her stance on terrorism and the invasion of Iraq.

Terrorism and Iraq -

Palin's foreign policy positions were unclear at the time she was picked as McCain's running mate.<115> Shortly after she became governor in December 2006, the Alaska Business Monthly asked Palin for her views about troop escalations in Iraq. She replied "I've been so focused on state government, I haven't really focused much on the war in Iraq. I heard on the news about the new deployments, and while I support our president, Condoleezza Rice and the administration, I want to know that we have an exit plan in place…"<116><117> She has said she supports President Bush's idea of stopping terrorism "by taking the fight to the terrorists".<82><115> Palin has also tied the war to the quest for new energy supplies, saying, "We are a nation at war and in many the reasons for war are fights over energy sources, which is nonsensical when you consider that domestically we have the supplies ready to go."<118>
