OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL [election is over?]
New York Post ^ | 09/15/08 | AMIR TAHERI

Posted on 09/15/2008 2:03:51 AM PDT by Enchante

WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.

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.

Obama insisted that Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of US troops - and that it was in the interests of both sides not to have an agreement negotiated by the Bush administration in its "state of weakness and political confusion."

Barack Hussein Obama CANNOT re-negotiate or interfere with a STANDING AGREEMENT which is what he did in Iraq. He didn’t have the authority!!!!!!!!! IMO, the President won’t touch this at all. Dubya doesn’t look well lately. He looks like he’s low on iron or something. Congress won’t touch it. I guess the alternate media and us will have to handle this before the election.

It is clear from your post and Barry’s speeches that he hates capitalism. It’s still the best system there is but a president who hates capitalism? Perish the thought.

Obama :”the Bush administration excluded from the negotiations, given its “state of weakness and political confusion.””

Don't you get it? When BO went on his victory tour, in his warped mind, he believed he was already ruler of earth. His greeting in Berlin, citizens of the world, people of Berlin (something like that), he failed to mentioned citizens of the United States.

That omission said it all. He hates this country. It's just a stepping stone for him to take power but he really hates it. His wife imo hates this country AGAIN and couldn't keep up the act any more so she went bk to Illinois.

I looked up the Logan Act because I wasn’t up on what it said.....NO ONE has EVER been prosecuted under this act.
It’s another one of those government jokes to keep the peasants pacified.

Just saw on F&F this morning, Brian asked Obama spokesman Bill Burton about this. Burton said it was completely false, a total fabrication.

“Michele’s ABSENT. Why doesn’t the media talk about that?????? “

Also, has the left wing MSM ever really said anything about Michele’s parents. The absence of any news about her parents raises suspicions about her parents.

Why hasn’t the MSM vetted Michele’s long time relationship with the Black Racist, Je$$ie HiJack$on, his daughter. Je$$ie is the poster lad for Community Organizers along with Al $harpton.

Last but not least, why hasn’t the MSM vetted Michelle’s relationship with Louis Farrakan’s wife?

Never heard much about this in the media, except for a small mention by Rush. Is it going anywhere?

If Obama’s mouthpiece Burton says it is a complete fabrication then he is calling the Iraqi Foreign Minister a liar .... How’s that for ‘new politics’ and ‘change’???

Playing catch up.

Nothing that Obama does, surprises me.

There is no limit to his plans or actions.

Yeah, I, too, saw the 'lovely lady' give O'Reilly the rundown on what everyone's REALLY saying!

Why’s O’Reilly in the tank for Barry?

I guess he wants to pay that 50% tax on his income, huh?

He courted Obama for over a year to come on his show & I guess the honeymoon is not over for him!

It’s pretty disgusting.

Totally! Ugh!

You have to ask? The only way the media will break any negative news about the Obamas is if they are forced to. In other words, after the internet breaks the story and it's been around for three or four weeks.

Michelle admits she grew up in Jesse Jackson house; Obamas seek advice from him [frequently]

This iss all but certainly a violation of the Logan Act; however, it is all but certain that nobody will do anything about it.

"My position is about the same as George Bush's at this point." -- Senate candidate Barack Obama to the Chicago Sun Times in 2004.

I was wondering the same. All is quiet on this today. Calm before the storm or dying on the vine?
