Whose Side Is He On?
It seems like Senator ∅ has taken a crash course in order to gain foreign policy expertise. One minor problem. The course is crashing. The Obama campaign spent more than five hours on Monday attempting to figure out the best refutation of the explosive New York Post report that quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying that Barack Obama during his July visit to Baghdad demanded that Iraq not negotiate with the Bush Administration on the withdrawal of American troops. Instead, he asked that they delay such negotiations until after the presidential handover at the end of January.What a howler. Joe Biden a foreign policy expert. And Candidate ∅ calling for troop withdrawals in America and trying to delay them in Iraq. How about that New York Post article? 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.Well what do you know. The Iraqis would rather be running their own country instead of having a Junior Senator from Illinois running it. It is almost like they favor self government over foreign rule. I thought the lefties were saying that self government in the Middle East was impossible. I think the evidence points to the contrary. It appears it is rather robust and in fact so robust that they have rolled Senator ∅. Speaking of lefties. I appears that the Demthuglies are out in force on this issue. The real news I see in the Obama statement is that there may be an encouraging evolution in his position on Iraq: The "rebuttal" shows that the senator no longer shares his party leadership's belief that the United States has lost the war in Iraq.And that is not the only place the Demthuglies have been out in force. It seems they still don't like Milt Rosenberg. Rosenberg's producer, Zack Christenson, e-mailed National Review's Corner with this message:And just in case you were wondering about the book being discussed. Here it is with a link to Amazon so you can check it out. The Case Against Barack Obama: The Unlikely Rise and Unexamined Agenda of the Media's Favorite CandidateTonight, we have David Freddoso on our show discussing his new book. As we speak, thousands of Obama supporters are flooding our phone lines and e-mail boxes, just as they did for our show with Stanley Kurtz. An Obama Action Wire was sent out tonight to intimidate us into taking Freddoso off the air.I caught the last twenty minutes of Extension 720. I'll download the podcast as soon as it is available. In any case I seem to recall that this kind of political behavior was well known in history. So well known that it had a name. Storm something I think. H/T Just One Minute.
