With an article that was writen by the NY Post it is claimed that Obama pretty much broke the law (Logan Act) when he went to Iraq. This is not only breaking in the U.S., but it's published in Europe and Asia too. This is what was writen and pretty much it's the same throughout the world:
Paper: Obama Tried to Stall U.S. Troop Withdrawal
2008-09-15 03:31am
Though he has often publicly called for a speedy withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Iraq, Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama has quietly pushed the Iraqi government to delay any agreement to withdraw American troops, the New York Post reported Monday.
According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July, the paper reported.
"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari told the Post.
Obama had argued that Congress should be involved in any negotiations to withdraw U.S. forces and that it was in everyone's best interest to not have an agreement negotiated by the Bush administration because of its "state of weakness and political confusion."
But Zebari said his government did not want to wait.
"As an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open," he told the paper.
The paper said Obama also tried to persuade U.S. commanders, including the top American general in command of all operations in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, to suggest a "realistic withdrawal date," but they would not.
If this true and a BIG IF, Democrats better tell Hillary that she's on deck with only 50 some odd days left. If you don't know what the Logan act is, look it up, it's a Felony.
Also if it's trure Obama just USED our Troops for Political gain and pretty much said that they are expendable.
