Another day brings a new listing of lies John McCain and Sarah Palin have been caught in. The above picture of Sarah Palin was taken in Kuwait, not in Iraq. Although John McCain has been citing an imaginary trip by Sarah Palin to Iraq as evidence that she has something resembling foreign policy experience, The Boston Globe reports, “Sarah Palin’s visit to Iraq in 2007 consisted of a brief stop at a border crossing between Iraq and Kuwait.” The Globe notes:
Following her selection last month as John McCain’s running mate, aides said Palin had traveled to Ireland, Germany, Kuwait, and Iraq to meet with members of the Alaska National Guard. During that trip she was said to have visited a “military outpost” inside Iraq. The campaign has since repeated that Palin’s foreign travel included an excursion into the Iraq battle zone.
This is the second time Palin has been embarrassed by details of her imaginary trips coming out. Previously it was revealed that Palin’s visit to Ireland was limited to a refueling stop there. Not only is the McCain campaign repeating the mistakes that Hillary Clinton made in resorting to a dishonest negative campaign, but they are even looking foolish in a manner reminiscent of Clinton’s claims of having been pinned down by sniper fire in Bosnia.
Update: John and Sarah’s Imaginary Friends
Really? I’d heard that this picture shows Palin with Osama bin Laden in her sites. If only those dad-burned democrats hadn’t blocked that spending bill, she would’ve had a bullet in the chamber! Durned democrats…! Yup.
