“Is Palin channeling her inner Dick Cheney?”

Excerpt from Chicago Tribune blog, September 12, 2008:

According to the Washington Post, Palin told a brigade of soldiers (that included her son, Track) that they were headed to Iraq to “defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans.”

Of course, that Iraqis helped the 9/11 plotters was a key element of the Bush administration’s original case for an invasion of that country. That view, however, has long been discredited, even by the administration itself.

So, is Palin channeling her inner Dick Cheney?
