Baghdad – Al Sumaria TV (Iraqi Satellite TV Network) is reporting that Malaki and Bush have agreed that a time for withdrawal of US troops in Iraq should be set, however, the talks concluded that “the new role of US Forces in Iraq will be for a limited period of time according to the successes of cooperation between national forces and multinational forces.”. Additionally, some Iraqi politicians are wary of a timetable as they feel that this puts pressure on the part of the Iraqis negotiations.
Interestingly enough, there was no mention of Barack Obama anywhere in the Iraqi Press, which is quite extensive. Although translating is a tedious task (free on-line translator included in blogs links), it is worth the time and trouble to gain perspective on what people and politicians outside of the US media might be thinking. The Iraqi Prime Minister, in an interview with German News Outlet, was characterized as being in support of Barack Obama’s plan for withdrawal which was immediately corrected and overlooked by US press (page 32 syndrom). The Progressive Publication Spiegle has been publishing glowing articles re: Obama since his Iowa primary win - it makes perfect sense as there is a shared Progressive ideology. Progressive (Communist) ideology is not confined to the Democratic Party within the United States, or our universities, but rather it is a world wide political machine.) Obama gets another round of praise from the Arabic version of Al Jezeera with the usual “faithful your ['awbaamaa] the American candidate democratic for elections of the presidency” on page 1.
With CBS, ABC, NBC having joined the Obama campaign on the “Obama 08 world Tour”, it is suggested that one do as much as possible to understand what might or might not be news. John McCain has all but disappeared from nightly newscasts, and the media appears to be electing the People’s next president, going so far as to pick and choose what news the people see insuring that anything positive that might aid the aforementioned, is simply “set aside”. This is something that those pesky old men who wrote the Constitution were somewhat concerned about – the usurpation and change of the Republic by the media. (See: The Federalist Papers)
