Henry steps in.
Maybe he can do some obedience training.

Didn't the Republicans ridicule Obama for this?

A few comments on the man who helped provide the words Sarah Palin put in her speeches:

Westbrook Pegler -

Pegler decreed America was “done for” after Truman won a full term in 1948. For his part, Truman regarded the columnist as a “guttersnipe,” and with good reason. Pegler was a rabid Joe McCarthyite who loathed F.D.R. and Ike and tirelessly advanced the theory that American Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe (“geese,” he called them) were all likely Communists.

Shame Shame on you ABC News "Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said the U.S. should negotiate directly with Iran over its nuclear program and other bilateral issues." NOTHING SAID ABOUT TALKS WITHOUT CONDITIONS...THAT'S OBAMA'S REASONING....Kissinger further states:

"It's not really the willingness to talk, it's so far the inability to define what we are trying to accomplish," Kissinger said. "The negotiations DEPEND ON A BALANCE OF INCENTIVES AND PENALTIES. Have we got those right at every point? Not at every point."

OMG ABC News...your suppose to report news not make it up to fit your agenda!!!!

Yes Obama was criticized for this, and for more troops in Afghanistan and For Iraq withdrawal.

Seems everyone wants to promote the stance of this naive person.

When Obama speaks the Republicans listens. Already he crossed Party lines to affect Change. Change he can deliver!

Very interesting.

I am sure that Obama will use that in the debates.

Thank you, Mr. Kissinger. I believe this is exactly what Mr. Obama stated to the American people approximately 19-months ago! Howard Gallas, Reno, NV.

I'm glad to see that such a well respected diplomat as Henry Kissinger says that we should use negotiations over force. I beleive he is a man of peace. So is Barack Obama. God help us if McCain becomes President. He is a man of war. It will be ugly.

Well of course, any good president would be happy to talk to their enemies without precondition if the goal is to find ways to achieve peace.

But if the end goal is war, then diplomatic discussions will be ruled out, and war will begin.

Hmmm...wasn't Obama ridiculed as naive for suggesting that? Also, now Bush is launching attacks into Pakistan not that Musharaf the Bush/McCain go to guy is gone and the new agreements with Iraq call for a phased troop withdraw, two points Obama made long ago. Seems John McCain and his Parrot Sarah Palin are the ones who are naive.

As a republincan I will hold my note and vote for who at these times will be a better candidate. Look folks we the stock market -500, this is insane. We need to wake up and face reality folks. McCain is clueless when it comes to the economic issues and Palin even worse. The reson McCian is falling behind in the polls is becouse palin is proven to be too controversial and she continues to lie. I am sorry with the economy the way it is MITT would have been a better candidate. Mitt Romney is strong in economics. We republincas have lost vision and this is why Obama will be the next president of the United states. I really belive given these economic time Obama will be the best pick. We true christian republicans dont judge people base on looks, race nor personalities. We must thin with your heads this time. We also need to re-group and work hard for 2012. First we need a beter candidate. McCain is just not the one.

samantha....I truly hope he does...he will be proven incorrect as that is not what Kissinger stated...READ THE TRANSCRIPT...

I agree. McCain is loosing ground big time. Palin truth is coming out. I agree as a republican, I will hold my nose and vote for the best candidate. McCain is not a wise man.

(CNN) – The bounce John McCain received in national opinion polls following his party's convention and the selection of Sarah Palin to the GOP presidential ticket appears to have evaporated, a new CNN poll of polls suggests.

In the latest CNN survey of several recent national polls, Obama and McCain are locked in a dead heat at 45 percent each with 10 percent who remain undecided with 50 days remaining until Election Day.

“When we average the latest national polls, it is increasingly clear that neither candidate has any serious momentum at the moment,” said CNN Senior Political Researcher Alan Silverleib. “The convention bounces have faded and left us with a dead heat. Even though we are now in the final stretch of this historic marathon campaign for the presidency, the White House is still genuinely up for grabs.”

CNN's latest poll of polls consists of three recent surveys: Newsweek (September 10-11), Gallup (September 12-14), and Diageo/Hotline (September 12-14). It does not have a sampling error.

WOW...Don't the Dems Read Anymore....Read the transcript of the statement made...desertnews.com..."Kissinger backs direct talks with Iran."....and answer the question...where in this statement does it say without conditions????

