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."

At the very least, it’s grounds for having your passport pulled. See page 6 of your American passport.”

Well, Nancy Pelosi still has her passport, and was never charged with anything....

>>>because the MSM will NOT make it an issue

It is getting legs. I’m watching the Google crawl. It is getting picked up by other main stream sources.

“At least 40% of the US population would vote for him no matter what unfathomable action he did. They are called idiots, or Democrats.”

That is true, unfortunately.

The middle 10-20% will decide this election.

I just wonder about the people who havent decided by this point in time. The battle lines seems to be rather clear.
How can they still be “undecided”?

And you think Obama cares about what’s constitutional or not. Look at Bolivia and Venezuela to see how Leftist Extremists can shred, ignore or change a constitution of a country.

Obama suffers from severe delusion. His chance of winning the elections is ZERO.

Morning :) It’s pretty dicey, isn’t it? Glad Dan Senor gave some credibility to Hoshyar Zebari. One thing is for sure- this needs to be explored with more than one article.

(Oh- and this morning Obama is blaming the GOP for the Wall St disaster. He cannot be allowed to do this- the dems are the ones who wanted these kinds of insane mortgages to be offered to unqualified people.)

Before we posture 40% supporting anything the DNC does, let's finish purging our voter rolls of all the active citizens that are politically involved with birthdates going back to the 1800s.

We have found 100s of thousands in NJ. How many are in your state?

“Pelosi, Carter, Kerry, Obama and the list goes on. Because noone enforces the Logan Act!”

Can we add Kennedy and Jesse Jackson to that list?

The MSM will try to ignore it, but this should be a gigantic scandal that should cost Obama the election.

@@@@@

This thread should be the source for tracking when this information goes “wide.” Like a Live Thread.

This is amazing. Every Freeper should make sure that their own local talk show hosts are informed as soon as possible.
