Hi Everybody! http://www.2minuteview.com/
“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,” the New York Post said in an article covering this latest controversy. In the Post piece, Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said Obama’s primary theme in his discussions with Iraqi leaders was that of delaying withdrawal of US troops. "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. Obama told the Iraqi leaders it was in both sides’ interests to wait and not negotiate with the Bush administration in its "state of weakness and political confusion." Instead of reaching an agreement with Bush, Obama advised Iraqi leaders to request an extension of the UN mandate. What Obama really meant but didn’t say, is that it is in his own self interest, not the US or Iraq’s, to wait until after the election, so that he can look good by pulling out the troops as the new President. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
