From Drudge Report:

Washington Times (will report on) Friday that Obama secretly tried to sway Iraqi government to ignore Bush deal on keeping troops in Iraq…

Barack Obama really needs to be charged with violating the Logan Act.

UPDATE 1: Washington Times

At the same time the Bush administration was negotiating a still elusive agreement to keep the U.S. military in Iraq, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama tried to convince Iraqi leaders in private conversations that the president shouldn’t be allowed to enact the deal without congressional approval.

There are three pages to this story, however, Barack Obama, as a United States Senator, does not have the authority to negotiate on behalf of the United States.

Move America Forward targets Obama for meddling in Iraq.

Posted by Carlos C. on Wednesday, September 17th, 2008 at 8:11 am

Even though I agree with Move America Forward’s message, they should have pointed out that violence in Iraq has decreased, thanks to the surge. However, Obama really did try to play politics with the Iraqi war and our troops. Obama wanted Iraqi officials to stop negotiating with President Bush on the matter of U.S. troop removal until after the elections. Obama does not have the authority to speak for the executive branch of the U.S. government! Hopefully, Obama gets charged for violating the Logan Act, which specifically states no unauthorized U.S. citizen can negotiate on behalf of the executive branch of U.S. government. Obama must and should serve three years in prison.
