Politico has the “denial”, although to me it reads more of an “interpretation” of the conversation. He said, He said, etc. (Although they do get in the obligatory McCain is running a sleazy campaign bit.)

A commenter on Ace of Spades posted a link to an MSNBC article by a reporter named Athena Jones, citing a press conference Obama held on June 16, 2008.

FLINT, Mich. — Obama reiterated his commitment to withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq during a telephone conversation this morning with the country’s foreign minister, he told reporters in a 10-minute press conference on the tarmac here.
