Meanwhile, the WoT goes on...What will Obama do?

Now that the US elections are over, Islamic Militants can get back to business as usual.

Bomb attacks kill 8, wound dozens across Iraq

Spate of Iraq attacks leaves 23 dead

These stories don't qualify as anything: 'Test' worthy; rather, they are more along the lines of 'wear on the will of the American People.' Stories like this (especially when US casualties are kept to a minimum and can be used in favor of the "leave 'em to their civil war" narrative) will serve to confirm Obama's policy of withdrawal -regardless of conditions on the ground. An Obama friendly media - "I want to do everything I can to make this thing work"; Chris Matthews- will cover for any atrocities that may be committed once the troops are pulled out. Sixty percent of the American population won't even know if a genocide ensues after we pull out. Of course, that makes it all the more disgusting to think of the 40% of the population who are informed and vote Democrat. They'll be aware -at least on a base level- of their complicity in any atrocities committed as a result of our pulling out before Iraq's fledgling government was deemed capable of handling the combined influence of Iran and Syria. They'll know just like they knew about the killing fields and the slaughter of the Vietnamese Boat People after Democrats forced a premature pull-out of Vietnam following a horrendously run war.

Now, for context, you should remember our President Elect's former adviser Rob Malley was forcibly retired from the campaign just prior to news releases regarding his meetings with Hamas. Malley's job was "to meet with all sorts of savory and unsavory people and report on what they say." He's never denied who he's met with; it's just what he does...

The more things change, the more they stay the same...Recently,
Hamas says they've met Obama advisors in Gaza:

smail Haniyeh's political advisor says Islamist group met with US president-elect's aides in Strip following online correspondence; 'they told us not to come out with any statements so as not to harm Obama's campaign,' Ahmad Yousuf says. "We were in contact with a number of Obama's aides through the Internet, and later met with some of them in Gaza, but they advised us not to come out with any statements, as they may have a negative effect on his election campaign and be used by Republican candidate John McCain (to attack Obama)," Yousuf said in an interview with London-based Arabic-language newspaper Al-Hayat, published Tuesday

Now, I like to remain critical of stories like this, and indeed, there is a report of a report I was able to find in WND's article: Hamas 'in crisis' after report of Obama-aide meetings

in a well-circulated but false report, the Xinhua-China news agency claimed Hamas released a statement yesterday denying it held any meetings with Obama advisers.

I couldn't find the original Xinhua-China news agency story...

Barack has a history of shady associations
Barack is tight with Khalidi -who served as a mouthpiece for Yassar Arafat.
Barack has reversed positions on Israel multiple times.
Barack tried to negotiate a delayed pull out of Iraq -despite his immediate pull out rhetoric to his base.

According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.

"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview.

Obama may come out and tell us what he's going to do, but I don't think we can trust him...
