Mr. Goebbels call your office

Spiegel lied, Americans sighed

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki did not back the plan of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq and his comments to a German magazine on the issue were misunderstood, the government's spokesman said on Sunday.

Ali al-Dabbagh said in a statement that Maliki's remarks to Der Spiegel were translated incorrectly.

 What a freaking surprise.  Last Monday the BBC admitted that  a ballyhooed call for withdrawal of American troops by Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's never happened - but had been "mistranslated."  A scant five days later, just as Barack Hussein Obama  visits anti-terror battle zones, including Iraq, the Spiegel  asserts that "Maliki supports Obama's plan."  Now, just a day later, said Krauts admit a "mistranslation"  occurred. The Iraqi government doesn't support Obama.  It actually wants to  execute the Kook from Kenya.  Okay, ignore that last part.  Maliki would never say that publicly.

So what's happened here?

A series of false stories showing support, by the Iraqi gummint, for Lord Obama's magical mystery plans are discredited. No  harm, no foul right?  Wrong.

The Democrat's
cynical calculus to seize power uses media allies to splash bold lies  across the airwaves.   When  these assertions are later quietly disavowed on page 23 of their print media, it's still mission accomplished.  These tactics transcend "political shenanigans," and fall squarely into the realm of  "government overthrow."  Chrissie
aka Wild Thing
is so right.
