Palin has ZERO foreign policy experience, and it was solely out of politeness and party loyalty that Rice didn’t point that out.

And what was Reagan's and Bush's foreign policy experience while governors

Bush and even Chaney were caught completely off guard by the muslim threat to this country--even after the World Trade Tower bombing under Clinton --the USS Cole--Kabul Towers etc etc

It was hardly even mentioned in the campaign in 2000 if at all

Reagan was old enough to have experienced a lot more history than Palin, and his several years of military service during WWII, although entirely in the US due to his poor eyesight, included extensive work in production of army training films, which certainly wouldn’t have been focusing on domestic activities during wartime. In Bush’s case, he had a front row seat during his father’s Presidency, and extraordinary access to his father’s experience and hindsight re the first Iraq war. He also certainly had plenty of experience in social situations with foreign dignitaries.

Was the muslim threat to this country not mentioned because they didn't consider it a threat or because it would have been spun as 'racist'?
