"McCain defends statement by Palin
Republican presidential nominee John McCain defended running mate Sarah Palin yesterday, even as she contradicted his policy against talking publicly about attacking terrorist targets in Pakistan. McCain chided Democratic nominee Barack Obama during Friday's presidential debate for saying publicly he supports striking terrorist targets inside Pakistan if the Pakistani government is unable or unwilling to do so.
But on Saturday, Palin said much the same thing to a customer at a Philadelphia restaurant, with the media nearby. "If that's what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any further in, absolutely, we should," Palin said in the exchange, which was captured on video and reported by CBS News.
"She was in a conversation with some young man," McCain said yesterday on ABC's "This Week." "She understands and has stated repeatedly that we're not going to do anything except in America's national security interest and we are not going to, quote, announce it ahead of time."
McCain said Palin's exchange was not an official policy statement (AP)."
Translation: McCain will OVERLOOK his OWN LIES!!!!!!!!!
