New Move America Forward ad hits Obama on explosive charge over his interference in Iraq

Topics: Political News and commentaries

At the very least, whether effective or not, the ad helps get the issue out into the open:

As Ed Morrissey points out:

The problem with what Obama did is twofold. First, Senator Obama has no authority to negotiate on behalf of the executive branch, which has sole authority to conduct foreign policy. Second and most important, Obama attempted to interfere against the interests of the United States. He can ask all the questions he wants, but when Obama started pressing Iraqi officials to stop negotiations with the executive branch -- in other words, break one level of diplomatic contact and freeze a military alliance in time of war -- that crossed a line and clearly violated the Logan Act. It also makes clear that Obama would do anything to get elected, even harm diplomatic relations between the US and an ally.

Violation of the Logan Act, yes, see the story get attention in the media, no. So why not?
