Here is a pro-Obama article on this issue http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5hi9TDNHvuBZpFsO8ZbiFYsnbIl3A This article while denying the double-talk claim confirms that Obama did ask for a delay in troop withdrawals - Wendy Morigi from the Obama camp is cited as the source of this one: "But Obama's national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri's article bore "as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial." "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." Lawrence Helm
