McCain Camp Throws-Down In The MSM’s Face About Hussein’s Reported Undermining In Iraq

At this point, it is not yet clear what official American negotiations Senator Obama tried to undermine with Iraqi leaders, but the possibility of such actions is unprecedented.
It should be concerning to all that he reportedly urged that the democratically-elected Iraqi government listen to him rather than the US administration in power.
If news reports are accurate, this is an egregious act of political interference by a presidential candidate seeking political advantage overseas.
Senator Obama needs to reveal what he said to Iraq’s Foreign Minister during their closed door meeting.
The charge that he sought to delay the withdrawal of Americans from Iraq raises serious questions about Senator Obama’s judgment and it demands an explanation.

Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
THIS IS A SERIOUS CHARGE…
September 15th, 2008 at 8:05 pmThis is not something that can be ignored. This must be answered for.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:08 pmI am glad he appears to have a sack when it comes to campaigning. This kind of shit was overlooked by the Bush administration, hopefully not by McCain. He found his stride and is comfortable calling it as he sees it. I like it a lot, I do not have to agree with him 100% to fully support him.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:13 pmWill the MSM report this? They had better fucking repot it!
September 15th, 2008 at 8:13 pmThis prick is slicker than Teflon Willy. When you have the MSM behind you, you can do no wrong.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:27 pmmaybe the final nail in the coffin
September 15th, 2008 at 8:27 pmI garan-damn-tee nothing will happen to him. The forces of evil will always cover for their guy.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:29 pmThat means Petraus was betrayed? Where’s the New York Times, oh, I forgot, in Obama’s back pocket.
September 15th, 2008 at 8:40 pmThis will be played off in the MSM.
You’ll never hear about it. I just watched The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson, which I really like, usually, but he is just like all the rest of them. 10 McCain/Palin jokes in the first 10 minutes, I counted. only one about Obama trying to delay the withdrawl but it was only a segway to say Palin’s daughter’s boyfriend also believes in a delayed withdrawl…….
I just can’t watch TV anymore, It makes me hate everyone I used to like. I actually liked Matt Damon as an actor and now I hate him. There is such a double standard, I’m sick of fighting it on blogs and comments pages. When does the real war begin?
I mean, when you have such a divided country with NO middle ground, what is the alternative if we are to continue being a country?
September 15th, 2008 at 8:55 pmWTF???!!! Hussein needs to pay the price for this one. Dare I say “Traitor”?
September 15th, 2008 at 8:57 pmthat just shows he cares nothing about the troops. he wants us out, but not until he is in office. isnt that hypocritical. he says repubs want us to stay forever but he is going to say that we need to stay longer than planned so he can pull us out.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:02 pmCan you turn this into a thread? I think it’s that important to keep it posted as long as possible with updates. If the blog is getting one million hits a month (?), we need to allow as much time possible to get the word out.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:27 pmGet out and participant in your community … get out the vote for McCain/Palin. We don’t need that young whippersnapper in the WH. I’m getting a bumper sticker … “Bibles, Gun, and Geritol”!!
My father passed away this year at 88, but when he was 85 I made him a ‘computer handbook’ with pictures so he could use my computer. (He always wanted to go to Rush Limbaugh’s website). I sure miss him … WWII Vet, married 63 years to my mother, and the best father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:34 pmIf the Feds and the media don’t follow up on this, they need to be replaced.
And I agree with billie: we need to stay on top of this story.
September 15th, 2008 at 9:41 pmIf this can be proved, and we will find the “rat”, it has to be brought out. Wouldn’t this be illegal as well as immoral and treacherous?

Bambi has alot a splainin ta do.
Keep at em MAC!
September 15th, 2008 at 10:12 pmtyler rock!! I remember your ass from the Bangor days. Williams from RTT. 2nd squad. How the hell are you. Nice comment about little Harry dickface Reid from way back. And I agrre with you on this one for sure.
September 15th, 2008 at 10:56 pmAt least it’s out via the NYPOST, maybe this will get the ball rolling!

CNN Reporters: Obama “Presumptuous” & Negotiations Overstep His Authority as a Senator
Last night on Anderson Cooper 360, two CNN political analysts charged that Senator Obama overstepped his authority as a United States Senator in acting as a negotiator with the Iraqi government and publicly disclosing statements made during those interviews.
During an interview with Anderson Cooper, David Gergen, CNN’s Senior Political Analyst stated,
“Barack Obama made the first mistake of his trip, in my judgment, in releasing a statement in which he said exactly what Maliki had said in those conversations.
We have a long tradition in this country that we only have one president at a time. He’s the commander in chief and the negotiator in chief. I cannot remember a campaign which a rival seeking the presidency has been in a position negotiating a war that’s under way with another party outside the country.
I think he leaves himself open to the charge tonight that he’s meddling, that this is not his role, that he can be the critic, but he’s not the negotiator. We have a president who does that. So, I think the underlying facts support him, but I think it would be a real mistake — and I think it was a mistake — to get into these conversations and let it be used politically. “
Gergens comments were later echoed by a second CNN Analyst, Gloria Borger, who charged,
“I do agree with David. And Candy, in her earlier piece, talked about walking the fine line between being this candidate and being presumptuous. And I think that he may just have crossed that, because, you know, it is a tradition. You don’t talk about these private conversations. And it’s not up to Barack Obama right now to negotiate troop withdrawals. It’s up to Barack Obama to be on a fact-finding mission, which is indeed what he has said he was on. “
September 16th, 2008 at 12:21 amAfter all, he received his political training in Chicago!
September 16th, 2008 at 2:52 amI never like Matt Damon. I guess I could spot a piece of shit a mile away. I loved saving private ryan upto the point where Matt Douche-Bag shows up than the movie is all down hill (I did miss the begin of the film).
Bush needs to appoint an investigator for this. If he doesnt he is scakless. Of course the Obama media will go nuts, but it will bring the situation to the headlines. Those doofus’ cant hide a scandal from the front page.

September 16th, 2008 at 4:06 amSo does this break the law? I know there’s an act about situations like these. Plus, he was undermining US Interests during time of War. If that’s not treason nothing is. Charge him and Hang him [the noose is still the punishment for treason right?

September 16th, 2008 at 4:13 amThe McCain team thinks that this would have legs and are pushing a little. I would think that this would be a great topic for a major speech by the McCain team.
September 16th, 2008 at 4:29 amObama’s credibility is dropping by the day, this could have a great effect immediately with many conservative Democrats.
If this is the kind of tactics he pulls as a candidate imagine the creative bs he would come up with as CIC. North America’s first dictator.
September 16th, 2008 at 4:39 amThis story enrages me to a point where I don’t want to go. This piece of human detritus must be stopped at all costs. At this point, I don’t care if the voting machines are rigged. This turd has to be consigned to the dustbin of history. IN NOVEMBER. As crappy as McCain is, at least he hasn’t betrayed us…YET.

This could bring down Obama.
