Palin to Iraq: Did She or Didn’t She?

"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?"

"While she was there she traveled to the K Crossing on the Kuwait-Iraq border, and a quarter mile into Iraq."

Remember that "Reading Comprehension" line on grade school report cards?

Understands what he reads?

I bet Tommy Vietor got straight "F" grades on that one.

[Perdogg]

This is desperation now.

[goldstategop]

Its much ado about nothing. The Democrats' message is being drowned out in their bitter attacks on Sarah. She's in their OODA loop and they can't shake her out of it. A plus for our side!

Ummmmm....I'm sorry....what was the question again?

[markedmannerf]

Good point. I think this whole thing is absurd

[gov_bean_ counter]

Even so, she has spent more time in Iraq that Obie has.

[jim-x]

Palin has faced criticism for her limited travel outside of the United States and for obtaining her first passport last year.

At least her first passport is an AMERICAN passport!

[acapesket]

Typical Glob story... all BS all the time.

[cybervyk]

Keep the baseless attacks comin'. Lord knows it's worked so well for you guys thus far.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Arifjen is in Kuwait.

[zimfam007]

She NEVER stated that she went to Iraq... she said that she visited wounded troops in GERMANY and then troops in KUWAIT waiting to HEAD TO Iraq

[Jeff Head]

These idiots are completely desperate and it is obvious to everyone watching. All of it will only enhance Palin in the eyes of most of the public.

That's because of something the left and the elite in the MSM and DNC cannot comprehend and are blind to.

Sarah connects with everyday people. She was mother who wanted to make a difference in her community and joined the PTA and it went from there. She didn't need an ivy league degree in Political Science, she didn't need a law degree, she didn’t need rich connections, she just needed honesty, integrity, her faith, and a desire to serve.

She didn't seek wealth, power, or high position...it just happened and that connects with most Americans of all stripes (outside of the leftists and elitists whom she threatens) who in their hearts want to try and help their communities and improve things for their kids.

SARAH PALIN TRUMPS OBAMA-BIDEN

While in Germany, Governor Palin visited wounded soldiers at the Landstuhl military hospital."

Which is more than Obama did. He was too busy making out with that German babe in the fitness center.

[Jeff Head]

But 1/4 mile inside Iraq is not.

[scooby321]

Stuck-on-stupid. Is this the change Obama is talking about?

[rabidralph]

LOL! Reading comprehension. I remember those tests.

[nobama08]

That picture just makes me proud to be an American.

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.

Looks like the General confirmed that she went a quarter mile into Iraq to preside over a re-enlistment ceremony. Is Obama calling the General a liar now too?

[gov_bean_ counter]

Agreed. I would guess that reenlistment ceremony puts her in Iraq longer than Obie was.

[al baby]

Ok lets open up Obamas passport and Palins RFING NOW I am so sick of this shit
