OBAMA-REZKO AND MEDIA IGNORANCE OF "THE CHICAGO WAY"
The mainstream media is not reporting on Obama’s links to Rezko and Auchi. Auchi is a UK Billionaire with long term ties to Rezko. Auchi also had extensive ties to Saddam Hussein . Auchi helped facilitate the purchase of Obama’s home via a loan to Rezko wife for the purchase of property that was adjacent to Obama’s home. Given the strong ties between Obama and Rezko and Rezko and Auchi it is up to Obama to release all correspondence , contacts and financial dealings he had with Rezko and Auchi via Rezko. It would also be of interest to know if Saddam Hussein was trying to influence USA foreign policy via his contacts with Auchi.
Obama's constant refrain about being right about being against the Iraq war warrant further scrutiny in light of Obama's links to Rezko and Auchi. Post 9/11 many considered Saddam a real and imminent threat to the world and the US. This was based on the overwhelming conclusion of world wide intelligence agencies that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and was in contact with Al Qaeda. In addition Saddam repeatedly violated sixteen United Nations Security Council Resolutions (UNSCRs) and had committed numerous human rights violations including the use of chemical weapons to kill his own people. Yet, despite this and the fact the majority of Obama's Democratic cohorts supported the Iraq war Obama stood against taking any military action against Saddam.
In hindsight maybe Obama was right but the reality is Saddam is no longer a threat , Al Qaeda is on the run in Iraq, and the US has not had another 9/11. So while many have strong arguments that the war in Iraq was a mistake, one could also make a case that the war in Iraq was the right decision. Time alone will render the final verdict. Again, given Obama's claim that his judgment of the Iraq war was the correct judgment, further scrutiny into what his logic was to stand against the Iraq war is fair play.
