Pathological Liar Watch, Cont'd

I'm going to have to start numbering these posts, because there are just so many of them. Anyway, here goes the newest lie:

Report: Palin Did Not Visit Iraq

By Anne E. Kornblut
WASILLA, Alaska -- Aides to Gov. Sarah Palin are scrambling to explain details of her only trip outside North America -- which, according to a new report, did not include Iraq, as the McCain-Palin campaign had initially claimed.

Palin made an official visit to see Alaskan troops in Kuwait in July of 2007. There, she made a stop at a border crossing with Iraq, but did not actually visit the country, according to a new report in the Boston Globe.

Earlier, McCain aides had said that Palin visited Iraq, and expressed indignation at questions about her slim foreign travel.

The campaign also said she had been to Ireland; that turned out to have been a refueling stop.

You may recall that late Thursday, the McCain campaign called Kornblut a liar for having said that Palin linked 9/11 and Iraq. Of course, Kornblut's story was accurate, and it was the McCain campaign who was lying. And now here they are, caught lying again.
