Hanoi Jane, Baghdad Barack?

Any civilian who meets with foreign leaders to discuss matters of state, whether just to chit-chat about the weather; to set official policy; or for something in between, should be a criminal offense and the offender put in the slammer.

This is no more appropriate than it would be for a private was to pull a general aside to discuss some colonel's orders affecting the private or his overall command authority.

'Political hack' is too gentle. 'Borderline treason' seems closer to the truth to me.

What is interesting is that he does not really deny it. The media stayed away from it until there was a credible on the record source which there now is.

If you look at his transcripts from around this time he makes mention of this more than once.

He is guilty and should be held accountable.

I'd rather not have them rush through anything just to please President Bush, thereby committing us indefinitely beyond Jan 2009.

The NY Post is a tabloid paper, and you might think that if Obama actually did what you're accusing him of, then Fox News would have been on it 2 months ago when it allegedly happened.

In other news, one of McCain's top advisors said today that McCain helped invent the Blackberry.

Here's Obama's response according to the AP where ...

Here's Obama's response according to the AP where his campaign denies then admits he tried to mess with U.S. foreign policy to his personal benefit:

"Barack Obama's White House campaign angrily denied Monday a report that he had secretly urged the Iraqis to postpone a deal to withdraw US troops until after November's election.

But Obama's national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri's article bore "as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial."

In fact, 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, she said."

And Ronald Reagan negotiated with Iran to keep the hostages until he became President. Isn't that how the conspiracy crap starts...

It is what it is, Chris. If you can't take your partisan blinders off to agree there is something wrong with a presidential candidate doing this, then you are hopeless.

IF this is true Obama should be prosecuted under any applicable law that is on the books. What a traitor and liar.

Treasonous hack? Wow. You've so clearly lost it, dude. I'm at a loss. I haven't seen single-minded hatred like this in, well, quite frankly, I don't think I've ever seen it.
