, for instance? Yes, he’s a more moderate voice, but I often find I hear back from the bigger lesser-knowns.
Has Rush or any other talk show host talked about this?
Try this:
E-mail President Bush, link to -- http://www.whitehouse.gov/webmail
Great post.
I heard parts of Jim Vicevich (WTIC, Hartford, CT), Rush, Hannity, Howie Carr (WRKO, Boston) and Mark Levin on Tuesday, and I didn't hear a thing about this... hope this story has legs soon...
Thanks for the heads up... I’ll ping my list.

Thanks, I actually stole that list from the losers at DU. It hasn’t been updated in forever though. So you might find a few expired e-mmail addresses. Bt most of them are still good.

The current stability in the Iraqi government is a working balance of power established between factions who used power tools to drill holes in the heads of each others supporters, and dump their naked bodies in the street.
Consider this Barry's introduction to Baghdad politics.
As to your point, no doubt Barry can expect the same mistreatment at the hands of Putin and Ahmedinejad. A expanding, vaporous bubble of diplomacy, spin, and rhetoric on our side, punctured by the occasional kneecapping from the other side.
It’s true and it’s also a ho hum for the msm
There was talk of it at the time. I’m sure there are articles aplenty written during his trip which mention it. I certainly remember hearing something of the sort then and thinking where does he get of interfering in foreign affairs.
I was very disappointed in Brit and the panel last night talking about troopergate. While it was noted the guy certainly deserved to be fired it seemed like Brit was hung up on the whole “seriousness of the charge” crap, instead of informing the public on the facts like first off, that she didn’t fire him.
Excellent, Phil!

I e-mailed my Senators. The Senate should censure BHO.
