Palin Contradicts McCain's Pakistan Policy

When she wasn't getting coached by Charles Gibson, or refusing to answer his questions, Sarah Palin directly contradicted her own candidate by saying she would do whatever it takes to stop terrorists in Pakistan:

We must do whatever it takes, and we must not blink, Charlie. in making the tough decisions of where we go, and even who we target.

Her running-mate, John McCain, said the exact opposite this summer, preferring not to irk the Pakistani Government by going after Osama Bin Laden:

I'm not going to go there. And here's why, because Pakistan is a sovereign nation.

A closer look shows that Palin is actually perfectly in-sync with Barack Obama, who said last year:

They are plotting to strike again... If we have actionable intelligence about high-value terrorist targets and President Musharraf won't act, we will.

So when she's not threatening war with Russia, or forgetting the Bush Doctrine, she's contradicting her own candidate and agreeing with the opposition? Seriously this is just sad.

Biden...vo­ted FOR the Iraq invasion.

Obama spoke up as a state senator against the Iraq invasion, supposedly.

See, no agreement there.

Do you think Palin ever made a comment about Pakistan before she was VP? Do you think she ever even though about Pakistan? One of the most frustrating things about her is that we can't look at her record on these issues because she has no record.

Personally I'm really leery about unilateral strikes in Pakistan.

Still, one has to admit that this gets chalked up in the "Obama turned out to be right" column of the foreign affairs debate.

Yeah, thanks Patrick. Keep shinning the light. The McPalin ticket will soon implode under the lies and contradictions. Expose them. They are phonies.
