Palin camp clarifies extent of Iraq trip
Says she never ventured beyond Kuwait border


WASHINGTON - Sarah Palin's visit to Iraq in 2007 consisted of a brief stop at a border crossing between Iraq and Kuwait, the vice presidential candidate's campaign said yesterday, in the second official revision of her only trip outside North America.

Following her selection last month as John McCain's running mate, aides said Palin had traveled to Ireland, Germany, Kuwait, and Iraq to meet with members of the Alaska National Guard. During that trip she was said to have visited a "military outpost" inside Iraq. The campaign has since repeated that Palin's foreign travel included an excursion into the Iraq battle zone.

But in response to queries about the details of her trip, campaign aides and National Guard officials in Alaska said by telephone yesterday that she did not venture beyond the Kuwait-Iraq border when she visited Khabari Alawazem Crossing, also known as "K-Crossing," on July 25, 2007.

Asked to clarify where she traveled in Iraq, Palin's spokeswoman, Maria Comella, confirmed that "She visited a military outpost on the other side of the Kuwait-Iraq border."

2. I heard she walked 1/5th mile into Iraq.
That makes her qualified for Iraqi Prime Minister, I think.

7. A 527 needs to play this"IRAQ BATTLE ZONE" like the BOSZNIAN SNIPER FIRE story
The war in Kuwait has been over for 10 years and they are talking up the trips as "into the battle zone"
