Republican Vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin demonstrated deep commitment to combating terrorism, coupled with a strikingly shallow understanding of international relations and current military engagements, in her first televised interview on ABC on September 11.

The interview was one of several to be aired by ABC in September. In the first, Charles Gibson questioned Palin on Iraq, Iran, and other foreign policy issues.

GIBSON: But governor, I am asking you, do we have the right, in your mind, to go across the border, with or without the approval of the Pakistani government?

PALIN: In order to stop Islamic extremists, those terrorists who would seek to destroy America, and our allies, we must do whatever it takes, and we must not blink, Charlie. In making those tough decisions of where we go, and even who we target.
