Undermining McCain Campaign Attack, Republicans Back Obama‘s Version of Meeting With Iraqi Leaders

There are many picks available for gathering an education these days,you can buy term paper or buy research papers which is intereating news for those who have not yet directed. sincerely, essays writing is not an easy product so try make right adjustment between making on yor own or to buy an essay. Maybe you need help with original investigation , maybe you want help in producing a fresh plan on a case that is vast and dificult.

Folks there were other people there, credible people, who back Obama account of what happened. The story written by this reporter was a "second" hand account of what happened. There is no reason to "bash" our ambassador to Iraq and Sen Hagel because he doesn't support what you wan't, he is a honorable man.

As far as some of you talking about Obama getting 95% of the African American vote. Stop listening to the media. Traditionally, Dem's get the same numbers even though they have a white candidate, so it is unimportant. If Obama losses, it will be because people disagree with his stance on issues, no race.

If McCain losses, it will be because he failed to get his point across to the American people and he picked "No Brains" for a VP.

This is all coming from a African American Republican, who after reading posting from my Republican brotheren, truely understand why minorities will feel the way they do about us. Instead of staying on message, we attack and that is just wrong. Even when confronted with the truth, if we don't like the person, we cannot admit we are wrong. This is what has been wrong with our current Republican administration.

I have served my country for 23 years and I love it so. I hope one day, it loves me the same way.

Let's look at part of the article. "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."

According to being the most important part of this article. This was a second hand account of a conversation between a group of people. Three of the individuals in the room back Obama's version and one individual gives an account to a reporter and he in turn writes a story.

People, in addition to Obama and Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, this July meeting was attended by Bush administration officials, such as U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker and the Baghdad embassy's legislative affairs advisor Rich Haughton, as well as a Republican senator, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska.

Hagel is a honorable man along with our Ambassador and there is no evidence to repudiate this.

Even if you don't like Obama, come on, you have to believe those folks. So stop the nonsense!

PS: For the record, I am a Republican!

I have to wonder, if the allegations against Obama are not true, why is there no prosecution of those making the false claims? If they are true, why is there no prosecution of Obama? Could it merely be another case of the DC insiders looking after their own?

Obama: Married to 1 woman for 19 years. 2 sweet kids. 1 car. 1 house. 3 yrs as director of Developing Communities Project. 10+ yrs Senior Lecturer of Constitutional Law (U. of Chicago), Columbia U. grad (poli sci/int'l relations), Harvard Law magna c.um laude and Editor of the Harvard Law Review. 9 yrs as civil rights atty. Senator in 5th largest state for 8 yrs, spnsring 823 bills, srvng as chrmn Health&Human Svcs Cmtee. US Senator since '05, serving on cmtees: Foreign Relations; Enviro&Public Works, Vets' Affairs; Health, Ed, Labor&Pensions; Homeland Security; Gvnmntl Affairs. Chrmn of subcmtee on Euro.Affairs, w/trips to Europe, MidEast, Africa. Spnsrd/cospnsrd hundreds of bills.

So "Strategic Framework Agreement " being delayed is ok ??

That's what the ABCNEWS thinks is acceptable?

Why can't that be done NOW?

If this were reversed and a republican nominee had gone against a sitting democrat president in this manner, there would be no end to the howling of the mainstream media. I believe that the mainstream media has become truly dangerous to the country and I thank you, Mr. Tapper, for not toeing their line.

More and more middle Republicans are voting Obama, not because he is Democrat, but because McCain is being led by his Far Right Tycoons. Republicans, like me feel he is letting his lobbiest speak for him, which has been giving McCain a bad rep. He needs to come closer to middle America and fight for a long term American way, and not side with his 'quick buck' lobbiests. Even the unions are starting to look at a long term effect, McCain can not support. We are starting to discuss, his non support for education issues at a younger level. It starts when the children are at a young age. Not just in high school. Obama has a support of military families, that want to see their sons and daughters again. Thank you Obama, for giving us a 'hope', in America, again.

I think mcCain and Palin are just nervous that Obama has already talked with American allies. mcCains lobbist see a loss of their personal foreign bank accounts, and may have to invest in America, when Obama wins. McCain has almost picked a fight with our Ally Spain. At least the spanish newspapers understands, 'he is getting old'. Ouch.
Even Palins 'shoot first', idea is being talked about in other countries. Duck Tape, please.

Only ten days ago, the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat quoted a statement by Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari.  Zebari described the June 2008 conversation between him and Obama.  In June, Obama said the same thing to Zebari that Amir Taheri reported in the New York Post. 

You wrote that Obama campaign national security spokesperson Wendy Morigi stated "Barack Obama has never urged a delay in negotiations."

