A spokesperson for the Republican vice presidential nominee confirmed on
Saturday that Gov. Palin had never visited troops in Iraq, a claim that
aides had repeatedly made, CNN reported.

Officials initially said McCain's running mate had traveled to military
installations in Kuwait and Germany as well as visiting Iraq and Ireland.

In a modification of those claims, the campaign admitted that she had never
crossed the Kuwait/Iraq border and only stopped in Ireland for refueling on
the way home.

Palin received her first passport last year to make the trip to Kuwait,
which was also her first and only time outside North America.
