Note that she takes the opposite position to what John McCain did last night, on what action we should take against the Taliban and Al Qaida in the Pakistan Tribal areas.
Excerpt:
The governor got a more serious interrogation moments later when
Temple graduate student Michael Rovito approached her to inquire about
Pakistan.
"How about the Pakistan situation?," asked Rovito, who said he was not a Palin supporter. "What's your thoughts about that?"
"In Pakistan?," she asked, looking surprised.
"What's going on over there, like Waziristan?"
"It's working with [Pakistani president] Zardari to make sure that
we're all working together to stop the guys from coming in over the
border," she told him. "And we'll go from there."
Rovito wasn't finished. "Waziristan is blowing up!," he said.
"Yeah it is," Palin said, "and the economy there is blowing up too."
"So we do cross border, like from Afghanistan to Pakistan you think?," Rovito asked.
"If that's what we have to do stop the terrorists from coming any
further in, absolutely, we should," Palin responded, before moving on
to greet other voters.
