My, my so Sarah Palin, little known governor, is now taking on world politics. Why not, after all she has learned about foreign affairs because she is so geographically close to Russia. That osmosis thing.

On the anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history, Gov. Sarah Palin took a hard-line approach on national security and said that war with Russia may be necessary if that nation invades another country. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?i...

sukabi1

Yes, she's an endtimer, and it looks like Bush's team has been "getting her up to speed"
The White House last week announced a $1 billion program of economic aid, with about half going to Georgia before President Bush leaves office and the remainder for the next administration to deliver.
Administration officials told the committee that any separate military buildup would be undertaken carefully and have in mind Georgia's support for coalition efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and its counterterror campaign against Chechen extremists.
Russia adamantly opposes U.S. military aid to Georgia. The proposed Russian resolution is certain to encounter U.S. opposition.

This is the nightmare scenario. Once again the Republicans are going to drive the news cycle and once again the Democrats have missed the opportunity to take them on. CDS2 shows exactly what I mean. Russia is not going to invade Poland . It is a well established country with no border dispute or internal problems. Georgia was an entirely different issue and the whole purpose of her comments was to dredge up dreams that McCain and Palin would have prevented the situation in Georgia because they would have gone to war.
Yes, we could have had ads out on all these credibility sappers from charging for rape kits, forcing 12 year old rape victims to bear children and wanting child predators to be assured that little kinder garden children would be ripe for the taking. But NO, this will be the headline. Wonderful idiots and fools, see how well your warped sense of "fair" play allows the Republicans to sodomize you. However, hitting back with the truth (albeit harsh) would not be right. SCREW DEMOCRATS, SPINELESS COWARDS DO NOT DESERVE TO LEAD AND THOSE WHO KEEP UP THEIR MEME OF HOW WE HAVE TO LAY BACK AND ENJOY OUR RAPE ARE TRAITORS TO THE PARTY AND COUNTRY.
sukabi1

No, it's a perfect opportunity to question just WHO the republicans are running for President. And start hammering McCain why his running mate would advocate war with another country when we haven't finished up the 2 that we're already engaged in. And where oh where are the additional troops, military gear ect. going to come from when all the services supplies of "war gear" are worn out and stretched too thin for the current wars.
And how the fuck does he expect to fund another "adventure" with our economy circling the drain and our international support virtually nonexistent?
nothingasitseems

The Republicans were going to dominate the news cycle anyway today. Everyone has been waiting for this interview. This is a good thing because it shows what a warmongering campaign this would be if elected. McCain wouldn't mind our soldiers in Iraq for 100 years, and Palin would support a war with a NUCLEAR FUCKING POWER over a piss-ass nothing country like Georgia.

Actually, Hurricane Ike is about to quite literally blow every other news story out of the water for the next few days -- and that, I predict, is when Obama will begin his counteroffensive.
If Obama had responded hard to all of this earlier this week it would've been drowned out in 9/11 and Ike noise. Next week they'll all be cleared out, the country will hopefully start feeling some LyingMILF Fatigue, and Obama will have the opening to refocus on McSame and the utter lack of change that he really will bring.
And sometimes you need to just give the other side enough rope to hang themselves. We always KNEW McSame would get filthy dirty and would lie and it's safe to say so did Obama. The key is to attack and get maximum bang for the smack (see what Obama did when McSame forgot how many houses he owned and how the McSame campaign utterly melted down as a result) and Obama has shown he and his campaign do have a sense of when to strike and strike hard, and how to strike.
The important moments for Obama to move will be in the last three weeks to build up to making sure all those new and excited voters get their ballots in early and build the drama and excitement -- as he did before Denver. That's when it's important, and I'm confident he and the campaign are ready for it.
Sometimes waiting IS the smart move, and this is one such moment.

This just in: Private Track Palin, called upon by his mother, President Sarah Palin, to help the tiny breakaway province of South Ossetia, stated: "I am ready to fight and die for the South Park people, who have proudly declared their independence. I am doing this for my mom, Hi Mom!, and Cartman and Kenny and all the other South Park people who are earning to breathe free!"
WOW! Based on these transcripts, it sure does sound like she was given the questions beforehand. Talk about softball and scripted. How great would it be to uncover that Gibson actually gave her the questions before the interview?!