NY Post today:
OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL

I am an independent voter. Do you think in your right mind that I will support McCain..No way jose!!!!! Independent voter dont like this sleaze campaing that Palin is in. Palin is just to loud and her stand are too radical and controversial, independent voter dont like all this drama.

curious indep...

what transcript are you reading? Could you please point me in the direction of the transcript? because the only transcript linked in this article is from the statement to Bloomberg TV in March...not from today's statements. Please show me where he did NOT say without conditions today.

its funny how mccain keeps demanding that obama say he was right on the surge, and yet he wont sya obama is right on how to leave iraq and actually win teh war...

bush has signed on, iraq has signed on, more and more people are signing on to obamas foreign policy ideas

mccains policy seems to be use surge surge worked....

and then nothing, what gets us out of iraq, bush wouldnt define victory, mccain wont define victory, therfore the surge is still not succesful

Wow , it looks to me that the McCain straight talk machine is dying down. I am a Hillary girl and I say loud and clear:

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCCAIN/PALIN

oh and curious indep...

I think YOU'RE the one that isn't reading....AGAIN the transcript link is to March's statements not TODAY"S.... this is why the dems are good at catching repub lies... cause we research and read properly...and by the way...it's DESERET News... not Desert...

Utah paper...

LOL

Those who said that Palin is going to be the worse VP pick ever are going to be proved right. 50 days in politics is a long time....

Well....curious indep?

outta here now? Sorry to be "uppity" and suggest you learn to research and spell properly...how presumptuous of me.

He must have been listening to my posts and Ron Paul. I believe Obama also originally held this position. Warmongerers are going down baby!

My gosh. So many factual errors, it's hard to pick which ones to correct! FIRST, McCain is NOT losing ground; his bounce lasted longer than Obama's! Second, Palin has not lied about anything - every single thing she supposedly "said" has been shown incorrectly attributed to her. Thanks to those who corrected ABC on what Mr. Kissinger actuallyl said. Last, McCain has NEVER demanded Obama admit he was wrong about the surge ... that was O'Reilly. People, please get your facts straight before you vote!

More folks falling in line behind Obama on foreign policy. So McCain was right on the surge but Obama is on top of everything else. What should voters conclude from that?

http://www.political-buzz.com/

Based on their suggestions, it seems pretty obvious that they should endorse Obama if they all put "country first".

Don't call Henry a Republican. The Party left him long ago.

Actually, the media's desperation is an index of how bad shape Obama's in. It saves us a lot of efforts to analyze polls.

McCain lacks the judgment to be commander in chief. Now his republican friends think he is wrong on Iran.

So...Laura...what other "facts" would you like to correct me about next...and please be detailed and offer links to back you up...

ah....another sheep ready to be led to the slaughter.

Now even Kissinger is endorsing Obama's foreign policy judgments. Everybody seems to get it now except for John McCain.

Kissinger is an old style conservative.
He doesn't represent the new right wing religious fanatic, NRA, anti choice, ban books, Bible thumping wing of the party.
I find it amusing that Kissinger agrees with Obama on this. Seems McCain and his celebrity VP just can't get it right.

Kissinger thinks McCain is wrong on Iran.
Greenspan thinks McCain is wrong on taxes.

McCain just can't get it right.

Wellll.GOSH Laura...where are all the factual errors?

outta here now and on to troll with some other vapid statement on a different blog?

What happened to all the ANTI PALIN stories? Is it POSSIBLE that ABC NEWS TOOK A LOOK AT THE POLL TRENDS AND FINALLY WISED UP? IF THAT IS THE CASE, THEY ARE A LITTLE MORE SAVY THAN THE NY TIMES - WHICH HAD AT LEAST FIVE WELL KNOWN COLUMNISTS POUNDING AWAY AT PALIN IN SUNDAY'S PAPER. GOT A REAL LAUGH IN TODAY'S PAPER ABOUT RICHARD COWEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE REPS "SWIFTBOATING" OBAMA - WITH NO MENTION OF PALIN - OF COURSE. HOW IRONIC IT IS THAT THE NEWS MEDIA WHICH IN GENERAL HAS BELONGED TO OBAMA, COULD BE A MAJOR CAUSE OF HIS DEMISE!!

wow...Manitu...off topic a bit?

Can't stand the heat?

Wanna roll it back to the new repub "celebrity'.....we're focused on bigger and better things today...Ms Palin can go right on shooting herself on the foot (or is that collecting those wolf bounty forelegs....)...I digress.

