Obama Tried To Undermine President Bush’s Iraq War Negotiations

This is just one more thing that will be swept under the rug.

Barack Obama told the Iraqi government that George W Bush should not be allowed to strike a deal on the future of American troops in the country without the approval of the US Congress, it has emerged.

Mr Obama, the Democratic presidential candidate, also said that the deal should be delayed until President Bush was out of office, according to Iraq’s ambassador to the US – though this is denied by Mr Obama’s campaign.

The disclosure is likely to raise questions over the propriety of a Mr Obama’s contact with the government of a country in which the current president is still conducting a war.

I can see the Obama nutters already whining about how this is all just a distraction from the “real issues,” which for them is only the redistribution of wealth.
