Palin TOTALLY BLEW it re: who controls the nuclear weapons in Iran. It's NOT Ahmadinejad.

[Roland99]

The Supreme Leader is Iran's Commander-in-Chief.

Ahmadinejad, in matters of foreign policy, is but a mouthpiece. He only controls domestic issues.

I guess whoever briefed her doesn't know either. Gee...what a surprise.



Hell, her entire interview was like a poorly rehearsed job interview for school vice-principal.


Dumb as a Box of Rocks.

1. She doesn't know shit

Sad thing either does the average American.

[yardwork]

2. That is terrifying.

[Barack_America]

3. McCain seems to think the same thing.

He always obsesses about Ahmadinejad.

[AllentownJake]

7. Need boogey man

The Clerics aren't out making statements so their figurehead will do.

[agentS]

4. I guess she wasn't paying attention to LIEbermann

maybe all she did was shoot moose and wolves when he went home.

[quakerboy]

5. Unfortunantly

how many Americans would catch this? I am guessing its a lot less than 50%, and under 50% even if you narrow it just to "likely voters".

[flamingdem]

6. So she messed up on I'madinnerjacket (phonetic pronunciation)

Good.

[Darkhawk32]

10. oops.

[nebenaube]

8. oh so you are saying

that they have nuclear weapons now? Is that it... are we supposed to let that slide?

[Roland99]

12. Excellent point. They don't have any yet...that we know of. But she made it seem they do.

And that Mahmoud is all but "hell-bent" on using them.

[Botany]

16. The N.I.E. report was that Iran had no nukes and could not have

any for @ least 3 to 5 years if they started today.

[Roland99]

17. And that was probably the most liberal (ha!) of estimates.

:)

[Darkhawk32]

13. lol. Good point. I'm sure Roland99 was just following the tortured logic. n/t

[Roland99]

15. it's not "tortured logic", it's "enhanced interrogated" logic

:)

[Darkhawk32]

9. Sadly enough...................

99% of the American public doesn't know that either. So, she can say anything she wants and no one would know the wiser.

[opihimoimoi]

11. Joe Liebermann is one of the briefers....blind leading the blind

[Quixote1818]

14. That is a very obvious answer. Anyone who just pays a little attention to the issues knows this.

18. She's nothing more than a cheerleader, There's no depth to her at all

I'm sure her good looks and charm went over well in Alaska, no one dared ask too many questions or demand too much because, well, she's cute you know. But put her on the national stage and under a microscope and what's really there isn't too appealing. Sarah is very much an empty suit.

[CAG]

19. But she practiced saying that name all week!!!! nt

[Chloroplast]

20. Palin studied Journalism?

You've got to be kidding me. She shrank away from a man that's basically her colleague. I can't believe THIS is the best the GOP could do this year; their ticket is Dumb and Dumber: Political Edition and they're proud of that fact. God help us if these two boobs get elected.

[Roland99]

24. It looked good on her resume for Miss Wasilia

[glitch]

21. Ambiguous subject line - from what I understand Iran doesn't have nuclear weapons.

Are you talking about their abandoned nuclear weapons project?

Are you saying the nuclear weapons are still under development and Iran's CIC is in charge of it?

[Roland99]

23. See sub-thread starting with post #8

[BeyondGeography]

22. I believe the term is "nukular"
