(CNN) -- Sarah Palin did not visit troops in Iraq, a spokesperson for the Republican vice presidential nominee confirmed Saturday, as new details emerged about the extent of the Alaska governor's foreign travel. Gov. Sarah Palin's aide confirmed to CNN details of her foreign travel Saturday.
Gov. Sarah Palin's aide confirmed to CNN details of her foreign travel Saturday.
In July of last year, Palin left North America for the first time to visit Alaskan troops stationed in Kuwait. Palin officials originally said her itinerary included U.S. military installations or outposts in Germany and Kuwait, and that she had visited Ireland.
A Palin aide in Alaska said Iraq was also one of the stops on that trip.
The Boston Globe reported Saturday that Palin visited the Iraqi side of a border crossing -- but never journeyed past the checkpoint. Earlier, campaign aides confirmed reports that Palin's time in Ireland on that trip had actually been a refueling stop.

End of story.
Liberal media tag team trick... One reports it deep inside of a non story. Then AP/CNN splashes headline across the wires as if she is guilty.
This is going to be ugly.
All things one would expect a Governor of Alaska to do.
is this a story to contradict Palin’s claim (that she never made) of visiting Iraq? or is this just a way for the MSM to underscore the fact that she never visited the troops in Iraq but Nobama did?
John Kerry crossed into Cambodia.....Oh, wait.....
Unclear what they’re up to.

GIBSON: Did you ever travel outside the country prior to your trip to Kuwait and Germany last year?
PALIN: Canada, Mexico, and then, yes, that trip, that was the trip of a lifetime to visit our troops in Kuwait and stop and visit our injured soldiers in Germany. That was the trip of a lifetime and it changed my life.
when she was in Germany she visited the injured troops odumbo didnt
Yeah. All the photos I’ve seen about the trip were captioned that she was visiting troops in Q8. I wonder why CNN never picked up on that. Illiterate?
she was never in Iraq....She was in the Iraq theater of Operations that included Kuwait.
Who put this in the GLOBE? Didn’t know what they were talking about.
PALIN: Canada, Mexico, and then, yes, that trip, that was the trip of a lifetime to visit our troops in Kuwait and stop and visit our injured soldiers in Germany. That was the trip of a lifetime and it changed my life.
See!! - there it is!!! you have to read between the lines...
IMO, the media is going to absolutely destroy themselves this election. Gibson has just accomplished it for himself.
The Obomination ONLY went to Iraq and his “world tour” ONLY because McCain challenged him on his foreign policy. Prior to going there and NOT visiting the troops he had never been there either.
You made my day. You should replace Leno.
At least Gibson is good for something...

Exactly. None of the photos I’ve seen are ever identified as her being in Iraq - all the photos clearly identify Kuwait. They are the ones officially posted on the Alaskan website.
So, the media gets it wrong again and decides to blame her office for it.
They “assumed”, of course.
OMG!!!!!!!!!
Form a lynch party.
But, not for Sarah Palin, for the leftist media.
One wonders what would be uncovered if they had looked half as deep into B HO as they are against this woman.
Major non-scandals making headlines while a Marxist gets a free ride.
Obama’s photo ops with foreign leaders makes him qualified?! Oh come on this is stupid.
she will definitely be the best looking VP this country ever had :)
