ABC
News' Teddy Davis, Arnab Datta, and Rigel Anderson Report: During an
interview with CBS News' Katie Couric which aired Thursday evening,
Sarah Palin called Barack Obama "beyond naïve" for wanting to talk
"without preconditions" to rogue leaders.
"I think, with
Ahmadinejad, personally, he is not one to negotiate with," said Palin,
referring to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. "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," she continued. "That's beyond
naïve. And it's beyond bad judgment."
Asked if she considers
former Republican Secretary of State Henry Kissinger to be "naïve" for
supporting talks without preconditions, Palin said, "I've never heard
Henry Kissinger say, 'Yeah, I'll meet with these leaders without
preconditions being met.'"
Palin was overlooking that Kissinger
(with whom she met earlier this week) has backed negotiating directly
with Iran over its nuclear program and other bilateral issues -- a
point which Couric reconfirmed at the closer of her interview.
"Incidentally,"
said Couric, "we confirmed Henry Kissinger's position following our
interview, he told us he supports talks if not with Ahmadinejad, than
with high-level Iranian officials without preconditions."
When contacted by ABC News about the split in position with Kissinger, the McCain-Palin campaign had no immediate comment.
