Oops, one less "National Security Credential" for Gov. Palin

A lot has been talked about "readiness" and "experience" this campaign. Symbolic gestures like visits to war zones have been used to communicate national security cred. But these photo-ops can be put in perspective by dishonesty and ignorance.
Unfortunately, the Republican Vice Presidential nominee displayed both.

1) Sarah Palin did not set foot in Iraq. Her campaign aides said on her behalf that she visited a "military outpost" in Iraq. The evidence now shows that she was at a border crossing in Kuwait, and the records show that she was not granted permission to step across.

2) On September 11, 2008 she told a group of soldiers deploying to Iraq that they will ‘defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans.’” “America can never go back to that false sense of security that came before September 11, 2001,”. People still say that?

Barack Obama has consistently told the same line since before the invasion, that it was the wrong decision for the wrong reasons. He is temperamentally and intellectually far more qualified to be commander in chief than his opponents.
