Palin - OK's War with Russia...
Edited on Fri Sep-12-08 03:47 AM by Indi Guy
In her interview with Gibson, Palin was asked if Georgia (& Ukrane) should be accepted into NATO.

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, emerging from media silence for her first serious interview as the GOP vice presidential pick, said Thursday that the United States might have to go to war if Russia were to invade Georgia again.

Palin said she favors admitting Georgia and Ukraine to NATO. Asked if the United States would have to go to war if Russia again invaded Georgia when it was a NATO member, Palin said, "Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help. -- http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/09/12/MNSA12SBUQ.DTL

Sarah, maybe if you lived through the decades long Cold War, you'd not be so quick on the draw.

Sorry Sarah -- You're not fit to lead.

2. Yeah but...
...good fences don't always make for good neighbors.

Her ignorance of real life international politics is really scary! I'll let my 15 year old son drive the car, as long as I can reach the break & the wheel...

3. But...
She's had an "Affair" they say...maybe it was with a Russian? She just wants to play some nuclear football.

What's wrong with a little OJT?

6. On the job training is OK, as long as there's a foundation of understanding...

...Until now, Sarah has had no reason to attempt an understanding of any population larger than that of her own state.

8. You make a great point...
What many Americans don't get is that the people we elect, not only set policy (huge enough), they also create law.

Political outcome = law.

That's why Cheney is above the law right now -- he helped create his own.

5. I Experienced the "Duck and Cover" air raid drills as a kid...
I don't want our kids to be terrified into patriotism toward one party, the way I was.
