Why am I going back to 2005? Because in June 2005 the highest elected office Palin held at the time was Mayor of Wassilla, Alaska - population 6,400. Also at that time she had never stepped foot outside the US.
Since you feel the need to present us with basic geography lessons, do you believe Canada is part of the US?
(not)rightofcenter - let's compare how many times Obama went to Iraq (1) vs McCain (IIRC 8). Then compare their motivations for going: Obama was shamed into making the trip; McCain was doing his job. Then let's compare what each does on their visits. Obama played basketball. McCain met with troops ranking from Private to General and listened to their concerns and McCain also met with Iraqi leaders.
McCain incorporated their concerns and his observations into a plan for victory in Iraq (THE SURGE) that even Obama is forced to acknowledge has "succeeded beyond our wildest dreams". To John McCain and Gen Petraeus, the surge wasn't a wild dream, it was a PLAN.
I wondered if I was dreaming when I thought I heard Obama acknowledging that the troop surge has succeeded beyone our wildest dreams. Nice to know I wasn't hearing things.
Visiting Alaskan National Guard troops in KUWAIT (NOT IRAQ) that were not under her command and control is good enough to understand the geopolitcal complexities of IRAQ (NOT KUWAIT) yuh?
She visited Iraqi theater of operation soldiers in Kuwait. Before Obama turned visits into a political game. Spin it.
The point is that this was not Obama's only trip to Iraq - it was his latest trip to Iraq - Palin has never been there.
And before someone says it again Kuwait is not Iraq!
Could you please give me the other dates that Obama went to Iraq? I hadn't heard of his other trips and could have sworn I heard the reporters saying it was his first trip. I do know he has been to other countries but for some reason was thinking this was his first and only trip to Iraq. Thanks

Canada is not a part of the US. Happy? But what proof do you have that she has been to Canada? And by the way, 18 year olds in NY and surrounding states go to Canada all the time for booze and strip clubs so bad example.

What's to spin? Please read the title of the thread - the question is "How many times has Palin been to Iraq?".
Nobody has the b%$#'s to answer honestly - the answer is ZERO, ZIP, NIL, NADA, ZIPPO,...