Manitu:
FYI--

A few comments on the man who helped provide the words Sarah Palin put in her speeches:

Westbrook Pegler -

Pegler decreed America was “done for” after Truman won a full term in 1948. For his part, Truman regarded the columnist as a “guttersnipe,” and with good reason. Pegler was a rabid Joe McCarthyite who loathed F.D.R. and Ike and tirelessly advanced the theory that American Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe (“geese,” he called them) were all likely Communists.

ever notice how McCain supporters either "disapper" from a blog...or switch topic when they're proven wrong...

absolutely no facts to back themselves up on anything anyone cares about....

disappear...yikes...

Another day - another POS news story filled with lies! You people are pathetic ..

My friends looks like Obama is schooling republicans on foreign policy each and every day but McCain is being stubborn.

Maybe he doesnt get it.
OBiden 08

Marcus....marcus...

is that the best you have? Please be specific about the lies???

Oh and Marcus...

When dems call Republicans on their lies...we have specific detail to back up WHY we call it a lie...Documentation...dearie... Also called FACTS...

So again...please point out the specific lies or keep your mouth shut.

I HOPE that Palin "KEEPS SHOOTING HERSELF IN THE FOOT!!" COLOR "RED" JUST KEEPS EXPANDING!! Hmmmm. It's all yours libs - time for din - just wanted to sneak one in!

Manitu....what an intelligent post!

Go....ahead ...be complacent...we're counting on it November 4th...cause...we're NOT...this year. LOL

Manitu,

Your hypotheseis is incorrect. The NY Times had articles that just showed what we all alredy know- Palin is DANGEROUSLY UNPREPARED and UNQUALIFIED for the national stage. It's not bias, it's not "sexism" (as the GOP wants to you to think), it's the truth. Palin proved it herself.

To what "polls" do you refer.The ones that show the MAJORITY of Americans feel Palin's "credentials" are not good enough to be VP? That she is not prepared? That's what today's polls of American voters showed. Guess they shouldn't have let her speak without a rehersed speech in front of her.

If you enjoy real political comedy, watch the early morning FOX talking heads. They are so desperate to justify their weak candidates - it's really funny. Don't eat first though. It's hard to stomach much of it.

Today, while all the other stations were reporting news about the hurricane, FOX spent 30 minutes trying to explain how Palin "really understood the Bush Doctrine". Then they slammed the NY Times because the Times had a great article that actually showed what Palin's governing style has been like...aka Female Cheney.

These are not "slams". We know absolutely nothing about Gov Palin except for the BS platitudes SHOVELED out at the GOP convention. Sure, she can read a sarcastic speech. But that's ALL she's done since being nominated.

Americans have a right to know a candidates knowledge and credibility without the waving American flag behind them.

LIES? TALK ABOUT MURDERING A RESPECTABLE NOUN!! THE LIBS SURELY HAVE BECOME MASTERS OF DECEIT!! REMEMBER "PEOPLE DIED WHEN BUSH LIED"? THAT... SURE TURNED INTO GOBBDEGOOK WHEN THE TRUTH CAME OUT! HUSSAIN CONFESSED TO PUTTING OUT THE STORIES OF WMDs TO KEEP IRAN OFF HIS BACK, ALL THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES BOUGHT IT....DUH!!

Kissinger is and always was an idiot.

Polls? Gallup, Rasmussen, Pew, Zogby, Real Clear Politics - ALL SHOW MCCAIN/PALIN AHEAD WITH MOST MAJOR GAINS ... AFER THE MEDIA STARTED THE HATCHET JOB ON PALIN....DUMB!! MOST IMPORTANT - MAJOR GAINS FOR REPS IN THE TOSS-UP STATES - EVEN PA - which is now even! I LIVE IN OHIO AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THE MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET IS NOW AHEAD BY FIVE POINTS (FLORIDA ALSO)!!

It's so amusing that the economic policies and international positions Obama has been promoting are now are being accepted by the top experts in America.

The Republicans are out of touch and have no idea how to solve any of our problems.

When KARL ROVE even says that McCain and Palin have been LYING it speaks volumes about them. So much for straight talk and integrity.

It's sad though. McCain WAS kind of "maverick" 8-10 years ago. Though I disagreed with him alot, I really think he voted on what he thought was best.

