Palin Supports Cross-Border Pakistan Raids
September 28, 2008 8:11 AM
ABC News' Imtiyaz Delawala Reports: During an unscheduled stop at a Philadelphia cheesesteak shop last night, Republican vice presidential nominee Gov. Sarah Palin endorsed cross-border raids by U.S. troops into Pakistan to prevent terrorists from crossing the border into Afghanistan.
Palin made a stop last night at Tony Luke's, an outdoor cheesesteak joint in South Philly, where she grabbed dinner with her daughter Willow and chatted with customers.
According to the pool report of the stop, one customer there named Michael Rovito briefly pressed Palin on her position on Pakistan, and how she would handle attacks on American troops in Afghanistan by terrorists based in Pakistan's Waziristan border region.
"It's working with Zardari to make sure that we’re all working together to stop the guys from coming in over the border. And we'll go from there," Palin said of working with new Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, who she met in New York last week.
When asked by Rovito whether the U.S. should conduct cross-border raids into Pakistan fom Afghanistan, Palin responded, "If that’s what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should."
Senators John McCain and Barack Obama got into a heated exchange on Pakistan at their first presidential debate on Friday, with McCain harshly criticizing Obama for promoting in a speech last year making military strikes on terrorist targets in Pakistan with or without the Pakistani government's permission.
"He said that he would launch military strikes into Pakistan," McCain said of Obama. "Now, you don't do that. You don't say that out loud. If you have to do things, you have to do things, and you work with the Pakistani government."
"And I guarantee you I would not publicly state that I'm going to attack them," McCain added.
Obama responded that "nobody talked about attacking Pakistan," saying his speech last year on Pakistan endorsed the idea that "if the United States has al Qaeda, bin Laden, top-level lieutenants in our sights, and Pakistan is unable or unwilling to act, then we should take them out."
"This is not an easy situation. You've got cross-border attacks against U.S. troops," Obama added. "And we've got a choice. We could allow our troops to just be on the defensive and absorb those blows again and again and again, if Pakistan is unwilling to cooperate, or we have to start making some decisions."
Obama's position on cross-border raids sounds similar to the one stated by Palin last night, although Palin did not explicitly say whether she would support raids without the Pakistani government's permission.
When asked in her interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson this month whether the U.S. has the right to go into Pakistan without the approval of the Pakistani government, Palin said that the U.S. has to "exercise all options."
Gibson pressed her on the point, asking, "Is that a yes, that you think we have the right to go across the border with or without the approval of the Pakistani government, to go after terrorists who are in the Waziristan area?"
"I believe that America has to exercise all options in order to stop the terrorists who are hell bent on destroying America and our allies," Palin responded. "We have got to have all options out there on the table. Military strike has got to be a last option. But where we are today, in a very dangerous and volatile world, all options have got to be on the table."
In addition to meeting and greeting customers and store employees, Palin was asked by a reporter while waiting in line to order if she had watched the first presidential debate on Friday.
"I did, I did. Oh, McCain did awesome," Palin responded. "He was great. He was absolutely on his game."
Palin said she was ready and looking forward to her own debate this Thursday with Sen. Joe Biden.
"I am. Look forward to it. Look forward to getting to speak to Americans through that debate, absolutely," Palin said.
According to the pool report, Palin and her daughter Willow ordered two cheesestakes (whiz and onions) but did not eat at the shop before heading back to their hotel for the night.

Wow she agrees with Obama rather then McCain. Maybe Jake should start a "Oh that Sarah" series. That is if he can figure out what she said.

Palin said she supports cross border to chase terrorists. It means the terrorists are in the both sides that Obama still does not get it.

Obama in the debate said "General Petraeus has done a brilliant job". Obama's sidekicks have in the past called the General "Betrayus". Where is the AD demanding Obama APLOLOGIZE to the General NOW... This line could have been the SOUND BITE McCain needed....

