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."

“Correct, but Burka-Nancy, Turbin-Durbin, and Osama-Obama should have their passports pulled for the reasons detailed on page 6 of your US Passport. They should also be tried for treason.”
I totally agree. I’m just suggesting that they already got away with it
Imagine if in 1980, before the election, it came out that the Reagan campaign was urging the Iranians to hold on to the American hostages until after the election—do you imagine that the media would have treated that as not newsworthy?
THIS WONT EVER BE HEARD BY THE AMERICAN PUBLIC, COUNT ON IT.
I guess only the Freepers who visit the Daily Dose thread even knew that Talabani was in the US.

On the eve of the seventh anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, President Bush met with Iraqi President Jalal Talabani in the Oval Office of the White House. (Transcript)
President Talabani: I think it’s clear that we are in Iraq looking to you as a hero of liberation of Iraq from worst kind of dictatorship … we will never forget what you have done for our people.

You forgot to mention that Ferraro also pointed out that Jesus was not an organizer but a “Teacher”
It is also interesting that Obama gets caught engaging the very thing that the left falsely accused Reagan of doing in October 1980:
Remember Ronald Reagan's October Surprise? It Never Happened.
By Daniel Pipes | 3-29-04
The October Surprise conspiracy theory holds that in October 1980, Ronald Reagan conspired with the Islamic Republic of Iran to beat Jimmy Carter in the U.S. presidential elections on 4 November . The deal: in return for the Khomeini government keeping its U.S. hostages at the U.S. embassy in Tehran until after the election, damaging the Carter's candidacy, Reagan would reward it with armaments. The conspiracy theory endured for over a decade, from 1980-93, but has since disappeared.
The idea originated with Lyndon LaRouche, one of the most prolific, original, and bizarre of U.S. conspiracy theorists. Just after the 1980 election, one LaRouche magazine ( Executive Intelligence Review , 2 December 1980) first laid out the conspiracy theory, then another one repeated it three years later ( New Solidarity , 2 September 1983). The idea attracted minimal attention, however, until the Iran-Contra scandal of late 1986 seemed to fulfill the terms of the alleged deal.
[...]
Two congressional inquiries then confirmed these conclusions. The Senate stated that "by any standard, the credible evidence now known falls far short of supporting the allegation of an agreement between the Reagan campaign and Iran to delay the release of the hostages" (Committee on Foreign Relations 1992, 115). The House report went further, declaring that "There was no October Surprise agreement ever reached." It found "wholly insufficient credible evidence" that communication took place between the Reagan campaign and the Iranian government and "no credible evidence" of an attempt by the campaign to delay the hostages' release. The report also expressed concern that "certain witnesses may have committed perjury during sworn testimony" (Committee of the Whole House on the State of the Union 53; 7-8; 239).
Yes, she did...thanks.
Call your US Senators and US Rep and raise Hell about this, whether Republican or Democrat. The RATS need incentive to learn that Obama is radioactive to them politically, and the Republicans always need reminders to act like they have some cajones.
>>>>Imagine if in 1980, before the election, it came out that the Reagan campaign was urging the Iranians to hold on to the American hostages until after the election—
????
Ronald Reagan and Bush Sr. were ACCUSED of insisting the Iranians keep the American Hostages until after the Election in the 1980 campaign.
Maybe his new name should be Obozo?

On Drudge, NRO, discussed twice this morning on F & F...it was simmering..let’s hope by the end of the week it’s a rolling boil.
!!!! (I was in my cradle at the time.)
Obama supporters are wiht him no matter what.
The major benefit of all this is to highlight his hypocricy and irritate the anti-war nuts who think Obama has waffled on this issue. You can attack the turnout of his base in addition to picking up some swing voters.
Hope Rush and Hannity hit this coming out of the box today!
