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.

A very well worded response.

Glad to see they’re making an issue of this one.

Obama’s campaign says a campaign advisor was with him. Are any of those in the picture that advisor?

“The First Dude is a doll.”

“He’s Hot”!!

LOL..you know what else might be making a ‘come-back’ thanks to Sarah Palin and her super family from Alaska?

Respect for self reliance!! Praise Jesus!

“Obama’s campaign says a campaign advisor was with him. Are any of those in the picture that advisor?”

LMAO!! Obama has over 300 foreign policy ‘advisors’ alone!! Add that to the ‘official’ unofficial campaign ‘advisors’ and you have ‘palusible deniabilty’...LOL

Notice that the Obama Campaign would not name this advisor that denied the NYP article...yet the NYP has named it’s source: Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari.

[penelopesire]

Opps..spell check is a must...’plausible deniability’...

There...still didn’t spell check.

[DAC21]

“And McCain finally responds at dinner time?”

I suspect McCain’s Team was hooking up with sources to confirm this is how it went down.

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.

Was B Hussein Obama’s private stealth meeting with Zebari, in Arabic or English?

That sick scumbag Obama should be tried for treason and hung.

[penelopesire]

Just for the record:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plausible_deniability

“Plausible deniability refers to the denial of blame in loose and informal chains of command where upper rungs quarantine the blame to the lower rungs. In the case that illegal or otherwise disreputable and unpopular activities become public, high-ranking officials may deny any awareness of such act or any connection to the agents used to carry out such act.

In politics and espionage, deniability refers to the ability of a “powerful player” or actor to avoid “blowback” by secretly arranging for an action to be taken on their behalf by a third party—ostensibly unconnected with the major player. In political campaigns, plausible deniability enables candidates to stay “clean” and denounce ads that use unethical approaches or innuendo based on opposition research.”

Hmmmm....seems what we have here however..is the ‘powerful player’ being caught red handed....and his ‘lower rungs’ trying to cover for him...after the fact!!

[fanpd]

Was he advised by 'Allah'? Obama comes off as a Obama Bin Laden sympathizer.

[cake_crumb]

This has legs. Millipede legs.

[Skid Marx]

Good point. Besides the potato’s in Obama’s hands.You gotta see what they do with it before going on record. I don’t see a reason to rush here. Enjoy the show, that’s what I say.

[agrace]

NEVER, EVER, underestimate the stupidity that is associated with arrogance
