Shocking charges have been made against Barack Hussein Obama – that the anti-Iraq war, “bring our troops home” Democrat presidential candidate actually negotiated with Iraqi officials to not bring US troops home until after the end of the Bush Administration, for his own political advantage.
Quoting the Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari in his NY Post columnist yesterday, Amir Taheri accused Obama of trying to get the Iraqis to end early US troop withdrawal talks and instead ask for a one-year extension. “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 is quoted as saying.
If the charges made are proven to be true, Barack Hussein Obama is in violation of The Logan Act, a federal law forbidding unauthorized citizens from negotiating with foreign governments. Punishment for breaking The Logan Act includes a fine and up to three years in prison, or both.
Obama’s national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi gave a rather unconvincing rebuttal today, saying. “In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a “Strategic Framework Agreement” governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office”, she said, which sounds very similar to the accusations made in the NY Post.
McCain campaign spokesman Randy Scheuneman commented on the scandal today in a press release: “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.”