But now he caved in. The "Maverick" sold out his honesty and his integrity to try and get elected. He put his PARTY FIRST when he chose Palin. He put his country at risk by trying to put her a heartbeat away from the Oval Office.

Again, KARL ROVE even said Palin was NOT picked based on ability, but rather as a political move to draw the evangelicals.

"The economy is fundimentally sound"
John McCain 09/15/08

Once upon a time, the anti-war political left considered Kissinger as their nemesis.
Many were clamoring to charge him with a number of war crimes, such as his involvement in the brutal East Timor invasion. Kissinger was responsible for backing Gen. Suharto, Indonesia's military dictator, with U.S. arms to annex East Timor, which resulted in the massacre of 102,800 people.
Today, because Kissinger most recent opinion seems to align with Obama's, the sudden change from condemnation to adulation is indeed noteworthy.

Jerry - if you are a REP, don't you think that you could spell it right? Some guy over the weekend who called himself "Viet Nam Vet for Obama" went in the same direction - never heard from him again. If a Vietnam vet can't spell Vietnam right.... you get the idea?

McCain/Palin 08

REMEMBER "PEOPLE DIED WHEN BUSH LIED"? THAT... SURE TURNED INTO GOBBDEGOOK WHEN THE TRUTH CAME OUT! HUSSAIN CONFESSED TO PUTTING OUT THE STORIES OF WMDs TO KEEP IRAN OFF HIS BACK, ALL THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES BOUGHT IT....DUH!!
-------------------
Uh Jimbo - You need to get your facts from a credible source. Because you are 100% wrong. And using caps doesn't make you smarter.

The heads of the FBI and CIA both told Cheney and Bush there were no WMD's in Iraq. Cheney ignored them.

Powell told Bush NOT to invade. He ignored Powell and listened to Cheney and Rumsfield.

The ONLY source that claimed Iraq had WMD's was ONE UNSUBSTANTIATED confession from a prisoner that had been tortued in an Egyptian prison for two years!

That's the ONLY "intellegence" they had when they went to the United Nations. Powell was never told that the source of intellegence had never been verified.

The war was just a fulfillment of Cheney and Bush's agenda that they well before 9-11 ever happened.

And we all know that 9-11 and Iraq are not at all related right? (Palin still says they are)

That's why the head of the FBI, CIA, and Powell QUIT!

Would someone please tell Colin Powell to stop worrying about his "I'm honorable reputation" because he lost that shine when he lied to get us in this war!! He is just as responsible for the death of all those young soldiers as Bush!! Who cares who he votes for!!He's a fake!! And I'm a retire Army Officer!!

Forgive me for being a dumb ass but I suspect we are talking about the same Kissinger who helped to engineer the VietNam war to a failure.This person received a Nobel Peace Prize and accepted it with pride while on the other hand,the Prime Minnister of the North Viet Nam Communist has declined to accept the same Nobel Peace Prize. After the Tet offensive of 1968, this very same person sat down with the North Vietnamese Communist for some diplomat solution to end the war. If I am not mistaken, the peace talk took place in Paris for about 5 years and a resolution was finally drawn in 1973 wihout the agreement of the South Vietnamese goverment. Million Cambodians died from the Polpot Khmer Rouge as the result of the Domino- effect after the fail of the South Vietnamese goverment in 1975. It took 5 whole years for the North Vietnamese Communist to strenghthen their military force while the peace talk was conducted in Paris and as a result the fail of Vietnam in 1975. Talk all you want but history will repeat istself if the same mistake is made.

Oh Jimbo,

Your "facts" are wrong yet again.

Polls are actually showing the GOP "post convention bounce" is going DOWN. Just checked Gallop, Rassmussen, and real clear politics.

People will only allow so much rhetorical BS to be shoveled at them before they start asking questions.

Palin and McCain are being called out by the media to explain the lies and incredibly misleading "credentials" of Gov Palin.

McCain even got busted lying on national TV by women on "The View". I mean, if a guy can't get his facts straight on that show...keep him away from the White House!

Over-hyped, fasly represented celebrities can jump into the limelight quickly. And they can CRASH BACK TO EARTH even faster.

People disposed to vote Republican will still vote Republican (Why anyone who works for a living would, I'll never understand. It's like shooting yourself in the head)

But those who are undecided are seeing through McCain and Palin's flag waving distractions. Now that the truth about Palin and McCain is coming out, McCain looks worse and worse for allowing himself be forced to pick her. She WAS NEVER VETTED.

