Obama Tried To Stall Gis' Iraq Withdrawal

So this sort of "back door dealing" is what we should expect from Obama?






Quote:


OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL

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.

Re: Obama Tried To Stall Gis' Iraq Withdrawal

You mean the way Reagan convinced the Iranians to stall the release of the hostages until he was sworn in "AFTER" President Carter's team had already negotiated their release so that he would get the credit for achieving their release?

Some hero!

So, since you right wing pitbulls, with and without lipstick, adore Reagan's tactics as if he were the messiah, I assume you'll all now also adore Obama. And with your added support Democrats will thankfully take back the White House.

We who love our country and wish to put it back on the right track thank you!

Re: Obama Tried To Stall Gis' Iraq Withdrawal

This is 2008 and we are talking about Obama.


And your little stories are fantasy and speculation.

I'm wont to believe this, but I'll wait for a slightly more reputable source. If it's true, there will be more about it somewhere.

Re: Obama Tried To Stall Gis' Iraq Withdrawal

Obama better pray to Allah it's not true. This blogger raises an interesting point:

This is huge, folks. This is Logan Act type stuff. The Logan Act reads:

Any citizen of the United States, wherever he may be, who, without authority of the United States, directly or indirectly commences or carries on any correspondence or intercourse with any foreign government or any officer or agent thereof, with intent to influence the measures or conduct of any foreign government or of any officer or agent thereof, in relation to any disputes or controversies with the United States, or to defeat the measures of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

This section shall not abridge the right of a citizen to apply himself, or his agent, to any foreign government, or the agents thereof, for redress of any injury which he may have sustained from such government or any of its agents or subjects.

I just thought if I responded to your claim in the same manner that you right wingers respond to all complaints about McCain, by turning the tables and talking about the other side that you would appreciate the effort... since you would recognize the strategy.

No "little stories and especially no fantasies. Reagan intentionally kept our people in Iranian hands longer than they had to be. Bush has the same mindset and so does McCain. EVERYTHING is fair game as long as it is in line with their goal and in keeping with their motto... The ends justify the means! That's how we got into Iraq and we all know it!

This isn't a thread on Republicans or Ronald Reagan or The Iranian hostage release. This thread is about Obama trying to delay the withdrawal of American troops.

Please stay focused on the topic, or start your own thread on the Iranian hostage/Jimmy Carter presidential fiasco.

Re: Obama Tried To Stall Gis' Iraq Withdrawal

I guess that's what one might expect from a Chicago politician.
