Palin doesn’t have the foggiest idea what the Bush Doctrine is. Literally, not a clue about the guiding U.S. foreign policy principle of the last seven years. When she tried to fudge it, her ignorance on the issue was even more glaring.
Second, she really didn’t want to answer an important question about U.S. strikes in Pakistan. It’s not like this was a curveball — the issue was in yesterday’s New York Times. Eventually, after trying to wiggle out of the question, Palin eventually seemed to support unilateral strikes, which contradicts the stated McCain policy.
Third, Palin believes Russia was “unprovoked” in its military incursion against Georgia. That’s just wrong.
Fourth, instead of waving off hypothetical questions about wars with massive nuclear powers, Palin openly suggested it “perhaps” would be necessary to go to war with Russia.