McCain wanted Liberman and was told no. Who is actually running the Republican party anyway? The "Maverick" can't even pick his own running mate. No doubt he'll stand up to those 100+ lobbyists on his staff. They'll never expect anything right?

f this story is true, it is the most important revelation of the election.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari has apparently revealed that the centerpiece of Barack Obama's conversation with Iraqi leaders in July was his hope of delaying the draw-down of American military forces in Iraq. Zebari's recounts that Obama "asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington." Obama also reportedly insisted that Congress steer negotiations on the time-table of troops withdrawal, rather than the Bush administration, which he described as being in a "state of weakness and political confusion."

Obama's campaign has denied these accounts of his visit to Iraq. Such a private request for delayed troop reductions would run counter to Obama's public statements on Iraq, in which he calls for an immediate withdrawal. Further, an attempt to subvert the executive branch would be contrary to established U.S. foreign policy.

If Zebari's statements are discovered to be true, Obama would be guilty of the most unadulterated political profiteering and moral corruption in modern history. To seek electoral gain on the deception of a nation at war and the blood of American soldiers is nothing less than treasonous villainy - for which the offender ought to be tarred and feathered before being expelled from the country.

TERRY,

I felt the exact same way. But the more I've read about the events leading up to the Iraq War, the more I've come back to respecting Powell again.

Powell actually told Bush NOT to go to war. He was completly against it. He knew how volitile the region was considering the ethnic diversity. He told Bush, "It's like a piece of fine china. Once you beak it, you can't put it back together." CHENEY and RUMSFELD told Powell NOT to talk to the President anymore.

Powell was never told that the "facts" he gave to the United Nations and the American public were unsubstatiated and pure conjecture. He did not find this out until after he gave his presentation. He had assumed the intellegence had been verified.

So I do not blame Powell for backing up his country. He's a soldier, that's what he does. But he was played by the Cheney/Rumsfeld administration. And he quit soon after.

Just a thought.

IRONIC THAT "SECRET GOVERNMENT" IS EXACTLY HOW GOV PALIN RUNS ALASKA. SOUND FAMILIAR?

Obama was right about the surge too.

You see, in parallel with the surge, US diplomats started talking with the Iranians over boarder control. That is what curbed the flow of artillery by smugglers.

The surge did nothing. If the Iran’s stop cooperating on boarder control, we will be back to square one.

ABC seems have lost its interity on jounalism. I did a search/find on the transcript and find no match of "without condition".
You are trying too hard to sell Obama's candidacy, aren't you?

OutrightLie,

ABC is dead on the money. When you say somebody should hold talks, it implicitly means "without preconditions."

The only way talks can be held with pre-conditions, is when politicians, such as Condi Rice, say that "Iran must first freeze its nuclear development program, etc., then that means that we're waiting for pre-conditions.

Or when Hamas says that Israel must first free 1000 political prisoners, etc., before they will lay down their arms, that also means pre-conditions.

But when somebody says that so-and-so should talk, no ifs, buts, or whatever, then that implies that there should be no pre-conditions.

Bob,
This section pertains to Kissinger, not about the Iraq war.
But since you're bringing it up in your post, here's a report from Newsweek (yeah, the liberals' darling pro-Obama magazine) of 8/23/08 about the surge.
Once in a blue moon they have the decency to produce a fair and balanced article like the following:

"...We'll talk about Al Qaeda in Iraq. They've lost Anbar province and Baghdad. They're vacated the Sunni Triangle. Virtually the entire Sunni Arab population has turned against them, and now not a single Sunni imam, politician or tribal leader of note inside the country supports them...."

"Al Qaeda is definitely defeated tactically," says Iraq's national security adviser, Mowaffaq al-Rubaie."

Now,can you quote me the source of your information that the surge did nothing?

Is it true that McCain suffered from a mild attack of some sort today and had to be taken to the hospital? Maybe Palin can step in and be the Pres elect before jan 1. Only in the good ole USA.

The surge? Give me a break. The reality is that Bush put over 100k insurgents in Iraq on the US payroll. That my friends is why they now work for us. What do you think will happen when we leave? They will work for whomever pays them next. Surge. You people are insane to believe military action alone some how "broke the spirt" of these Muslims.

Gee, Henry Kissinger probably the most famous political "wonk" ever backs Obama's position...

WHAT A BIG SURPRISE!!!!

