Palin agrees with Obama, and not McCain, on going into Pakistan to catch terrorists

Oops. It seems that Sarah Palin today agreed with Barack Obama's position on chasing terrorists into Pakistan, with or without the permission of the Pakistani government. She told ABC's Charlie Gibson that "all options are on the table" when pressed about this very question. Charlie was tricking her, and she didn't know it, because she knows nothing about foreign policy or national politics. If she had, she'd have known that Gibson was really asking her if she agreed with Obama or McCain. Palin, stupidly, faked her answer, and agreed with Obama.

First, here is what Obama said earlier this year:

“Let me make this clear. There are terrorists holed up in those mountains, that murdered 3,000 Americans,” he said, continuing with resolve: “If we have actionable intelligence about high-valued terrorist targets and President Musharraf will not act, we will.”

Here is what McCain had to say about Obama:

Obama at the time was talking about attacking known al-Qaeda terrorist targets, not suggesting mounting an attack on the country or government of Pakistan. Still, he caught flak shortly thereafter from some on both sides of the aisle for discussing the merits of attacking a sovereign ally.

And McCain saw no distinction, while speaking with reporters, today. “That’s still bombing Pakistan,” he said when pressed on the topic. McCain then sidestepped, discussing the merits of diplomacy. “The first thing you do is you don’t tell people what you’re going to do; you make plans, and you work with the other country that is your ally and friend, which Pakistan is.”

Here is what Palin said, in the video below:

"If there is legitimate and enough intelligence that tells us that a strike is imminent against American people, we have every right to defend our country. In fact, the president has the obligation, the duty to defend."

Now watch Palin today tell Charlie Gibson the same thing, that she basically agrees with Obama that going into Pakistan, or "bombing Pakistan" as McCain calls it, is on the table. Oops. Also, note in this video that Palin has no idea what the Bush doctrine is, so she tries to fake it. It's painful.
