Sarah Palin has claimed she owes America a “global apology” for her and John McCain’s 2008 loss against Barack Obama.

In an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, the former Republican vice-presidential candidate claimed her main thought following president Obama’s announcement of a four-part strategy against terror organisation Isis was … herself.

Speaking to Mr Hannity, who introduces Mrs Palin as someone who “will really clear things up”, the former Alaskan governor said: “The thought going through my mind is ‘I owe America a global apology.' Because John McCain, through all of this, John McCain should be our president.”

Mrs Palin lost the 2008 presidential campaign after being unexpectedly selected as John McCain's running mate. Her campaign was dogged by controversy. In one notorious incident Mrs Palin cited her experience with foreign relations as being able to see Russia from her home state of Alaska.

Offering a nation a global apology aside, Mrs Palin said the arrogance of the present American administration was the reason they had failed to leave residual troops in order to "secure the peace [In Iraq] ... we had fought so hard for."

In an often rambling and disconnected spiel on Mr Obama’s foreign policy, the intentions of Isis and the democrat administration Mrs Palin then claims Isis’ intentions are “a takeover and guess what we’re next on the hit list.”

Continuing, "So when Barack Obama, like the rest of us, hear these bad guys, these terrorists, promising that they will raise the flag of Allah over our White House, for the life of me I don't know why he does not take this serious, the threat,"

"Because yes, it's more than a vision. They're telling — just like Hitler did all those years ago — when a war could've been avoided, because Hitler, too, did not hide his intentions. Well ISIS, these guys aren't hiding their intentions either."
