CNNThe Washington Times, a conservative newspaper, reported Friday that Obama told Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in June that an agreement between the United States and the leaders to allow U.S. troops to stay in the country after 2008 should not go into effect unless it had congressional approval.
The conversation occurred two weeks after Obama secured the Democratic nomination for president, the newspaper reported.
It was widely reported at the time that Obama had conversations with the Iraqi leadership and expressed similar views publicly at news conferences.
What is interesting in all this, is that at no point does Palin, or any other member of the McCain campaign, explain how this simple act of pointing out the obvious nature of our government (you know, that congress must ratify treaties) is delaying the agreement.
Oh, wait. McSame, McBush, duh! After 7 plus years of Bush, we already have a good example of his ideas, policies and qualities. It's all the same stale, failed thinking that led us to the current state of affairs.
They knows this, so they are left with no other option but to shrill loudly and venomously, making some of the most wildly unsubstantiated claims possible. I'd like to see the McCain's campaign's proof that this call, and subsequent statements in public appearances, interfered with the process of establishing a status of forces agreement.
There is an old adage; the squeaky wheel gets the attention. However, sometimes that means the squeaky wheel gets replaced.

But the campaign of Obama's Republican rival, Sen. John McCain, argued that Obama's call interfered with U.S. efforts to reach a "status of forces agreement" with the Iraqi government. The U.S. and Iraq have yet to announce a final agreement despite numerous reports that one was near.Again, in desperation, McCain is lashing out in attack instead of presenting his ideas, his policies, his qualities as a leader.

This is really the pot calling the kettle black. You have a special needs child and a pregnant teenager. You should take care of them but no you would rather go around with your pregnant daughter carrying that child like its hers. You took your children to a hockey game to hear the crowd booing you, and back to the pregnant daughter; come on America if your daughter told you she was pregnant and the father was a high school drop-out how would you really react. Her ambition knows no bounds. If I were McCain I would not let her walk behind me when coming down stairs...