Steve,
That is Obama's way of saying he doesn't know diddily. He did that with Clinton too. Obama thinks it makes him sound like he is grading their answers.
But you left out Obama admitting he abused the earmark process.
"Senator McCain is absolutely right that the earmarks process has been abused…. That is why I suspended them".
Posted by: geevill | Sep 28, 2008 8:55:02 AM
Steve: Nice try, but you left out the FULL sentence in each case. That junk you, McCain and the rest of you Republicans are trying to pass off probably works for someone who hasn't seen the debate.
Intelligent people knows it was more to it then just sound bites. You Republicans are so desperate that it's sickening to point that you want to attempt to insult the intelligence of the American people.
Besides, MORE people are talking about McCain not having the guts to look Obama in the eye or look at him during the whole debate and how desrespectful that was.
Posted by: vote4peace | Sep 28, 2008 8:59:38 AM
Kudos to McCain for telling Obama to "shut up" about things like "we'll take them out" when referring to irresponsible and negligent comments about our ALLIES. I couldn't believe what I was hearing when Obama said it. Least McCain has DISCERNMENT. Liberals: get out the dictionary and look the word up.
Palin IS answering Gibson and the rest very intelligently and with discernment. To ask someone what they would do if this or that is stupid because the correct answer, in a campaign should outline steps to making a decision, ie, "I will confer with people who are close to the situation and get facts before I make a decision considering everything on the table".
Gibson tried to put words in her mouth and good for her she dealt with that snake just like she'll deal with the snake Biden this week and terrorists when she is VP.
Looking forward to the debates, I hope she calls him out on his gaffes; gaffes like FDR getting on TV during the depression (it was Hoover and there was no TV). LOL! Just like (as Rush says) Columbus getting off his plane...

I have realised and others that Sen. Obama
has a different style of politics.
He does not stick on saying to his
opponent he is wrong while he knows
100% he is right.
This is the kind of politics civilised
people practice, and I salute Sen. Obama for this. He is a REALLY CHANGE.
Posted by: FM | Sep 28, 2008 9:04:20 AM
Regarding the borders, Afghanistan borders Pakistan and when you are fighting so close to the border, you don't realize you are in the other's territory - that was the scenario as I understood it from what the pilots said.
We'll be OK though with Palin - the president of Pakistan likes her.
Posted by: obamayomama | Sep 28, 2008 9:04:36 AM
It's amazing how whenever any topic is about Palin or McCain you Republicans always try to skip the subject by focusing negatively on Obama. Pathetic.
Nice try, the world already knows Palin is a joke, and with all the EXECUTIVE experience you claim she has, there is NO WAY she could have debated Obama Friday.
Tell you what, why not get your insults ready in advance for the Biden & Palin debate.
Posted by: vote4peace | Sep 28, 2008 9:06:28 AM
Obama voted with Bush 90% of the time too on fluff legislation - now with the other 10%, seems he's siding with Bush more and more by calling Patraeus brilliant - lol! Didn't Bush put him in place? So Obammie is agreeing with BUSH - where's the outrage!
Guess we'll get 4 more years of Bush with Obamma!

And, regarding earmarks, the "bailout" bill contains 2,000 of them from the dems to include college tuition payoffs, car loan payoffs and 20billion to Obamas favorite community organizing outfit: ACORN.
Glad Mccain got in the 'way' of that; no wonder the dems want him out of the way. Personally, I agree that they should publish the bill on net to let the folks see it - we cannot trust our government run by democrats who got us in this mess in the first place and that's a fact.

Palin is well aware of what goes on with her foreign neighbors; the US has military bases near those borders - albiet Federal jurisdiction, Alaska is aware of what goes on. Just because she's not blurbing everything out doesn't mean she doesn't know - she has more discernment, a virtue, than Obammie.
Obammie to Putin: American is soooooo MEAN!
Obammie to Ahmadinejad: You're just a little bitty country; you're no threat to us!

Come on, the liberal press and blogs that are 100% in the tank witht Obama will write and say anything to trash MaccCain and Palin or for that matter to anyone that gets in the road of the false Messiah. LOL
They did it to Hillary, to Bill, to Jesse Jackson, etc.etc.etc.
How many times Hillary, Bill,and Biden disagreed with Obama? Plenty!
How much foreign experience Obama has? None (well, he said he had enough since he grow up in Indonesia! now that's a laughable answer!
How many links Obama has with lobbys, Illinois corrupt machine in Illinois? Plenty!
How many times OBama has really crossed to real lead any debates in legislation? None! He has help passed a couple of legislation without debate making any leadership efforts, legislation given to him by Jones in Illinois and Reed in Dc just t o beef up his thin credentials!!
how many times Obama embellished his experience and achievements? Plenty!!
How many times Obama has flip flopped? Many!! He is a big ponder!
This guy is a false leader, he has never led anything really and with very few achievements besides his education and the first African American president in the Harvard Review.His judgment and courage are qusttionable. His famous opposition to the war was WITHOUT RISK for him, he was running for State senate in his VERY liberal district!!!
But no matter what we right here or show the real fact they are blinded by the Messiah's power! The savior of the world!!! LOL
The irony is that this Messiah has been living in Chicago and Illinois for a long time and hasn't made any miracles just yet!! LOL

"And, regarding earmarks, the "bailout" bill contains 2,000 of them from the dems to include college tuition payoffs, car loan payoffs and 20billion to Obamas favorite community organizing outfit: ACORN."
No it doesn't. Get your facts right.
There is/was a provision for 20% of profits - if any - to go to the National Housing Trust Fund, which provides affordable housing for low-cost Americans.
The only link to ACORN is that they can, as can any other organization carrying out relevant work, apply for grants from that trust fund. There are limits to how much any one organization can receive, and conditions attached to what the grant can be spent on. Google 'National Housing Trust Fund' for more information.

