In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a "Strategic Framework Agreement" governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office, she said.
In the face of resistance from Bush, the Democrat has long said that any such agreement must be reviewed by the US Congress as it would tie a future administration's hands on Iraq.
"Barack Obama has never urged a delay in negotiations, nor has he urged a delay in immediately beginning a responsible drawdown of our combat brigades," Morigi said.
How is this not a violation of the Logan Act?
A sitting Senator and Presidential candidate for the opposition party is involving himself in negotiations with a foreign government, and urging a course of action different from that of the sitting Administration.
These are exactly the kind of shenanigans the Logan Act is supposed to prevent!
Instead of denying the intial report, the Obama campaign just confirmed it!
How is telling the Iraqis that they should not "rush through" any negotiations different from urging a delay in negotiations?
This is so blatant and irresponsible, and of course Obamamedia is going to cover for him, because no one will grill the campaign on the utter contradiction of this statement, or the fact that Obama has just admitted he has violated the Logan Act.
“But Obama’s national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri’s article bore “as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial.”

This is absolutely traitorous, heinous, and reprehensible! His spokewoman admitted to everything the Obama campaign just denied. They need to be called to the carpet on this one bigtime - in stump speeches, commercials, debates, and possible legal action against Obama.
I agree with everything you posted.
Unfortunately the MSM doesn’t and it isn’t being picked up yet.
There are many blogs and bloggers that are trying to rectify that as we speak.