This just in: Willow Palin, aged 15, has volunteered to act as a surrogate mother for the South Ossetian people. The single sperm bank in South Ossetia has been burned to the ground by the diabolical Georgian forces, but hundreds of samples have been rescued by Private Track Palin's infantry and are being medevac'd to Ramstein, Germany for implanting in American women who support the cause of freedom. Offering her services, young Willow has become a symbol of the flower of American womanhood willing to stand up to the Georgian invasion of the tiny little breakaway province. "I'm, like, SO psyched to bring a South Ossessian baby to life!," Ms. Palin enthused. "I'm not just doing it because my mom asked me to." I am an American, and we stand together with the South Obsession people!"

Whether you have a political party or not, no one needs a weak sister like Nigel Elliot on their side. The willingness to go to war is what prevents war. That's the reason Russia marched into Georgia. They were willing. They knew that there was no help coming to the Georgians. They were right.

pre-emptive attacks are not diplomacy either.
she's not in office yet, and she's saying she'll go to war with Russia if they attack a NATO country. Funny, I don't recall any other NATO countries saying this.
one thing we REALLY don't need again... a pResident and VP who have no idea what the CONCEPT of diplomacy is, let alone how to practice it.
we went from being respected to being the biggest bully on the planet (I know you don't believe that, because you're one of chimpy's 'Murricans').

just the other day, Regan's son said he thinks Sarah is the reincarnation of Ol' Ronnie himself.
SEATTLE – When Michael Reagan watched Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin thrill the Republican Party faithful Wednesday night, he saw his father "reborn."
But Ronald Prescott Reagan told WND yesterday he knew Ronald Reagan, too, and Sarah Palin, he insisted, is no Ronald Reagan. ... "Sarah Palin," he said, "has nothing in common with my father, a two-term governor of the largest state in the union, a man who had been in public life for decades, someone who had written, thought and spoke for decades about foreign policy issues, domestic policy issues, and on and on and on."
But many introduced to Palin this week say she excites them like Ronald Reagan did.
"I think they ought to start using their brain, instead of viscera," Ron Jr. said in reaction.
Ron Reagan
Isn't the excitement, however, simply over a charismatic candidate for national office who espouses conservative values and ideas without apology and already has successfully put them into practice?
"That may excite them," Ron Jr. said. "But many of those values are hypocritical and dishonest, and, frankly, scary."
Creationism is one of the scary beliefs Palin advocates, he said.
"It doesn't bother some people, I know, but, frankly, somebody like that has no idea what kind of planet we live on – literally has no idea what the planet is all about," Ron Jr. said.
"It's such a profoundly anti-intellectual, anti-science stance," he asserted. "I don't see how you can hold high office and believe something like that."

The real question to ask her is to answer where NATO is located on a map. I'm sure her answer would be "It's close to The Iraq."

Is Palin Crazy??? Is this woman just plain crazy?? We are the United States of America, not some outback, gun-toting, rogue nation. We're big, but a war with any other super-power would be devastating -- DEVASTATING! That's not a coffee table conversation item, it's war talk. Is Palin out of her mind?

Palin is a joke and a distraction from what is really going down.
Can we get some coverage on HURRICANE IKE???!!! It's heading toward HOUSTON, which is the 4th LARGEST CITY in the UNITED STATES!... HELLO??!!! MSM is barely touching it. This could shut down the largest Oil refinery in the nation. Not to mention displacing millions of people.... Wake up, folks! They estimate at least $ 50 BILLION in monetary damages and it's not like the nation is running a surplus these days!
THIS IS GLOBAL WARMING, C/O Pres. BUSH/CHENEY & BIG OIL. All the Scientists that Bush tries to muffle have been warning about the sequence and intensity of storms to come....

McCain/Palin has a firm and principled foreign policy. This video details it:
she might be crazy but who isnt..the problem is that american has a problem with a hot/VPILF as vice president....the youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjtCI8CHen8 only reinforces that as do many other things

sorry i got the spelling wrong of that secret russian mountain,silly limey lol read for yourself ITS WORRYING
Did her interview with Gibson already go off the rails? And will conservatives cover her back by saying "yes, we endorse war with Russia".
Fucking insane.
But what happened to your post John, about McCain opposing legislation to stop charging women for rape exams and Joe Bidens legislation of same? I read the post, now it's gone.
it's being discussed on dKos. Go to this link and you'll see the breaking banner header stating: EXCLUSIVE: GOV. SARAH PALIN WARNS WAR MAY BE NECESSARY IF RUSSIA INVADES ANOTHER COUNTRY
http://abcnews.go.com/
I really hope this is true and I hope it WASN'T with Gibson because that was taped and it will be deleted, just like all the Google information on Sarah Palin

