Palin defends her remark about foreign policy experience
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
September 26, 2008
Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin defended her remark that the proximity of Russia to her home state of Alaska gives her foreign policy experience, explaining in a CBS interview airing yesterday that "we have trade missions back and forth."
Palin's foreign policy experience arose when she gave her first major interview on Sept. 11 to ABC News. Asked what insight she had gained from living so close to Russia, she said: "They're our next-door neighbors and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska, from an island in Alaska."
When CBS News anchor Katie Couric asked how Alaska's closeness to Russia enhanced her foreign policy experience, Palin said, "Well, it certainly does because our ... our next-door neighbors are foreign countries."
Palin didn't answer directly when Couric inquired about whether she had been involved in negotiations with the Russians. "We have trade missions back and forth," she replied.

I honestly am not following this very much at all, so I can not provide any thorough opinions on this topic, however, I did come into work yesterday to sit with my boss and watch this interview. Palin is unbelievable....and if elected, she is the back up option in a US Presidential crisis???
