My guess is that lil barry promised ‘em cash and stuff if they promised not to attack on, or during, or too soon after the US withdrawal so as not to make the won look bad.

“Hillary Rodham Clinton said she had assured visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that the Iraqi government would be informed of any such meetings”

—And why should I ever have reason to doubt her?

I would hate to think its like a “drunkennedy/rockufeller”, tell your enemies what we are about to do plan. Is this the best that we can get in leadership? Good Lord. Terrorists are like cigarettes, smoke a “pack” a day and put the ashes in the garbage.

An update from the Associated Press:

Iraq investigates alleged US-insurgent talks

By CHRISTOPHER TORCHIA (AP)

BAGHDAD — Iraq said Friday it was investigating reports that U.S. delegates and Sunni insurgents held reconciliation talks in Turkey this year, alleging the meetings violated Iraqi sovereignty and showed tolerance for terrorists.

In Washington, the State Department acknowledged that unspecified meetings took place, but said Iraq knew about them at the time. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said she had assured visiting Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki that the Iraqi government would be informed of any such meetings.

“We intend to make sure the Iraqi government is fully informed of any such activities, whether they are sponsored by another party or come from any other source,” Clinton told a joint news conference with al-Maliki after they met at the State Department. “We want to be sure that we have a close working relationship and we have a very clear line of communication.”

The prime minister said he was satisfied with the assurance.

“I have been given a commitment that the administration will not negotiate or reach any agreements with those who killed American soldiers, Iraqi soldiers and Iraqi people,” he said.

Still, the matter raised sensitive questions about Iraqis’ newfound authority as the United States hands over responsibility to Iraqi forces, which have taken charge of security in cities since June 30. The revelations came as al-Maliki ended a visit to the United States after meeting President Barack Obama on Wednesday.

Although the meetings in Turkey are said to have occurred months ago, news reports about an agreement supposedly signed by the American and insurgent sides have angered Iraqis who are struggling to assert their independence after years of conflict.

Clinton denied any agreement had been reached. “We have not authorized anything to be signed,” she said.

A man identified as the secretary-general of the Political Council of the Iraqi Resistance told Al-Jazeera TV last week that his group held talks with U.S. officials in March and in May. He said the two sides signed a “protocol to organize the negotiation process and a document that included U.S. recognition of the Iraqi resistance.”

The man, Ali al-Jubouri, said the group’s other demands included a formal U.S. apology for the 2003 invasion and the release of all Iraqi prisoners, but that the talks had since broken down…

So it’s official. Neither of the geniuses Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton bothered to notifed Iraq about these negotiations.

Imagine the howls of outrage from our watchdog media if this had happened under the incompetent George Bush.

I love how accurate the “representations” of the US flag are. Wrong number of stars, wrong number of stripes, wrong location for the blue field…is it any wonder they don’t have indoor plumbing?

Fortunately, while the world is laughing, they arent paying attention to those of us who arent. They will rue the day when they discover that this current debacle was only temporary, and suffer the consequences of the biggest mistake socialists and leftists make: they begin to believe themselves.

catie, I feel the same. Obama has humiliated us. Just his apologizing and blaming America for everything, and the terrorists can call him names and he still invites them for hotdogs, and gropes and hugs them. The world is laughing.

Is it really so surprising since he bypassed our ally Britain and negotiated directly for the release of the Uighurs with Bermuda? (Would be like negotiating such a consequential decision with Guam or Puerto Rico and ignoring the U.S. authorities.)

This news comes on the heels of the proclamation that we aren’t fighting for victory in Afghanistan. Do we need to wait for more proof that this guy is the Manchurian Candidate?

For the first time in my life, I am scared to death for our country and I am no longer proud of it the way I was on January 9, 2009.

Obama actually put action behind his pre-campaign and ongoing apology of America. It explains Obama’s allowing Afganistan’s terrorism’s overnight growth. and a greater threater of the complexity for our soldiers. The expansion of the moderate’s growth, post- Obama election, now makes the enemy much more difficult for out troops to identify. Also, another good reason for to not outlaw large clips, is eyesight getting worse.

Insurgent RPG attack fails miserably. Our soldiers having to think fast.

“Is Mr. Obama really going let all of our brave men die in vain?”
Absolutely not, that’s why he’s negotiating with them.
Oh, sorry, I thought you meant his brave men, the ones fighting the imperialist troops of George Bush.
He’ll back them till hell freezes over or his birth certificate becomes public.

Barry the Bungler can negotiate with terrorist but not with fellow Americans over the right things to do?
REALLY?

Now is the time to strike the Impeachment bell and fire him as our leader.
He has NO business dealing with terrorist. Especially if they are on the “Terrorist Watch” list.
OOOOW…………I loathe this daddies boy!
