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.
You’re right. Much harder for the MSM to ignore now.
I hope Amer Taheri isn’t a goofball. From what I understand, he has been dubious in other ‘sources’.
I want a confirmation or denial from the Iraqi Defense Minister.
I sure hope they are interrogating the Iraqi leaders he spoke to.
McCain has an ad almost made. First are the statement made back in May (reported in NYT and others), quotes from the Iraqi Foreign Minister, then Obama’s response. A lot of play here. Obama (and the Democrat MSM) will spin this as having been out there for a while but what was out there was only Obama’s side of the conversation.
For a guy who isn’t supposed to know much about the internet, McCain is kicking Obama’s caboose all over the map on you-tube and other video or media productions. Perhaps it’s Obama that doesn’t know as much as he thought about the internet.
Thanks!
Glad you put in the /s tag. They can deny (or spin) it all they want. Until a counter response comes from the Iraqi government, they’re caught up in their lies. General David Petraeus has also been linked in earlier threads where he was approached by Obama. This could get very interesting.
I hope Obama keeps denying the story.
MODERATOR: Senator Obama, isn't it true you have much more experience than Governor Palin in illegal foreign negotiations which obstruct official policy for partisan advantage?SENATOR OBAMA: Why yes, Brit, it is a matter of record that I have much more--uh, uh, now wait a minute, wait, uh, that's, that's a trick question--isn't it--
Isn't it though? The tone is perfect. Kudos to whoever wrote it.
Yes, a megalomaniac. He’s certainly overstepped the boundaries this time.
LOL
BTTT
Obama just following in jon carry’s footsteps.
And you know this how...?
Obama Secretly Negotiates With Iraq to Cheat Troops Out Of Early Return Home
He’s delusional, yes, and all that, but what this really shows is dangerous inexperience on the worldwide diplomatic stage. He’s a dunce trying to play chess with grandmasters.
McCain to be on all the morning shows tomorrow.
Perfect timing for us.
Pray for our country.
McCain has been playing Obama like a cheap fiddle.
The last several news cycles have been dominated by Obama crying foul and you don't win elections by crying.
