The Obama campaign spent more than five hours on Monday attempting to figure out the best refutation of the explosive New York Post report that quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying that Barack Obama during his July visit to Baghdad demanded that Iraq not negotiate with the Bush Administration on the withdrawal of American troops. Instead, he asked that they delay such negotiations until after the presidential handover at the end of January.
The three problems, according to campaign sources: The report was true, there were at least three other people in the room with Obama and Zebari to confirm the conversation, and there was concern that there were enough aggressive reporters based in Baghdad with the sources to confirm the conversation that to deny the comments would create a bigger problem.

Time for a special prosecutor to be selected to investigate Hussein 0bama’s crimes.
We got us a LIVE one here my friends.... This NEEDS to be a HOT topic of the day along with McCain trying to reform Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac BEFORE it could just crenel the rest of the market. Well, now the crenelling has begun, and its about to get real bad.
Time for a DoJ special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate Hussein 0bama’s crimes. And Biden’s potential complicity, for that matter.
Barack Obama...demanded that Iraq not negotiate...Oh yea, that was back when he was already prematurely president.
PLEASE put this in BREAKING so that this story finally goes somewhere!!!
ping

BREAKING please. This story NEEDS to be broken.
Send the Kenyan back to Illinois. Or better yet, a Federal penitentiary.
Interesting read.
BTTT
Will I have to wait 24 business hours to see him frog-marched?
I expect the major news outlets to cover this story sometime on November 6th probably on the fifth page half way down in the classified section.
Calling a 4 star general and a member of a foreign nation ( of which we are guests in their country) a liar is not a good way to build rapport.
Obama- Hollywood Rockstar- is more arrogant than Clinton, Gore, Kerry , Edwards and Biden put together...and extremely dangerous!
God save America.
God bless America.
I saw Dan Senior on “FOX and Friends” talking about this story several days ago. The hosts were asking if the Iraqi minister was a reliable source. Mr. Senior's reply, “Absolutely. He's a stand up guy.” I believe this story, too. Obama’s hubris was at its height, if you recall. He was, and IS, more than capable of “demanding” such a thing!
Nothing to see here. A pregnant teenager is news, treason is not.
Anyone know any addresses where this story can be forwarded? We need to make sure this story isn’t buried per usual by our media.
Send the Kenyan back to Illinois. Or better yet, a Federal penitentiary.
take a look at my user profile
This is just a taste of how the foreign leaders 0bama is so eager to negotiate with sans preconditions will turn on him in a heartbeat. This ingenue thinks blatant treason will earn him the respect and ongoing loyalty of our enemies. Barry, you knew Zebari was a snake when you picked him up. Or did you?
Treasonous in my book.
A 527 needs to put a hard-hitting ad out on there on this subject!
The Iraqi leaders don’t like Biden at all, and are now skeptical of Obama since he picked Biden as a running mate.
Zabari is usually pretty reliable.
For that list alone you go down in my extremely valuable poster list.
Thanks!
i can sight numerous examples in the last couple of years where the dems have gladly put Americans in harm's way for possible political gain.
personally, i see this as (borderline) treasonous
The NY Post story from the 15th, which this article references, and was first posted here on that date:
~~~~~
Obama Tried to Stall GIS’ Iraq Withdrawal

It IS in breaking. Look.

It’s confirmed by the Iraqi Foreign Minister:
“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.”
~~~
What is treason, if not this?
WOW! LOL!
Let your friends know what he is up to.
No, I think Zebari knew Obama was a snake when he showed up there and starting sticking his nose where it didn't belong.
That’s amazing.
If true...this could be big...
pingarooni!
This story has been out for several days and so far the media hasn’t reported it. Its just gotten crazy how they absolutely refuse to cover anything on Obama. Its deliberate, no doubt about it. I kind of thought some news people who I have so far respected would cover this, like Brit Hume or Shawn Hannity. I think they have been muzzled.
24 Business Hours!
Damn, that was hilarious. Their story changed faster then Obama’s stance on issues.
"Uh, uh, muh,, uh uh, Iraqis.. uh.. uh.. can't, uh, keep secrets?"
CORRECT!
Culture lesson of the Day: Never, ever tell an Iraqi in a position of power anything you don't want made public.
Chicago politics is flag football compared to what goes on here in Baghdad. You don't walk in their house with limp wristed whining and zero credibility, and expect to scare people. President Bush has a hard enough time keeping these guys in line, and he put the last leader of Iraq in the dirt.
constantly being on the air saying how we are leaving in 2 weeks made the iraqis nervous.. just when we needed them to point out the iranians and AQ types in their towns. (you'd never help the Americans, since if you did.. and we left.. the bad guys would be back a week after we left to kill your whole family).
the dems knew everyone in the middle east was watching via satellite. they just wanted to make sure the situation didn't get better before the election.
this meant that they took action to keep our guys (my friends) in harms way longer then necessary. that has pissed me off something fierce.
oh, and don't get me started on katrina and how the Bush admin was forced to get involved so the dems would have something to blame him for. 20,000 people (that's all) deliberately left in harms way.. instead of driving them out on the 500 buses that were a mile away... all for political gain.
definitely treasonous by any definition i am aware of
thanks, bfl
Treason, pure and simple. This piece of rubbish is a TRAITOR.
Email some of these people. Seriously. So few people actually do.
How many people do you think email George Will in a day, for instance? Yes, he’s a more moderate voice, but I often find I hear back from the bigger lesser-knowns.
Has Rush or any other talk show host talked about this?
Try this:
E-mail President Bush, link to -- http://www.whitehouse.gov/webmail
Great post.
I heard parts of Jim Vicevich (WTIC, Hartford, CT), Rush, Hannity, Howie Carr (WRKO, Boston) and Mark Levin on Tuesday, and I didn't hear a thing about this... hope this story has legs soon...
Thanks for the heads up... I’ll ping my list.