Obama/Biden '08!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fitting that an affirmative action general would support an affirmative action candidate. Both got where they are because of their skin color so it figures they would stick together.

McCain/Palin 08

Fact over fiction

YOU FORGOT TO MENTION.... WHAT POLLS SHOWING OBAMA AHEAD?? I KNOW ABC POLL SHOWS OBAMA AHEAD - BUT ABC HAS A FINANCIAL INTEREST IN AN OBAMA VICTORY. ISN'T FACT OVER FICTION CALLED AN OXYMORON???

Patrick.

Nice try, but you libs are in denial. Iraq, as a political issue is supported by a whopping 11 perent of the total American voters!! IRAQ IS A DEAD ISSUE AND WE HAVE WON, THANKS TO THE SURGE!!

Imagine that. Ol'Kissinger is supporting Obama's position.
Just like a former republican gov. of Virginia is as well.
More and more McCain just looks like a relic of the failed past republican thinking that has brought America to the abyss. The republicans have done so much to destroy this country and that is so shameful.

Libs are so good at gobbledegook that they ARE ACTUALLY BELIEVING THEIR OWN STUFF!! Surge "DIDN"T WORK."

It's over, libs. You have had an ARMY of DICKS up in Alaska trying to find stuff on Palin, but she enjoys an 80 percent approval rating there - SORRY!!

McCain/Palin 08

Hey Mr. Coffee,

That article you quote is not the source of the "without conditions" quote from Kissinger. That link is referring to an earlier statement by Kissinger, while the "without conditions" was reported by ABC News' Rachel Martin as being spoken by Kissinger during the forum at GWU. Your point that ABC news just made this up is unfounded.

I'd further note that Kissinger's earlier statement that you quote does not necessarily demand pre-conditions either; I read it as speaking to what should be sought during negotiations, not what should be sorted out before even beginning to talk with Iran.

But Henry's boy McCain wants to BOMB Iran on the day of inaguration. I think Henry is confused. But then again he worked for Nixon.

Kissinger? Kissinger? Let the games begin. Haven't we a Senior pasture within which he could feed far away from the crowd.
Four-letter words....58,000 dead young American men for nothing, thanks Kissinger. Sleep well.

Kissinger is playing hide-and-seek. We already made a back-door deal to not invade Iran. They stop sending suicide bombers and IED's into Iraq to kill our soldiers --- McCain gets to declare the "surge" a success.

What a farce. Did 30,000 troops stop the violence in Vietnam?

The Bush administration stops Israel from attacking Iran by encouraging Georgia to go after South Ossetia. Russia occupies the airbases in Georgia where the Israeli air force practiced. Then the Russian fleet moves to the Mediterranean and the Syrian port of Tartus.

Iran lowers the price of oil and voila - no embargo of Iran, no blockade and no new sanctions by the G8. The deal's already been done.

Iran moves missiles to Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza tied together with satellite and underground cable communication. The Bush administration sells out Israel as the net of high-tech weapons surrounding Israel turns into a noose --- of 100,000 missiles.

With a wink at Russia, the administration gives the go-ahead for Russia to finish Iran's nuclear reactor. If exaggerating the new "Cold War" threat by provoking Russia with anti-missile missiles in Poland doesn't do the trick for electing McCain then at least Obama will be tied up enough with foreign policy to not make any early domestic regulatory reforms.

Henry Kissinger is a Republican abcblogger you are a far right wing nutzy whacko Conservative sh*t for brains. Posted by: QuicksdrawMcGraw | Sep 15, 2008 7:17:06 PM

Michael Moore is in the ROOM ;) violates: TERMS of USE again.

It is good to know that some Reputrid Reprehensible Restraining Republicans still Re-think their political ideas.

REPUBLICAN GOVERNMENT IS MADE OF CORRUPTS AND LIARS.

GOOD BLESS.

This proposal would, of course, assume the US State Department negotiating-- not loose cannon Senators trying to manipulate allies for political gain--like Obama.

When Obama visited Baghdad in July, while publicly demanding an early withdrawal, he privately asked why Iraqi leaders were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington.

Obama’s national security spokeswoman ADMITTED that 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.

Which is exactly what Taheri wrote in the NY Post. Barack Obama went to Iraq and interfered with the diplomatic efforts of the elected United States government, in a war zone no less, by telling the Iraqis to stop negotiating with the President.

It wasn’t enough f
