Has Palin ever been to a foreign country?

[Bill McBlueState]

I assume she's been to Canada at least, but who knows?

Some of our more heavily traveled DUers could wear buttons saying, "I have more foreign policy experience than Sarah Palin"

19. if she ever comes her again I'll get a party together to protest!!! n/t

20. Stupid question but

If she's only been to the US bases in Kuwait & Germany does that count as being to a foreign country? Thought US bases were technically US soil? Sort of like consulates and embassies?

[Muttocracy]

21. Not stupid question at all - apparently stopping at an Irish airport

was her claim to visiting Ireland, and never setting foot off a U.S. military base would be similarly lacking in cultural, much less political, exposure.

8. Yes

I've seen a video of that visit.

[emilyg]

6. Yes she has.

[Postman]

10. She changed planes in Shannon, Ireland. Does that count as going to Europe?

[Muttocracy]

13. is the trip to and from Germany how she got to claim Ireland? nt

[Hugabear]

11. Well, she wanted to make Alaska a foreign country

Does that count?

Went to Kuwait and refueled in Ireland. Whoooppeee!

Governor Palin Highlights Hunting Opportunities to Returning Alaska Troops

September 6, 2007, Juneau, Alaska - Governor Sarah Palin today informed Alaska National Guardsmen and women serving in combat that big game hunting opportunities will be available when they return from combat zones this fall.

“I heard from many Alaskans serving overseas during my trip to Kuwait in July,” said Governor Palin. “One of the most frequent questions was about the status of hunting seasons upon their return. While I can’t grant our troops the chance to hunt in closed areas or in places with species restrictions, I do want to recognize them and help them hunt this late fall or winter when they get home.”

17. She had a 4 hour layover in an Irish airport.

Surely that's a sufficient qualification.
