Sarah Palin Isn't Impressed with the Nigerians Trying to Bring Back Their Girls

Palin took to social media to criticize the Obama administration's social media tweets as "junior high-like tweets and tickles in place of a foreign policy rooted in peace through strength." She reminds us that victory is usually brought to you "'courtesy of the red, white and blue'" (the Nigerian flag is green and white) and that a hashtag isn't going to scare the people Palin wants us to scare. "I kinda-sorta doubt a tweet will intimidate the kidnappers much," she wrote. "So, if you’re going to jump in and do something about these Islamic terrorists at all, then do it right, do it firmly, and kick their ass."

But I'm not sure exactly what she is advocating. Does she really want us to send the Marines to Nigeria to free those girls? Or even Seal Team Six?

Does she think that Obama is behind the tweets? Does she believe that is all he's doing? In case she doesn't realize it, Obama doesn't have to confide in her before he makes foreign policy decisions.

McCain owes the whole country a huge apology.

I could kick McCain for picking her as his VP. Now we can't get rid of the annoying woman.

His party wanted a woman because of Hillary. They thought that a woman VP would get them votes from the disappointed Hillary supporters.

And has extremely high standards in all thing intellectual. So it's no wonder that the Nigerians do not meet her expectations.

* Of course when she took a load of them to the bank to deposit the result was to say the least, pandemonium.

Their government was trying to sweep the incident under the rug. Of course facts don't matter to the Republicans. They like to make up their own alternate reality.

My contempt for him grew a thousandfold when he decided to foist that woman on to the American people. No one deserves her.
