Sorry, Libs, but there was a memo between Odinga and Muslim leaders. When reports about the memo first surfaced, Odinga denied that it even existed. Then, when the memo was produced, Odinga admitted to signing it, but then changed his tune and claimed it was a forgery. Then, he changed stories again and released his own version of the memo. If all was innocent and kosher about the memo, why the changing stories from Odinga about it? Also, the version of the memo that Odinga published is not substantially different from the one cited in the OP.

And, your answers about the videos are evasive and lame. Among other things, the videos show a Kenyan official accusing Obama of being Odinga's "stooge." They also show Obama and Odinga campaigning together.
Oh, so "only" about 1500 people were killed and there was killing by both sides. Go read the links. Odinga incited violence by making wildly false claims. For more on Odinga's role in the violence, see the following:

Finally, you have not really touched the evidence discussed in the articles published in the Washington Times and the Jerusalem Post, not to mention the other articles.
your op is built on lies. they have been exposed. why is it you cant' accept that you have been duped?
Why can't you deal with the evidence? Just because a few liberal sites claim the memo was a forgery does not prove anything. All those sites are doing is taking Odinga's word that the memo was forged. If the memo really just said Odinga would protect Muslim rights, why the extreme secrecy, the denial that there was any memo at all, and the subsequent changing stories? Is not that Odinga's signature on the memo that was released first? Is it just a coincidence that in 2010 many of the provisions listed in the memo were in fact imposed? From an article in African Press International:
Perhaps most troubling is Odinga’s links to Islamic extremists in Kenya. According to Voice of America and the Evangelical Alliance of Kenya, on 8/29/07, Odinga signed a secret agreement (exposed 11/27) with Sheikh Abdullah Abdi of the National Muslim Leaders Forum (NAMLEF) in which he agreed to institute Islamic law in exchange for Abdi’s support (eakenya.org)–thereby potentially disenfranchising and curtailing the liberties of millions of Christian Kenyan women. Further, he promised that Muslims suspected of terrorism would be safe from extradition—thereby establishing a ‘safe haven’ for terrorists in Kenya. After the public outcry, Odinga denied signing a secret agreement. Angry at Odinga’s apparent repudiation, a member of NAMLEF subsequently released the agreement to the press.
Odinga then claimed the document was a forgery, but acknowledged a secret agreement had been signed in exchange for Muslim support. Finally, under constant pressure, Odinga released what he claimed was the actual document (“Real” MOU) a considerably watered down version of the original; but still anathema to many Christian groups. “In response to the revelations, The Evangelical Alliance of Kenya released a statement in which church leaders said Raila, in both MOUs, comes across as a presumptive Muslim president bent on forcing Islamic law, religion and culture down the throats of the Kenyan people in total disregard of the Constitutionally guaranteed rights of freedom of worship and equal protection of the law.” (

And what about all the other facts, such as Odinga's role in violence, Obama's stumping for him against the pro-Western and pro-Christian administration then in power, Obama's fundraising for Odinga, the Kenyan government's complaints about Obama's conduct while in Kenya, etc., etc.? What about those facts?

All you guys ever do when faced with facts you can't handle is you cite some liberal denials that don't even deal with most of the evidence, and then you pronounce yourselves the winners and refuse to deal with the substance of the rebuttals to your nonsense. This is a perfect example of that pattern.
