Tahiri is good, but you’re right, if this gets attention Obama will engage in some sort of denial, and we don’t know how good a position we’re in. I.e., would Iraq’s foreign minister stick to his claim? Is there anyone else to back it up?
But it’s got to get coverage in order to force Obama to respond at all. As long as the source sticks to his guns, Obama would be in trouble anyway, as he doesn’t want to be caught in this sort of international bicker.
popcorn.. someone get me some popcorn NOW !! :)
It doesn’t matter if he engages in denial. What this will do is again put him on the defensive for a news cycle or two. Death by a million cuts. Of course, this cut could very well turn out to be a chainsaw slash. :-)
If McCain’s team doesn’t run ads on this, somebody should.
