EXCUSE ME??!!??

I have been saying for months that Barack Obama is unelectable. I have just found Exhibit A in my argument:

From the NY Post:

OBAMA TRIED TO STALL GIS' IRAQ WITHDRAWAL
"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.

According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

"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 in an interview.

Let me see if I have this right:

Barack Obama, private citizen, attempted to negotiate US troop movements with the head of a foreign country? Excuse me?

And he wants any troop withdrawals delayed until AFTER the next president takes over (I presume he envisions himself in that role). He is willing to trade American lives for his own narcissistic political visions????

He went on to challenge that "Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of US troops." Have you read the US Constitution lately, Mr. Obama? The deployment of US troops is at the direction of the president only. Congress does not have the power to order the deployment or withdrawal of US troops. Period.

Then, to tell an ally at a time of war that President Bush is in a "state of weakness and political confusion."

This action of Obama goes beyond description.

No wait, I have the word to describe Obama's actions here: TREASON!
