"She would not…she understands and has stated repeatedly that we're not going to do anything except in America's national security interest...In all due respect, people going around and… sticking a microphone while conversations are being held, and then all of a sudden that's—that's a person's position… This is a free country, but I don't think most Americans think that that's a definitve policy statement made by Governor Palin."
On Saturday night, Governor Palin was asked whether the U.S. should cross the Afghan border into Pakistan to chase terrorists. Senator Obama's position is that we should when necessary, and Governor Palin seems to agree with him. John McCain feels otherwise (they had strong words on the topic at Friday night's debate). McCain also, apparently, feels that taking a Vice Presidential candidate at their word while on a campaign stop constitutes a unforgiveable invasion of privacy.
Perhaps the presidential campaigns could let us know when they're making an official policy statement, and when they're just having expressing something that they believe. It's so hard to tell, these days.
