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."

Yep, the liberal media will give this story a blackout.

Wow. How fantastic was that coverage today on such a corrupt politician as this? I can’t BELIEVE Palin has a tanning machine!!!
In other news, there was zero coverage on the candidate who IMHO committed an act of treason in order to further his political goals.
But thank goodness we know about that tanning machine, huh?

0-Bama and/or his minions will say it’s a right-wing, racist smear and the Obamedia will never mention it.
The DJIA is tanking in correlation with 0-bama’s poll numbers going up.
People know he will be a disaster and are thus cashing out and getting the hell out because they know his economic policies will bankrupt our country.
