Obama Tried to Disrupt U.S. Iraq Policy

The Obamessiah tried to disrupt negotiations between the Iraqi government and the United States regarding troop withdrawals:

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."

There are specific federal statutes against this kind of behavior, but don't look for any prosecutions or any outrage from the press. Had McCain tried something like this during his Iraq visit, there would be hell to pay.
