Palin Warns Against Withdrawal in Iraq (Apparently Ignorant of U.S. Withdrawal Agreement With Iraq)
Sarah Palin told Katie Couric this in an interview that will air on CBS News tonight.
In the interim, someone might wanna tell her that Bush has already agreed to retreat:
So, again, I believe that… a surge in Afghanistan also will lead us to victory there as it has proven to have done in Iraq. And as I say, Katie, that we cannot afford to retreat, to withdraw in Iraq. That's not gonna get us any better off in Afghanistan either.
Pretty easy to see why the McSame campaign is so afraid to let her take questions.
Iraq and the United States have agreed on a date for the departure of all American troops as part of a broader security pact they are negotiating, the Iraqi prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, said Monday.
There is actually an agreement concluded between the two parties over the definite date, which is 2011, to end any foreign presence on Iraqi soil," Maliki said.
