A few weeks listening to McCain will make Palin more knowledgeable about foreign-policy than either Biden or the rookie. A few months will make her infinitely more knowledgeable.
The rookie still doesn’t realize that the Surge worked. And he gives no indication that he wanted it to work. These facts by themselves make talk about Palin’s lack of foreign-policy experience nonsensical.
A first requirement of a commander in chief would be to want his country to win wars and to understand the importance of his country finishing a war of strategic significance. And anyone who thinks there will be significant negative repercussions down the road if the mission in Iraq is not completed does not understand the real world.
The war in Iraq is being one and opposition to to the completion of the mission at this stage is purely political.
