Is seems the Gov. didn't really visit a "military outpost" inside Iraq...


"WASHINGTON - Sarah Palin's visit to Iraq in 2007 consisted of a brief stop at a border crossing between Iraq and Kuwait, the vice presidential candidate's campaign said yesterday, in the second official revision of her only trip outside North America.

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.

But in response to queries about the details of her trip, campaign aides and National Guard officials in Alaska said by telephone yesterday that she did not venture beyond the Kuwait-Iraq border when she visited Khabari Alawazem Crossing, also known as "K-Crossing," on July 25, 2007.

Asked to clarify where she traveled in Iraq, Palin's spokeswoman, Maria Comella, confirmed that "She visited a military outpost on the other side of the Kuwait-Iraq border.""

This is what the Duopoly does. They both say whatever they think their base will want to hear, regardless of the truth, while bashing the other guy for doing the same.

McBama is a bad idea, which ever side of the coin you land on.

Well, you know the old saw, repeat a lie often enough and people beleive it. It seems the McCain/Palin team is sticking to that strategy.

Lie repeatedly and often while using fear and false patriotism to drive the whole thing.
