Obama tries to stall Iraqi troop withdrawal

Isn't that special. A candidate for the Presidency went out and tried to steer foreign policy in order to help him look better to those who want us out of Iraq.

The more I hear about the underhanded Obama BS the more I know he is NOT about change at all. Hope? Sure he's about hope because we either hope he is not elected or hope in 4 years there will be an economy left after his reign.

Wonderful! That shows that he's more into what will make him look good then what is best for the Country.

Lets all pray he doesn't get elected though I'm about 85% sure he will be.

Obama is a fraud and a hack.

Sure, bring in the 9% approval crew to chew up valuable time.

His base wants the troops out yesterday. Alienate them more, please.

We're sure it'll all be the fault of GWB anyways..

I won't hold my breath in anticipation of this news airing on MSNBC.

[AZhitman]

He's also hoping (against hope) that the economy tanks, so he can get some of his precious attention back.

It must be KILLING him that he's not the "media darling" over the past couple weeks.

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.

Read 'em and weep, Obamallamas - Your charlatan is runnin' around buckass-nekkid.

What a pathetic fool, trying to take credit for something he hasn't done.

care to explain what you consider to be best for the country? just curious

[AZhitman]

Doesn't matter - This is HUGE news.

So much for "get us out of Iraq" NOW.

More like, "Get us out of Iraq when I can get credit for it."

Well, in my opinion the sooner we are out of Iraq the better so trying to slow down that process isn't good for the Country.

Well that makes two of us...but at least he is still willing to withdraw the troops and have a plan to do that, while mccain on the other hand doesn't care too much about withdrawal? right? well what you said earlier about obama trying to make himself look good instead of doing whats best for the country? um...didn't mccain just do that...i mean picking palin for vp, imo if i were running, i would pick someone who had more than 20 months of experience as a politician

after seeing whats happened in the past 8 years, i have decided to move to canada, i heard that they have free education and healthcare!!!...or is that just a myth

Just FYI you're gonna get some pretty good flames thrown at you at the rate you're going here.

Don't even get the free Health Care thing goin here, there are already other threads devoted to it.

McCain doesn't want have all the effort we've put in over there flushed down the toilet by an immediate withdrawal, but again, there are already threads devoted to that topic so I'll stop there.

Yes, it does appear (if this story is correct) that Obama wants to make himself look good instead of hurrying up the process of getting the troops out of Iraq. He's willing to do it as long as he can have the credit for it.

Don't start down the Experience road, there are also other threads dedicated to that topic.

I'm wondering if you are just trolling or if you post is sincere? Sheesh. . .

[S13_love]

just trolling i guess (sorry i dont speak...internet? what does trolling mean exactly)

[audtatious]

Patreus has already stated there will be withdrawals and the hated BUSH is letting the leaders on the ground work out the time table based on what is actually happening instead of using it as some political ploy. Obama, knowing a large part of his campaign is concerning him being the savior and initiating a pullout plan when elected, is wanting to get the Iraqi Gov to stall having troops pulled because it takes some of the cards off the table in his campaign.

Bush never had a plan for withdrawal, says Obama......Yes he did, it relied on the generals to make the decision as to what/when/where based upon what is really happening......

Obama's plan is to pull them out......Of course, his pullout plan is the exact same thing that is happening today. At the worse case he would simply ignore those who are winning the war and stabilizing Iraq, in order to make brownie points with the anti-war movement, and force a pullout before we are ready. You know, cuz Obama knows the military better than our own generals.

[audtatious]

Since this is a violation of our Constitution, can we just go ahead and charge Obama with it? Time to pin a tail on a donkey.

“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.” —Randy Scheunemann, Senior Adviser McCain-Palin 2008

I concur 100%

[dusred]

This thread seems to be absent of any Lib's. . . I wonder why?

[ishkabibble]

Well, for one reason, I don't support Obama, and it goes without saying that, if this is true, it's indefensible.

Looks to be right along the lines of the "connies" trying (and failing, as usual) to time the 9/11 trials to be right before the elections, and their "no timetables" position.

Both sides will do whatever it takes to be in power. Change, Hope, Straight Talk, Maverick... nope, Lies are what both sides are all about these days.

[audtatious]

Cuz he did what he did and they have pretty much admitted it at this point. Not much more to be thought about other than some other topic?

[AZhitman]

Indefensible indeed.

Now, here's my question:

WHERE IS THE DAMN MEDIA???

Freakin' pathetic. I'm disgusted by the whole deal. Gonna go punch a journalist, maybe I'll feel better.

[audtatious]

If it was McCain the Dems and MSM would be screaming to prosecute him for a Logan Act violation.

Of course, Obama get's a pass as he's just trying to fix a "mess" as he's almost President anyway

[AZhitman]

More commentary on his "excuses" for tampering.

This is the kind of guy you want in charge?

Hell, I don't care if J-Mac IS older, less intelligent, and doesn't use a computer - At least he's not selling out our brave troops for a few votes.

[audtatious]

They don't care. They simply want any democrat in office regardless of his lies and hidden past. It's pretty sad.
