OMG.
She didn't struggle during the interview. She asked for claity in the question and answered very well. Also, show me how her words say that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11. They don't.
Just another political hack piece Propaganda Dan!
Ummm...yeah...
Palin Links Iraq to 9/11, A View Discarded by Bush

Washington PostFORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska, Sept. 11 -- Gov. Sarah Palin linked the war in Iraq with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, telling an Iraq-bound brigade of soldiers that included her son that they would "defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans."
The idea that Iraq shared responsibility with al-Qaeda for the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, once promoted by Bush administration officials, has since been rejected even by the president himself. On any other day, Palin's statement would almost certainly have drawn a sharp rebuke from Democrats, but both parties had declared a halt to partisan activities to mark Thursday's anniversary.
"America can never go back to that false sense of security that came before September 11, 2001," she said at the deployment ceremony, which drew hundreds of military families who walked from their homes on the sprawling post to the airstrip where the service was held.
Palin's return to Alaska coincided with her first extensive interview since she became the Republican vice presidential nominee. In the interview, with ABC News correspondent Charlie Gibson, Palin struggled when asked to define the "Bush doctrine" on foreign policy, leading to repeated follow-up questions from Gibson about whether she believed in the right to "anticipatory self-defense" and crossing other nations' borders to take action against threats.
"I believe that America has to exercise all options in order to stop the terrorists who are bent on destroying America and our allies," she said after several questions on the topic. "We have got to have all options out there on the table."
It's like I've been saying for days, after the Palin luster wears thin, the McCain camp better start running on real issues or they are gonna get beat into the dirt...

No, you not understanding that she cited a clause in the NATO treaty and acknowledged it instead of embarking in some political grab ass non-answer bull is stupid.
Well, it's worked for Obama so far...
And in doing so, she proved she already knows more about international politics and law than Obama... Who doesn't relize Russia can veto the UN sactions they might vote for!
So you honestly think she knew what he was talking about? You could tell by her body language she didn't know. She tried to offset the question by making up.
I thought she struggled mightily with that question.
It sounded like she had no idea what it was and her answer sounded like she didn't support the BD, rather, preemptive war instead.
That's what I got from it.
Just to clarify, I meant McCain or Obama. Ya know, the guys at the top of the ticket!
ROFL
her entire interview was rife with political grab ass non answer bull , you really didn't even bring yourself to watching it did you?
Are we talking about the same video?
When he asked if she approved of the Bush Doctrine, she asked which part. We are talking about a complex subject here that clealy cannot be a simple yes/no answer. I though she handlered herself quite well, although it took her some effort to get him to give her a valid question!
I think she knew Gibby was talking about "pre-emptive strike" but was just trying to be cautious and get him to come out and say it.
It might have been a small mistake, but I doubt she ends up looking foolish with regard to it in the long run.
It looked like she was trying to agree with the BD and preventive war but ended up giving the traditional stance on going to war.

An unclear answer coupled with her asking for clarity/stalling made it look like she had no idea what she was talking about, IMO.
Obama was asking for a resolution, not sanctions
D'OH
She was towing the typical Republican line....trying to justify the decision for war.
I think she's got a much more reasonable approach to foreign relations, regardless of what some might say about the loaded hypothetical and some on here focusing on the "war with Russia" thing being taken out of context and not explained fully.
Dude, she even lied about being in the PTA...
LinkThis appears to have been a somewhat inaccurate statement. Sarah Palin has referred to herself as a “PTA mom” for so long that I just assumed it was true. Having been active in PTA since 1996, I assumed that she was an officer before that. Even McCain, when announcing her as his running mate, referred to her executive experience in PTA. But the Alaska State PTA office says it has no record of Sarah Palin ever having been a PTA board member; they do record that she paid dues.”
Geez, no way, even that’s a lie? I did read the timetable didn’t work out but didn't bother to debunk it, who would lie about being a PTA mom?? That’s like lying about volunteering at a VA hospital or something.
Another say anything politician that thinks records didn't exist before she came along..
I personally have seen enough from her to not respect her opinion on foreign affairs. Judging by this first interview I am more qualified on foreign affairs than she is. This should not be the case in our vice presidential nominees. I'm not that smart
She never said she was an officer in the PTA or counted it as executive experience....she just used it in her bio.
Just like she never said she sold the jet on eBay....she just said she "put it on eBay".
If anything, that should be a criticism of McCain and his campaign for not getting the nuances of the story correct.
She didn't ask "which part?". She didn't understand what he meant by The Bush Doctrine and took it to mean that he was referring to Bush's world view.
I like the talk about the beauty of American elections in response to the question about The Bush Doctrine.
"But industry my friends...that was a revolution!"
More excerpts
My question is if global warming is not man-made, what policies is Palin thinking that her and McCain could put in place to keep the planet from getting warmer?
Also, her comments don't make sense in light of an interview she just gave two weeks ago to NewsMax (conservative news organization).
This woman ing confuses me. She is taking flip-flopping to a whole new level.
I guess people see what they want to see. Just remember, your messiah thinks the best way to deal with Russia invading Georgia is to get the UN Security Council to pass a resolution. Did he not know they have veto power? And he's on the top of the ticket.

I guess your one of those people huh? I'll re-post for Mr. Peabody. (Nice pwnt by the way Mr. Peabody)
No way he is the pussie who sits at home typing pro war on his computer as others go off to war.
Not knowing the label "Bush Doctrine" is unfortunate, but understandable. She has, in fact, been a mayor, and the governor of Alaska; NOT a veep or presidential candidate. Today, she knows what it is; and, if elected, she has another, what, 4 months to get up to speed.at "In what respect, Charlie?" Seriously, that's usually a pretty reliable stall tactic if you get caught blanking on a subject.
101A and company really nailed that whole "keeping the powder dry" theory on unleashing the Palin brilliance upon the world.
cram harder.
I thought she acquitted herself quite well, but you knew I would think that.
The only other politician who has been grilled at anything LIKE the level Gibson is going at her was, amazingly enough, Obama with O'Reilly. Of course, those interviews, and Obama's weaknesses (although not prevalent, there were some), are not being trumpeted 24/7 on the major news networks.
In an ENTIRE day of interviews, with a person that has been on the national scene for all of TWO weeks, I thought she showed incredible metal and mental. Her answers were direct, usually, when appropriate, and more evasive (Pakistan incursion), when they needed to be.
I personally have seen enough from her to not respect her opinion on foreign affairs. Judging by this first interview I am more qualified on foreign affairs than she is. This should not be the case in our vice presidential nominees. I'm not that smart
Yeah, and you went into it with an open mind....
