This week, New York Post columnist Amir Taheri made the claim that while in Iraq this summer, Barack Obama privately tried to convince Iraqi leaders to wait until a new administration is in place before beginning a draw-down of American troops.

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.

Will Charlie Gibson ask Barack Obama what he talked about with the foreign heads of state he’s met?

Yes, but this is just treason costing the lives of our military men.. What is really important is that Palin bought a tanning bed.

Hmm. Seems to me to be a series charge. I think it needs to be investigated because its so series even if there is no truth to the accusation.

Logan act:

any attempt of a US citizen to conduct foreign relations without authority.

BHO is not a citizen therefore the Logan act does not apply.

Where is the outrage over the lack of the mainstream media not reporting on this? Manipulation of troop withdrawal for political gain would be front page news if this was a Republican candidate. The American people need to know this information about someone who could potentially be running this country.

THE CORRUPTION OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA IS APPPALING. Contact all that you can and demand that there needs to be reporting done on this subject. The right needs to stop being silent.

I got this email this morning and thought I would share with all of you..

The anti-Christ... Could he be?

This will make you re-think:
How long is the beast allowed to have authority in Revelation. Revelations Chapter 13 tells us it is 42 months,and you know what that is.
Almost a four-year term of a Presidency.

All I can say is ‘Lord, Have mercy on us!’
According to The Book of Revelations the anti-Christ is: The anti-Christ will
Be a man, in his 40’s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with Persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal. the prophecy says That people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace,And when he is in power, will destroy everything..
Do we recognize this description??

I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to post this as many times as You can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet. do it!
I refuse to take a chance on this unknown candidate who came out of nowhere.

As I was listening to a news program last night, I watched in horror as Barack Obama made the statement with pride. . .’we are no longer a Christian nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, . . .’As with so many other statements I’ve heard him (and his wife) make, I never thought I’d see the day that I’d hear something like that from a presidential candidate in this nation. To think our forefathers fought and died for the right for our nation to be a Christian nation —and to have this man say with pride that we are no longer that. How far this nation has come from what our founding fathers intended it to be.

I hope that each of you will do what I’m doing now—send your concerns, written simply and sincerely, to the Christians on your email list. With God’s help, and He is still in control of this nation and all else, we can show this man and the world in November that we are, indeed, still a Christian nation!
Please pray for our nation!

This is eerily reminiscent of the 'October Surprise' engineered by George Sr. to keep the Iranian hostages held until after Reagan's inauguration. It's well documented, Read The Article at Democrat Down

The word anti- Christ in not even in the book of Revelation.
The only place you find the word antichrist is in 1st John and 2 John. An antichrist is someone who denies Christ is Lord...

Although expected, this is getting very little coverage. Rush, Hannity, Laura Ingrahm, etc.. need to make sure this does not get buried. Could be the calm before the storm, hope it is not dying on the vine.

To: just me
In Christian eschatology, the Antichrist or anti-Christ means a person, office, or group recognized as fulfilling the Biblical prophecies about one who will oppose Christ and substitute himself in Christ's place. 'Antichrist' is translated from the combination of two ancient Greek words αντί + Χριστός (anti + Christos). In Greek, Χριστός means “anointed one” and Christians apply it to Jesus of Nazareth.[1] αντί means not only anti in the sense of “against” and “opposite of”, but also “in place of".[2] Therefore, an antichrist opposes Christ by substituting himself for Christ. The term itself appears 5 times in 1 John and 2 John of the New Testament — once in plural form and four times in the singular - and is popularly associated with the belief of a competing and assumed evil entity opposed to Jesus of Nazareth.[3] There is no explicit mention of the Antichrist in Revelation, but it is not uncommon to find the second Beast who is mentioned in Revelation 13:11-8 referred to as the Antichrist. The magician Aleister Crowley believed himself to be the first Beast foretold by St. John, and seems to have thought that his magical child would be the second Beast and the Antichrist, who would realize Crowley's vision of the Aeon of Horus in fire and blood -- a prophecy that some believe is presently unfolding as the Age of Aquarius dawns. The second Beast has the two horns of a lamb and speaks with the voice of a dragon. He is able to use the power of the first Beast to draw fire down from the heaven and to perform wonders, so that "the earth and them which dwell therein" worship the first Beast and erect an image to the first Beast. By the agency of the second Beast, the image of the first Beast is given life. The image then puts to death everyone who will not worship it, and causes a mysterious mark to be inscribed on every person's right hand or forehead. This mark is usually understood to be the number 666. However, in Revelation three identifiers of the first Beast are mentioned: his mark, his name, and the number of his name (see Revelation 13:17).

Lets not wait to see if Rush, Hannity, etc. are going to report on this. We can't just sit on our hands and then say we should have done more if Obama gets elected. Flood the email boxes of all the media you can think of. Republican senators, congressmen, governors, etc. too. We are down to less than 50 days before the election and it's no time to be passive. Obama keeps getting a pass from the MSM.

TIME FOR US TO STOP BEING SILENT! Demand that reporting be done on this subject.