But on June 16, 2008 2:22 PM, NBC's Domenico Montanaro reported that Obama did indeed urge a delay in negotiations. You can read it for yourself

Obama campaign national security spokesperson Wendy Morigi stated "Barack Obama has never urged a delay in negotiations."

But on June 16, 2008 2:22 PM, NBC's Domenico Montanaro reported this statement by Obama:

=== He said he told Zebari that negotiations for a Status of Forces agreement or strategic framework agreement between the two countries should be done in the open and with Congress's authorization and that it was important that that there be strong bipartisan support for any agreement so that it can be sustained through a future administration. He argued it would make sense to hold off on such negotiations until the next administration. ===

Only ten days ago, a statement by Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari was quoted in the pan-Arab daily Asharq al-Awsat. Zebari himself said this about Barack Obama:

=== This question he asked me (Barak Obama) when I was in Washington some time ago I met with McCain and with Obama and Obama asked me why you urgency in signing this agreement, especially with the approaching change in the American administration and why not wait until the advent of the new administration next year even signed an agreement with A new administration and we agree on some issues and matters and the answer is with Obama, including: Iraq, I think that even if there was a democratic administration in the White House, it is better to have a policy instead of thinking exists in the file for a long time to be resolved including the nettle that the Convention are not binding The next administration be comfortable in dealing with the Iraqi people rather than the start of the crisis and their problems and seek solutions. ===

Guess who I believe.

Nick,
I'm 30, I make about 50K a year and I support Obama, and I will tell you why.
First of all, you are right, it seems that politics have become a circus.
But you have to look beyond that and all the stuff the media put before your eyes. If you want answers and you want to be able to vote smartly, do your own research, don't just listen to what people tell you. Before I supported Obama, I researched his past, what people who knew him in a professional capacity thought of him. I read the books he wrote to see what he actually said in there instead of taking the bits offered on TV, without any prejudice or passion. And guess what, turns out the guy is actually as smart as they come, very thoughtful of his peers, competitive on the basketball court, and someone who will listen to what everybody has to say in a debate, not just impose his own opinion. He is far from perfect, but from where I'm standing, he's the best in the linenup. That behavior runs from the days when he was a professor of law. All that crap about elitism, guns, his color, flag pins that the press and republican ads push are distraction. What matters is where are we now and who can actually pull us out from there. McCain admitted he doesn't know as much as he should about the economy, and he tends to be unpredictable. He seems to be a cool guy, but that doesn't cut it. Also, his economic plan is weak and certainly won't fix the economy. His bragging about the surge he's backed up working is BS. It worked because of ethnic cleansing in the region, and people being tired of getting in the crossfire between US soldiers and terrorist from other countries who came in and don't care about collateral damage. If anything it was luck that made it work, more than the number of troops. I think Obama is right to try to get us out of Iraq ASAP, Iraq was a mess up by the Bush administration, when some fools in the white house decided that they would built facts around the policy making up for a weak casus belli (case for war).
As for voting, it's a privilege that some other countries dream on. Don't waste it. That's what validates you as a citizen. That what makes sure you can't be taken for granted by the powers that be. Don't let that right go because you are disenchanted, it's a mistake. Even if you are going to vote for McCain/Palin, go ahead, exercise your civic rights. You vote based on who you think will make your life and the life of your peers better. Not who looks good, who claims what. The only way you'll vote right, and the only way things will change is if you get actively involved, not just complain about the status quo. Do your research on the candidates and support the ones you want.

The dems in congress who aren't talking keep quiet because obviously Obama has something on each of them. They all knew Biden's son was on the take from Freddie and Fannie probably others. That is why Biden got railroaded into accepting the VP nod from Obama. He made it clear in the past that he was never interested in taking the post from Hillary Clinton.

I believe Tehari's article read both and Obama's rebuttal in Tehari's subsequent piece and the truth is clear. All those present are simply lying to Bush and the American people so that they can not be charged with treason. Furthermore, I no longer will believe ABC, the network which edits and poorly pieces together interviews in order to make female VP candidates seem incompetent. I also have no respect for their journalists, with the exception of Diane Sawyer or George Steph, the rest are a useless bunch of Obamabots. Gibson, you suck.

You guys are hilarious. All of you. I have read many of these comments, and none of them have convinced me to change my vote.

Chuck Hagel and his WIFE have MADE
political DONATIONS To OBAMA !!!!!
HAGEL IS AN UNPAID ADVISOR and has already openly supported the Messiah !!
Good Grief is the OBAMA MEDIA operates at ABC getting this desperate ?? I love that LIE about "Other unnamed sources " in the Bush administration.
McCain and Palin are going to win despite this UNREAL NON STOP Propaganda peddled by the Obama Media !

Obama is a FRAUD! It is NOT McCain that blew the whistle on this "story" - but - the Iraq leaders.
SO.....who should we believe???
Once again - obama will have a spin on what he really means. - DISGRACE

McCain/Palin
