A must-read for Sunday

"Letter to Christopher Hitchens from a longtime Iraqi friend"

Meanwhile, the aspirant you support [Obama] has lied about his meetings, dealings and friendship with Antoine Rezko; has lied about his knowledge of Jeremiah Wright's views; has lied about his relationship and work with a Marxist pedagogue and bomber (as was his wife); has lied about his work with, and support for, ACORN (an organization being investigated in multiple cases of massive voter fraud, and 17 of whose employees have been convicted or indicted of voter fraud); has lied about his statements regarding meeting with Iran's rulers (and what type of message would it send to the overwhelming majority of Iranians -- whom you and I support -- who yearn for freedom, if we elect a man eager to meet with the rulers who are an embarrassment to Iranians); has lied about his positions on "the surge" in Iraq; has lied about his reasons for voting against funding for the troops (having previously pledged he wouldn't vote against such funding); has lied about his votes on legislation to provide medical care to a baby born after a "botched" abortion; and has even lied about his maternal grandmother's work - she was, in fact, a factory manager, and, for most of her life, a banker.

[...]

Finally, there is the Saddam-Obama connection. You, Christopher, are one of the few people who have brought up the connection of Obama financier Antoine Rezko to Nadhmi Auchi, one of Saddam's chief arms merchants. As I'm sure you know, it appears that Rezko was, basically, one of Auchi's "bag men," tasked with buying access and politicians -- of which, no doubt, Mr. Obama was a prime target. To put it plainly, Rezko was playing with Auchi's money (which he got from Saddam, who pilfered it from Iraqis), to do what Saddam did to all of Iraq, throughout the Middle East and around the world - buy politicians, journalists and others. Again, you know all of this, Christopher.

That was a powerful letter. Too bad many intelligent and decent Obama supporters are so blinded by their sheer and unmitigated hatred of George W. Bush that they fail to see what should be so obvious.

Thanks for posting this, George. It indeed is a must read.
