Obama camp suggests lies over Palin visit to Iraq
By GLEN JOHNSON – 4 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (AP) — The question of whether Sarah Palin has ever been to Iraq pushed Obama aides Saturday to accuse the McCain campaign of outright lies, distortions and distractions to the American people.
Since Republican presidential nominee John McCain tapped the Alaska governor to be his running mate on Aug. 29, questions about her experience have been fueled by her relatively brief tenure in office, as well as a dearth of foreign travel.
Palin made a well-documented trip to Kuwait and Germany last year to visit U.S. troops, and over time, the governor and her staff have revealed she also visited Canada and Mexico. Meanwhile, her aides clarified that a purported visit to Ireland was little more than a refueling stop during her trip to the Middle East.

The big difference is she visited the injured tropps while odumbo made excuses not too
I thought Obama was going to focus on issues:?
Good point. Now the MSM needs to report it that way . . .
(crickets?)
Another media distortion. There is no clarification here. They said from the outset that it was a refueling trip in responding to media questions about Palin's out of country travels. This is infuriating.
Now THAT's audacity. First they steal the Obama campaign slogan now they steal the Obama campaign strategy.

geesh. this is crazy.
She never claimed she visited Iraq.
That will be the next ad coming out. Everytime odumbo opens a door he gets kicked in his A@@ for it
So the best they can do is gripe about a technicality of whether she actually did or didn't cross over the exact Kuwait/Iraq line? This is lame. The Obamaniacs have no idea what they are doing.
Whaaa, whaa, boo hoo boo hoo.
Mommie, mommie, look what she did............
Can’t the Democrats front an adult for president?

Ive never heard of Palin claiming to have gone to Iraq. She simply says she visited troops serving in Iraq as well as Kuwait where her men are stationed. Maybe Obamamania is hallucinating
I do give them points for creativity. I’ve never seen this done before.
So now a regioanl liberal media source makes up stories from unnamed sources. And days later the national wires correct it as some sort of scandal.
Pretty slick.
These people are insane.
Heh, heh. Why is it my first instinct to not trust anything the AP says.
They are coming unhinged, because she never claimed she was in Iraq, and her son has been deployed to Iraq. So what exactly are they trying to say with this attack?
Did Obama ever visit the troops as a state Senator?
NO!
She at least went to Kuwait and to Germany. These attacks are very weak...VERY WEAK. McCain/Palin are way ahead of Obama/Biden on the national security issue.
The media is going to make it hell for the next 7 weeks...pushing propaganda for Obama.
But - did she really spend Christmas in Cambodia???
