Barack Obama… Traitor?
Too strong? Okay, you tell me how you’d describe Barack Obama’s treacherous seditious community organizing behavior in Iraq (remembering that, despite appearances, he did not visit Iraq, Germany, etc. as President, but only as candidate for the office):
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.”
“However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open.” Zebari says.
Though Obama claims the US presence is “illegal,” he suddenly remembered that Americans troops were in Iraq within the legal framework of a UN mandate. His advice was that, rather than reach an accord with the “weakened Bush administration,” Iraq should seek an extension of the UN mandate.
While in Iraq, Obama also tried to persuade the US commanders, including Gen. David Petraeus, to suggest a “realistic withdrawal date.” They declined.
Obama has made many contradictory statements with regard to Iraq. His latest position is that US combat troops should be out by 2010. Yet his effort to delay an agreement would make that withdrawal deadline impossible to meet.
He’s not naive. He’s not misguided. He’s a cold, calculating schemer. Who wants to be commander-in-chief. God help us.

I am so over Iraq I don’t know what to do. I have tried like crazy to support George Bush and I know that getting rid of Saddam Hussein and his two sons straight out of “Psychopathia Sexualis” was definitely a net improvement in the world.
But today on Little Green Footballs ( http://tinyurl.com/67s2kz ), I read that some muckety-muck in the Iraqi government went to Israel for some conference on terrorism and now the government wants to prosecute him for consorting with the enemy. So screw Iraq. It doesn’t matter what we do, we have just set up another stinking Muslim pesthole that wants to wipe Israel off the map.

And, by the way, Obama should be arrested for what he did.
