Obama-Biden Reservations Confirmed [The story about Obama negotiating with the Iraqis was true]
The American Spectator ^

Posted on 09/16/2008 9:57:54 PM PDT by flyfree

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.

It doesn’t matter. We could get Barack on tape conspiring to keep US forces from catching Osama Bin Laden, and the media would still carry the water for him and ignore the reports. Heck, the guy could kill five people and admit to it, and no one in the mainstream media would even mention it on the evening news.

Obama shouldn't be in pin stipes - he should be in jail stripes!

This would be front page above the fold in every liberal newspaper if McCain had done it.

Bias is a form of bigotry.

What he did if more frightening when out in the context of his “King of the World” tour.

What did he say to other leaders he met with?

No, I believe Zabari is being truthful. 0bama underestimates how the leaders he seeks to negotiate with will always turn on him whenever it is in their best interests to do so. His naivete is dangerous. He seems to think anyone who is not a conservative patriotic American is automatically his ally. After all, the polls have told him so.
