CNN ^

(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.

Zerobama was in Iraq but still doesn't have a clue about what is going on there. This guy is going to be the DNC Titanic.

Hillary get the pantsuits dry-cleaned. You will begin campaigning right after the McCain inaugural.

“The Boston Globe reported Saturday that Palin visited the Iraqi side of a border crossing “

Ummm, wouldn't that mean that she was in Iraq?

Keeping in mind that she never said she was! One of her 'people' said it.

Not only did she not visit troops in Iraq, she was never a volunteer for Mother Teresa, not did she fight in the revolutionary war, nor was she there to help Jesus (the great community organizer of old) carry that cross up that hill.

.....and, like Tony Curtis, she has never been in Cliff Claven's kitchen.

Yeah and didn't obozo have some kind of an "exaggerated experience" about the same time HRC was talking about her "duck and cover" entry into a war zone?

I can't remember what the specifics were (hard to keep obozo's lies straight) but I seem to remember that he was caught in a whopper and he gave ground-covered by the MSM of course.

Actually, this is more insidious. The liberal media reports she went into Iraq. Then admits they got it wrong. Then accuses the McCain camp of lying about it because the media lied.

This is like me lying under oath in your trial, and then accusing you of being the liar when I am charged with perjury. It is beyond absurd.

At the vigil mass tonight one of the petitions was “for fair and just reporting by journalists and the media, let us pray to the Lord.” I was so surprised to hear this in church. I replied loudly, “Lord hear our prayer!” How timely. Perhaps someone in the Catholic church thought this should be added to the mass because of media bias on Christianity and church issues.

Check out the picture of Palin CNN has posted with their story. Talk about making a beautiful woman look ugly. The story claims that an aide in Alaska said she went to Iraq. What a load of s-—.

According to the gifted and supremely talented orator / singer / disk spinning P.Diddy...there are no crack heads or black people in Alaska.
