Palin To Meet With Afghan President And Henry Kissinger

From CBS News' Scott Conroy:

(ORLANDO, Fla.) As she seeks to bolster her foreign policy resume, Republican vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin will meet with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in New York City early next week, according to a senior campaign aide.

The meetings coincide with the annual opening of the United Nations General Assembly, and Palin is expected to meet with other world leaders, as well.

Palin's meeting with Karzai will come amid concerns in Afghanistan over rising civilian casualties caused by American bombings. President Bush is slated to meet with the Afghan president later this month to discuss ways to reduce unintended deaths.

Palin spent Saturday meeting with campaign aides and three of her five children, who flew in from Alaska on Friday.

She has a rally scheduled on Sunday at The Villages—a planned development in central Florida—but Palin's public schedule has been notably light.

While the campaign has been tight-lipped about the governor's private activities, she is thought to be brushing up on foreign affairs in advance of her trip to the U.N. and preparing for her only debate against vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden, which will take place in St. Louis on Oct. 2.

Tuesday's visit will not be the first time Palin has visited New York City, according to a campaign aide.

by edbanksusa September 23, 2008 3:56 PM EDT: Palin is being coached by Henry Kissinger of all people. Kissinger is a discredited and disgraced GOP neocon who profits from Bush mismanagements, failures and Iraq war. The man does not have credibility to advise anyone. Kissinger to Palin is garbage in garbage out. What good will come of beauty model showing her face among Bush puppets? Nothing of course.; Reply to this comment

by pastdue1 September 22, 2008 3:12 PM EDT: Actually, it was not Kissenger who brought down Nixon, it was he and his White House staff. Kissenger really was a good Secretary of State ~ very smart and educated.
Seriously doubt if Kissenger will be too impressed with sarah palin''s qualifications for anything , but bet he wouldn''t mind ogling her behind with McCain. Do you suppose the "first dude" minds all that ogling?; Reply to this comment

Kissinger is evil, but Brzezinski, Obama''s handlers, is no better. Both volunteer other people to be murdered by the millions, just in different places.
My money is on Palin as having the conscience to resist his "advice." But who knows. Obama? That empty suit is bought and sold to Brzezinski. A more compromised individual could rarely be found, but of course MSM is too busy chasing Palin''s teeanged kids rather than investigating the serious allegations against Obama''s fitness. The irony of this situation almost passes belief and will be the stuff of legends once this mad time is passed and the truth comes out.; Reply to this comment
