So, with all the debate prep she's being subject to, how come the brilliant Ms. Palin can't seem to get the Ticket's Talking Points thru her pretty skull?
In response to a question asked by a civilian on Saturday, "Do you think we should cross the border into Pakistan to fight terrorists there," she said (and I heard this in her own voice), "Absolutely. If the terrorists are in Pakistan, we should absolutely go in there and get them."
Did she not bother to watch the debate on Friday where McCain exoriated Obama for saying he'd make cross-border raids into Pakistan? Forget for a moment that he misrepresented Obama's stance, he made a big deal about what a mistake it was to SAY that OUT LOUD. Then his running mate goes and says that out loud the very next day.
She didn't even qualify it, as Obama did, to say that "if Bin Ladan, if top lieutenants of al Queda or the Taliban are in our sights, and Pakistan is unwilling or unable to act, then we should ..." No, Palin said unqualifyingly, "Absolutely, we should go in there and get them."
Go ahead, kool-aid drinkers, defend that. I dare you.
