On the day that the President of the United States is overseas about to meet with the President of Iraq---the New York Times LEAKS a Classified memo to undermine the President's visit and his foreign policy. In the process, they have injured the United States of America and our military.
Good God: what will this newspaper do next? Who are these people? Is there some al Qaeda members on the Editorial Board of the NYTimes??? They are very, very dangerous people:

Here's the article about the LEAK:

Bush Aide’s Memo Doubts Iraqi Leader


And here's the results from that LEAK. The NYTimes seems quite pleased with themselves:

Bush-Maliki Talks Are Postponed

By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG
Published: November 29, 2006

AMMAN, Jordan, Nov. 29 —The first meeting in a scheduled two-day summit between President Bush and Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki of Iraq was canceled at the last minute today, against the backdrop of threats by a radical Shiite cleric to boycott the Maliki government and the disclosure of a classified White House memo that was highly critical of Mr. Maliki."

From the second article.

And then in the first I got the impression that the memo was leaked prior to the Times getting ahold of it... seeing that they were talking about its effects as though they began before the article was written.

by planting the negative information about Maliki in the mainstream media - nice way to avoid subjecting him to public criticism

again folks, it's not what the administration says ... watch what its functionaries do!

Of course they had to run for their lives.

JP, get a grip on reality and yourself. The leak was not made by the NYT is was by an adiministration official. So using your logic is the administration being treasonous?

Okay---so maybe I jumped to conclusions. When this first broke, it's the way it seemed. How could I have possibly jumped to such conclusions about the New York Times???

What a moron. You can’t even say his foreign policy is bad because he does not have one.

U.S.-Iraq summit abruptly canceled

"AMMAN, Jordan -
President Bush's high-profile meeting with Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki on Wednesday was canceled in a stunning turn of events after disclosure of U.S. doubts about the Iraqi leader's capabilities and a political boycott in Baghdad protesting his attendance.

Instead of two days of talks, Bush and al-Maliki will have breakfast and a single meeting followed by a news conference on Thursday morning, the White House said.

The abrupt cancellation was an almost unheard-of development in the high-level diplomatic circles of a U.S. president, a king and a prime minister. There was confusion — and conflicting explanations — about what happened.

Bush had been scheduled to meet in a three-way session with al-Maliki and Jordan's King Abdullah II on Wednesday night, and had rearranged his schedule to be in Amman for both days for talks aimed at reducing the spiral of violence in
Iraq.

The last-minute cancellation was not announced until Bush had already come to Raghadan Palace and posed for photographs alone with the king. . . .

Two senior officials traveling with al-Maliki, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information, said the prime minister had been reluctant to travel to Jordan in the first place and decided, once in Amman, that he did not want "a third party" involved in talks about subjects specific to the U.S.-Iraqi relationship.

With Maliki already gone from the palace, Bush had an abbreviated meeting and dinner with the king before heading early to his hotel.

The cancellation came after the disclosure of a classified White House memo, written Nov. 8 by Hadley. In one particularly harsh section, Hadley asserted: "The reality on the streets of Baghdad suggests Maliki is either ignorant of what is going on, misrepresenting his intentions or that his capabilities are not yet sufficient to turn his good intentions into action.""