here's an update with link:
On the anniversary of the worst terrorist attack in U.S. history, Gov. Sarah Palin took a hard-line approach on national security and said that war with Russia may be necessary if that nation invades another country.
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/Vote2008/story?i...
Palin sounds just like when Bush said " Bring It On"
Bush is trying to resupply Georgia...
now Russia might be after them... he's just thinking about his family.
see?
Job security!
CDS - nice try.
the only reason we're threatening Russia with any action at all is due to a pipeline across Georgia.
Iraq redux... chimpco couldn't give a flying fuck about Georgia or its people... including the secessionists that RUSSIA was trying to protect (which, of course, makes RUSSIA the aggressor??).
we should know by now CDS... you're always on the side of this administration when it comes to foreign policy.
think, read, get some facts before jumping on the chimpco bandwagon.
hey, just repeating sukabi1's point.
c'mon... as large as Russia is, if they haven't attacked anyone unprovoked by now... they probably aren't going to start.
on the other hand, now you know how the rest of the world views the USA... "what if they invade/bomb us?"
but that makes you feel safe somehow, right?
Pelosi wants so much to get a Democrat in the US Presidency, yet she let's lose the biggest pig of all.
Thanks for nothing Mrs Do Nothing Pelosi!
kkkarl is untouchable unfortunately.
No room for negotiation ....
What a freak she is. She gave her daughter the choice to keep the baby.....but war with Russia isn't negotiated?
Those "people" are CRAZY!
Oh, by the way, my friend in NYC and I are not only going to the major blogs/web pages (e.g. Newsweek, Time) but also to small town blogs/web newspapers in the SWING STATES to put the truth on these nut cases.
Thsi is a huge opening to attach McCain NOT Palin excklsuviley - the puch back has to be that the same people who gave you the Iraq War want another cold or hot one with any comers ....It dont matter who just as long as we can keep their friends on the war gravy train ....
Yes, we could have had ads out on all these credibility sappers from charging for rape kits, forcing 12 year old rape victims to bear children and wanting child predators to be assured that little kinder garden children would be ripe for the taking. But NO, this will be the headline. Wonderful idiots and fools, see how well your warped sense of "fair" play allows the Republicans to sodomize you. However, hitting back with the truth (albeit harsh) would not be right. SCREW DEMOCRATS, SPINELESS COWARDS DO NOT DESERVE TO LEAD AND THOSE WHO KEEP UP THEIR MEME OF HOW WE HAVE TO LAY BACK AND ENJOY OUR RAPE ARE TRAITORS TO THE PARTY AND COUNTRY.
And how the fuck does he expect to fund another "adventure" with our economy circling the drain and our international support virtually nonexistent?
If Obama had responded hard to all of this earlier this week it would've been drowned out in 9/11 and Ike noise. Next week they'll all be cleared out, the country will hopefully start feeling some LyingMILF Fatigue, and Obama will have the opening to refocus on McSame and the utter lack of change that he really will bring.
And sometimes you need to just give the other side enough rope to hang themselves. We always KNEW McSame would get filthy dirty and would lie and it's safe to say so did Obama. The key is to attack and get maximum bang for the smack (see what Obama did when McSame forgot how many houses he owned and how the McSame campaign utterly melted down as a result) and Obama has shown he and his campaign do have a sense of when to strike and strike hard, and how to strike.
The important moments for Obama to move will be in the last three weeks to build up to making sure all those new and excited voters get their ballots in early and build the drama and excitement -- as he did before Denver. That's when it's important, and I'm confident he and the campaign are ready for it.
Sometimes waiting IS the smart move, and this is one such moment.
as I said in your other post, "I think she's proved "cocky wacko" right here.
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/9/11/17013/9899
blogs...just struck me suddenly. I am having fun with Caribou Barbie.
We need Obama/Biden to win, hands down.
If Reagan won the cold war then why would we need to go to war with Russia? Is this a new war?
That's very clever, enjoyed reading that. Thanks!

