Sarah Palin again disregards facts, massively inflates cost of Libya no-fly zone

~








In an apparent effort to put her foreign policy knowledge on display, Sarah Palin seemed aghast that the U.S. would spend over $600 million per day to protect civilian populations in a foreign land.

The $600 million number is actually massively inflated, according to figures from the Pentagon.

For the first full week, operations totaled near $600 million — not the first day, as the former Alaska governor claimed.

  2. It was just her "notes" on her hand that got blurred.

  3. Well, hell. The last I heard, she had given that up and is now posting her notes on her forehead...inverted.
