Obama Camp Shrieking About 1320 Feet
Did the lovely Sarah go to Iraq? That's the burning question of the day for the Obama camp. She attended a re-enlistment ceremony during her trip to the Kuwaiti border with Iraq. And the question is whether she went a quarter mile across the border or not.
They've got to be kidding. At least she didn't say it was seared, seared into her memory...Yahoo: On Saturday, a Palin aide told The Associated Press the governor also traveled one-quarter mile into Iraq during her July 2007 trip to participate in a re-enlistment ceremony for a member of the Alaska National Guard. ....The (Boston) Globe said campaign aides and members of the Alaska National Guard subsequently explained that she did not venture beyond the Iraq/Kuwait border when she visited the Khabari Alawazem Crossing on July 25, 2007....
The discrepancy prompted a blistering memorandum to campaign reporters by aides to Democratic nominee Barack Obama..."Since naming Gov. Palin as their vice presidential nominee, the McCain campaign has distorted, distracted and outright lied to the American people about her record..."