I love all of the GOP'ers who keep posting Obama's comments regarding McCain being right. What is wrong with agreeing with someone your running against. We have had a hard core partisan blinder-wearing, my way or the highway, president for 8 years. Now Obama agreed with perhaps McCain 8 or 9 times of the 100 things he said. I want my president to be intelligent and willing to listen to all Americans and make a judgment.
Even more incredible is that Mr. Maverick, didn't agree with Obama once. John is even afraid to look at Obama. Obama is the Democratic nominee for president he deserved the respect of being looked at. McCain might of well been talking to the devil, refusing to make eye contact. Is this how he is going to treat people he doesn't agree with.
So if you want someone who is willing to form opinions and make judgements based on sound advice from all sides, the vote Obama. If you want another "I trust my gut" president who never agrees with his opposition no matter what, vote McCain.

They were probably trying to get some carbon offset money for Al Gore to deposit in Lehman brothers where Al kept the rest of his scam money, I mean carbon offset (for carbon neutrality) money.

About cars, you are right, Ford Motors DOES make and SELL cars with that gas mileage overseas because the government and cafe standards are not in their way in other countries. American leftists are strangling our economy with their regulations on the auto industry and coal, gas and oil industries.
"Big Oil" get most of their profit from abroad, just like the automakers. In the US however, regulation and high taxes on corporations force them to leave the country or pass on the high taxes to the consumers.

rod: Yeah, they were using those 'invisable' (lol) weapons to kill their own people. Dontcha think that giving Saddam a year and a half warning that we are coming there could have been enough time to hide WMD's? WMD's in the form of mustard gas and biological warfare are pretty small - for example, I am sure that a mason jar full of bacteria dumped in a reservoir for a large city's water supply could do massive damage and I do see that coming. How hard would that be?
We are up against a different kind of enemy and all you guys can argue about is the best place to get a cheesesteak?

Media - there you go again. you let Biden get away with telling lies and acting like a bafoon. Palin has said if need be we will do cross-boarder raids in pakistan - probably what has been happening now. our special forces basically live in this area now (afghan side) and are doing whatever they can to stop taliban from coming into Afghanistan.
The media is trying so hard to bring palin down but unfortunately for them alot of people love her and want her to be one of our top carers for this country

I knew that Obama wanted to turn America into a socialist country by making the wealthy pay for the poor but his behavior in Missouri is that of a communist. If this is happening now imagine what it will be like if he becomes president.
Gov. Blunt Statement on Obama Campaign’s Abusive Use of Missouri Law Enforcement
JEFFERSON CITY - Gov. Matt Blunt today issued the following statement on news reports that have exposed plans by U.S. Senator Barack Obama to use Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics.
“St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign.
“What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment.
“This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson. I can think of nothing more offensive to Jefferson’s thinking than using the power of the state to deprive Americans of their civil rights. The only conceivable purpose of Messrs. McCulloch, Obama and the others is to frighten people away from expressing themselves, to chill free and open debate, to suppress support and donations to conservative organizations targeted by this anti-civil rights, to strangle criticism of Mr. Obama, to suppress ads about his support of higher taxes, and to choke out criticism on television, radio, the Internet, blogs, e-mail and daily conversation about the election.
“Enlisting Missouri law enforcement to intimidate people and kill free debate is reminiscent of the Sedition Acts - not a free society.”

What is this GARBAGE I'm reading about Obama having law enforcement in Missouri keep people from "spreading lies" about him? I didn't realize we lived in a communist country (yet) and I'm absolutely terrified that he can use intimidating police tactics to keep people from acting and speaking freely.
This really, really frightens me.

dear abc --- so now you are taking comments made by Palin while standing in line ordering cheesesteaks, as news? Are you just going plain nuts?
And yet, you continue to ignore the HUGE news from Missouri, that Obama is turning us into a police state by using state funded police to intimidate all those saying something negative about him? That is not news to you, but a cheesesteak comment is?
Have you lost your minds? Have you no sense of journalistic integrity whatsoever?
How much is Obama paying ABC to be so ridiculously biased?

Franconia ,
It is true. I watched the local media report about it. Obama is acting like a communist. He is using his corrupt, Chicago thug style politics to threaten the people of Missouri if they speak out against him. He has the local law enforcement and 2 prosecutors threatening the citizens. Who knows where else he is doing that.
I'm so scared of Obama! How can he do that in America?!?!?!
you tube "obama Missouri law" it is the first video
