"Taheri reported that Iraqi President Jalal Talabani's advisers wonder if Obama
is privately working to delay troop withdrawal until after the election in
order to claim credit - should Obama win the presidency - for ending the war.
You mean like when Reagan sent envoys to Tehran to convince the revolutionaries
not to release the hostages until after he was inaugurated?
I have it on the best of authority.

The World Net Daily ends with,
"Taheri reported that Iraqi President Jalal Talabani's advisers wonder if
Obama is privately working to delay troop withdrawal until after the election
in order to claim credit - should Obama win the presidency - for ending the war.
"Indeed, say Talabani's advisers," reports Taheri, "a President Obama might
be tempted to appropriate the victory that America has already won in Iraq by
claiming that his intervention transformed failure into success."
The Obama campaign has not responded to WND's request for a response to the
Post article.
