Quote by: Sonart . Except that's not what Couric said, Maxim.

I suppose it won't do any good to point out to you that I said 'She SEEMS to be making the same mistake..... " and not " she IS making the same mistake" that Obama made about Kissinger's position on negotiations with Iran. That was editorializing on my part. The reason for that editorializing is that it isn't the first time that Obama has misstated Kissinger's stance on negotiations with Iran. And the reason that it's so important for Obama to misstate this is that he knows he made a huge mistake way back when he said he would talk to all the thugs of the world without pre-condition. He can't say he made a mistake so he has been back pedaling for months about what he "actually meant."

Couric obviously is desperate to shoe horn Palin into a position that she falsely thinks is Kisssinger's later on in the exchange. How wonderfully ironic that Kissinger has arisen to tell everybody they are all full of it:

: I think, with Ahmadinejad, personally, he is not one to negotiate with. You can't just sit down with him with no preconditions being met. Barack Obama is so off-base in his proclamation that he would meet with some of these leaders around our world who would seek to destroy America and that, and without preconditions being met. That's beyond naïve. And it's beyond bad judgment. Couric: Are you saying Henry Kissinger … Palin: It's dangerous. Couric: … is naïve for supporting that?

One thing about this exchange is noteworthy. Palin has made an intelligent statement about Iran that trumps Obama, Biden and MCCAIN

Quote by: Sarah Palin I think, with Ahmadinejad, personally, he is not one to negotiate with

Sarah is correct. Ahmadinejad is not the leader of Iran he's a flunky who serves at the will of the mullahs. She should have told Katie that because it obviously wasn't on her teleprompter
