Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard, considers Palin "extremely responsive and smart" and says she is in charge when it comes to in-state services, such as emergencies and natural disasters where the National Guard is the first responder.

But, in an interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, he said he and Palin play no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National Guard. The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.

2. So shouldn't the title read "General: Sarah Palin "Plays No Role" in National Security" ?

Since the general does admit that she's in charge when it comes to in-state services.

"She's commander-in-chief of the Alaska National Guard!!!" "Thar be Ruskies across the Bering Sea!!!" :rofl:

8. Good one!

I can just see the headlines: "Putin backs down after frustrating confrontation with irritating, persistent soccer moms."

6. They are really straining to give Gidget some credibility at the national level.

Trouble is, she has none. Nobody outside of Alaska had ever heard of her until last week. She has no national or international presence or constituency whatsoever. None. No amount of spin or lying will change that.