How great would it be to uncover that Gibson actually gave her the questions before the interview?!
ADULTS
South Obsession... a new fragrance from Calvin Klein
McCain has lost any speck of Integrity he once had. He also has lost his mind.
March on good christian soldier!
Ms Palin says we will protect you. I don't subscribe to this point of view. Believe me when I say to you, I hope the Russians love their children too!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rk78eCIx4E
The Obama campaign had better hammer this into the ground.
I need this hopeless feeling
Like I need a hole in my head
Give up my whole days wages
To get this hole in the wall
I call a holster that is empty
Just a gun to the head
I am a holy roller
I'm playing Russian Roulette
I've been told gambling's a sin
I'm gonna place my bet
I'm gonna play to win
Yes I'm sure it's a cure for the blues
You lose you win, you win you lose
I cried "Oh sweet Lord"
But there's no hope in praying
Somebody hold me tight
I'm in a whole lot of pain
I'll be a whole lot older
When this day is done
I say Russian Roulette
Is just a hole in one
"she's threatening to declare to war on Russia"
Exactly what does that mean, John?
Are you incapable of publishing a flawless piece of writing, John? Seems so.
she's not in office yet, and she's saying she'll go to war with Russia if they attack a NATO country. Funny, I don't recall any other NATO countries saying this.
one thing we REALLY don't need again... a pResident and VP who have no idea what the CONCEPT of diplomacy is, let alone how to practice it.
we went from being respected to being the biggest bully on the planet (I know you don't believe that, because you're one of chimpy's 'Murricans').
bullies aren't respected, they're feared until someone finally takes them out of power... think about that for a bit.
I smell an "I Dream of Jeannie" reference. The nuclear genie, that is.
you aren't changing anyone's mind here. do you realize that?
BTW, I remember a lady who was so testy that she told me never to respond to her again. Now we talk. We don't agree about a whole lot. But, we can laugh every once and awhile and know that we value one another's company. Could be the wrong time to bring that up; but I was never too good at timing...
SEATTLE – When Michael Reagan watched Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin thrill the Republican Party faithful Wednesday night, he saw his father "reborn."
But Ronald Prescott Reagan told WND yesterday he knew Ronald Reagan, too, and Sarah Palin, he insisted, is no Ronald Reagan.
...
"Sarah Palin," he said, "has nothing in common with my father, a two-term governor of the largest state in the union, a man who had been in public life for decades, someone who had written, thought and spoke for decades about foreign policy issues, domestic policy issues, and on and on and on."
But many introduced to Palin this week say she excites them like Ronald Reagan did.
"I think they ought to start using their brain, instead of viscera," Ron Jr. said in reaction.
Ron Reagan
Isn't the excitement, however, simply over a charismatic candidate for national office who espouses conservative values and ideas without apology and already has successfully put them into practice?
"That may excite them," Ron Jr. said. "But many of those values are hypocritical and dishonest, and, frankly, scary."
Creationism is one of the scary beliefs Palin advocates, he said.
"It doesn't bother some people, I know, but, frankly, somebody like that has no idea what kind of planet we live on – literally has no idea what the planet is all about," Ron Jr. said.
"It's such a profoundly anti-intellectual, anti-science stance," he asserted. "I don't see how you can hold high office and believe something like that."
Look, if you don't want to respond to "certain people" than perhaps you shouldn't; as a result when you posted that comment (above) it really read badly.
Heck, I think we all make comments at times, that we don't mean or may come off more harshly than intended, that's just kind of human nature (and tired blogging fingers).
Why the attitude? If you agree with CDS2 so much, why not find a nice warm corner and have a repartee partee (free from cattle prods)?
I repeat, I don't get it...
Maybe you and others are on the neandertal road. By the way, did you ever read the book? Believe the title was "Neandertal"? An entirely possible scenario. I recommend it...
How can one actually converse with you when you speak with such disdain?
Go ahead and call me an invariant or immovable or unchangeable; none of it adds up to repartee.
yup, your family must be sooooo proud of you. at least you're not in jail, like your brother.
"Oh, but I also have an application in at NASA... I'd REALLY like to be an astronaut too!... whichever job comes through, I'm TOTALLY up for it!"
Aren't we a great nation?
Can we get some coverage on HURRICANE IKE???!!! It's heading toward HOUSTON, which is the 4th LARGEST CITY in the UNITED STATES!... HELLO??!!! MSM is barely touching it.
This could shut down the largest Oil refinery in the nation. Not to mention displacing millions of people.... Wake up, folks! They estimate at least $ 50 BILLION in monetary damages and it's not like the nation is running a surplus these days!
