Has anyone read
this story? Mr. Obama has been on the record for his entire campaign as advocating immediate troop withdrawals from Iraq, yet he reportedly asked the Iraqis to delay any negotiations on withdrawals until after the election (e.g. until after he is elected).
Before the Obama supporters get riled up, understand that his campaign has
supported his position.
I see only a few problems with this:
1) It may be
illegal for him to be negotiating such things unless authorized by the United States Congress or the current United States President (there isn't enough information in the act to know for certain how a court will rule).
2) It goes against his own campaign positions in order to make him "look good" by negotiating troop withdrawals after he is elected.
Thoughts?
