Moments after saying she wouldn't criticize Barack Obama abroad, Sarah Palin in India on Saturday said that if she were president there would have been "less dithering, more decisiveness" on Libya.
Pressed in a much tougher question-and-answer session than Palin has recently allowed herself to be subjected to during appearances in the U.S, the former Alaska governor told conference attendees at the India Today Conclave in New Delhi that Obama had not shown enough conviction in executing a strategy in Libya.

Asked how she would have handled the Libyan uprising had she been president, Palin told India Today Editor-in-Chief Aroon Purie: "I won’t criticize what foreign policy has been. But certainly there would have been more decisiveness."


================
All the Dixie Chicks said was they were ashamed Bush was from Texas. That's it. They are a musical group. And that was a big deal.

But little Miss Palin, a political spokesperson on a Cable News Network, a paid republican operative, and a possible Presidential Candidate can talk to foreign leaders and question the President on the way he handles foreign affairs ~ and that's okay??? I think not.

1. Much ado about nobody. nt

2. If it was a Democrat questioning a Republican President's foreign policy while giving a presser in

India, do you not think the Republicans wouldn't be calling for their blood?

Look at what they did to 3 musicians.

I think this deserves alot of attention.

6. She's not a (D), she's not a politician, she's a Teabagging moron with a handful of talking points.

After your reply I went back and read the article - lots of non-answer answers, inside jokes that only the Teahadii are supposed to get and an unmistakable sense of superiority. They're laughing at her, not with her. If anything, she's an embarrassment to the U.S. and women, everywhere.

Secondly, it was up to the "journalists" to ask her what she considers "decisiveness" in this situation. Had they bothered, she would have become flustered and angry, providing even more entertainment for the international press as she went completely off script. They blew it. You know she could never admit to being wrong, but she's also an idiot and simply would have got herself in deeper with another word-salad rant. It could have been epic.

S.P. is a personality with zero talent. None of us should let that upset us.

7. Yeah - You're right. It sickens me that she gets away with so much crap.

3. I won't criticize...but

The woman has no class. None. Nada. Zip.

The Dixie Chicks were vilified for what they said and they didn't criticize foreign policy. They just said they were embarrassed by Bush, or something to that effect.

4. Why would anyone believe anything that she has to say?

For that matter why should we believe anything that politicians say unless they sign a *contract stipulating that they will follow through with actions to match their words?


*No. Contract with America wasn't a legal document.

5. But W was a REAL president. Not some muslin, kenyan

who attended Mardi Grasses in Indiastan.

That gentleman's agreement was first started by Teddy Roosevelt.
Reagan was too senile to break it. Bush followed it religiously. Clinton would give that knowing smile, but refuse to say anything abroad that could be construed to be criticism. W hasn't said much of anything to anyone. Except for Haiti, I don't see him traveling much. The one who said nothing but managed to get his criticisms across by his actions would by Jimmy Carter. He went to many hot spots, managed to get people out, and probably stopped at least one hot war.
