As I reported before, Iraqi PM Maliki and his national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie made headlines recently by calling for a timetable for the withdrawal of all US forces from Iraq.
And Barack Hussein Obama pounced on that notion quickly, writing a farcical op-ed in The New York Times trumpeting the fact that the Iraqi government wants us out and outlining his plans to do just that. I could almost mentally picture him fist bumping his circle of advisers in triumph as this went to press.
Except for one thing...Mr. Hope N'Change forgot that things really do change.
Maliki apparently said nothing of the kind, and didn't use the word "withdrawal"!
What he actually said was: "The direction ( of the negotiations) is towards either a memorandum of understanding on their evacuation, or a memorandum of understanding on programming their presence."
He claims his office inserted the word "withdrawal" in the written version, replacing the word "presence", and apparently had no explanation as to how the `error' happened.
The explanation,of course is exactly the one I gave you earlier..Maliki is in bazaari mode negotiating for the best price between the American infidels and Iran.
Both sides have obviously made it clear to him that he needs to make a choice very soon, and he's keeping his options open.Not the sort of straight forward stuff we're used to, but this is the Middle East.
Meanwhile Barack Obama ended up merely looking foolish for diving in.
Change, Suckah! It happens...

ReplyDeletethis changes nothing.
ReplyDeletethis means nothing.
if his spiritual mentor can da*n america........
if his political mentor can wish out loud that he had bombed/killed more people........
explain to me how this matters.
it doesn't.
this issue will not change one single vote in any direction.
and this won't be the last time something like this happens.
i bet something like this happens before the end of the week.
and you know what........
IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!!!
D'oh! Obama steps on it again. Seems all he does is put his foot in his mouth, throw his shady friends under the campaign bus, threaten to raise our taxes, or insist on changing the greatest country on earth.
ReplyDeleteWhat a loser!!
