Palin to Iraq: Did She or Didn’t She?
FOX News ^ | September 13, 2008 | Shushannah Walshe

Posted on 09/13/2008 8:15:29 PM PDT by Iron Munro

"In response to a Boston Globe article today, the Palin camp has been forced to clarify exactly where Sarah Palin traveled in her July 2007 trip to the Middle East to visit Alaskan National Guard troops"

"Last summer, Governor Palin traveled to Kuwait where she visited Alaskan National Guard troops deployed to the war in Iraq at Camp Arifjen.

While she was there she traveled to the K Crossing on the Kuwait-Iraq border, and a quarter mile into Iraq. According to the General who traveled with her, while she was there she presided over a re-enlistment ceremony of an Alaskan National Guard soldier.

En route back to the United States, she traveled to the Ramstein Air Base in Germany. While in Germany, Governor Palin visited wounded soldiers at the Landstuhl military hospital."

"Tommy Vietor, Obama campaign spokesman responded strongly to the initial report that Palin did not cross the border into Iraq:

"They said she visited Iraq, but today we learned that she only stopped at the border. Americans are starting to wonder, is there anything the McCain campaign isn’t lying about?"

I quarter mile into Iraq is a quarter mile into Iraq. The so-called “journalist” should be forced to issue a retraction and an apology.

Character assassination is SO much better than regular assassination: you can assassinate someone’s character every single day, whereas you can assassinate a person only once.

Oh, sorry. MY reading comprehension is suffering from a caffeine shortage. The OBAMA campaign should be forced to issue an apology and a retraction.

Ah, but she really DID go into Iraq and the Obama campaign is lying and saying that she didn’t.

"I have to admit I’m totally confused now. Did she or did she not cross the border and go into Iraq?"

She was a quarter mile INSIDE Iraq. To get INSIDE a country you must cross it's border, yes?

Foxnews is starting to get “F”s in their ‘fair and balanced’ hype as well. They’ll soon be joining ABCCBSNBCPMSNBCCNBCCNN ‘deleted channels’ list. It’s cheaper than bullet holes in the screen.

The liberal media so far have ‘shot down’ every liberal media strawman that the liberal media has posed about Gov. Palin, that mean nasty conservative Alaskan. Soon they’ll be able to cover the facts, after they’ve completely vetted their strawman DU/Kos funnies.

It sounds to me that Sarah Palin went farther into Iraq than did John Kerry go into Cambodia.

Priceless...that line is now seared into my memory.

Heh...I heard that rumor too...McC showed up on the View (99.9% of the country has never seen it). I think his comment before the show was...Hanoi couldn't break my spirit, neither can Whooopppeee!

Oh, and you've got it all wrong, it's not:

The dems now have a theme: McC and P are LIARS, LIARS LIARS.

It's: The dems now have a theme: McC and P... LIAR, LIAR PANTS ON FIRE.

Arifjen is in Kuwait.

I went back & read that sentence: "Last summer, Governor Palin traveled to Kuwait where she visited Alaskan National Guard troops deployed to the war in Iraq at Camp Arifjen."

I think it is just badly worded (seems like no journalist takes grammar or spelling anymore). It's trying to state that she visited troops being deployed to Iraq, while they were still at Camp Arifjen in Kuwait.

Relying on the ignorance of the masses, how can they live with themselves.

Think Snake Oil salesmen at a carney, drug pusher in a school yard, serial rapist, the NEA, union thug soliciting union membership card, blackjewishmuslimLaRazaillegalalien, Congressman, but I repeat myself.

Was she under fire like Hillary?

No mention of that in any article I have seen.

And Sarah certainly has not exaggerated her resume as have Hillary, Obama and Biden.

But everyone knows that since she was first introduced as the VP nominee she has been under continuous fire, dodging incoming dirt clods and bovine excrement from democrats, their media surrogates, and forum trolls.

So how I read this is that Sarah Palin went to Iraq and Kuwait as a lowly, newly elected, governor before Obama went there as a Senator of three years.

Tommy Vietor, thanks for bringing our attention to this. This makes Obama look even worse than he already did!
