Posted at 9:40am on Jun. 18, 2008 Did Barack Obama not understand Zebari or is he just lying?

By Soren Dayton

Reporters are beginning to notice something quite disturbing. Either Barack Obama didn't understand what Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari was saying, Obama is lying about the meeting, or Zebari is lying. However, we have no reason to think that Zebari would be lying, while there is a pattern of Obama at least obscuring the truth about his Iraq position (again, think Samantha Powers), just as he is doing on trade (think Austen Goolsbee). Or he could just be ignorant about what he is talking about, which has become the Obama's campaign's defense about his Jerusalem "undivided" flip-flop under Palestinian pressure.

So which is it?
