Sarah Palin changes advisers, and her worldview

WASHINGTON POST ^ | 02 MAY 2011 | JENNIFER RUBIN

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Whatever else you think of Sarah Palin, she has, since the 2008 presidential campaign, been a clear voice in favor of a robust American presence in the world, a defender of the Afghanistan war, a friend of Israel and a counterweight to neo-isolationist elements on the right.

But careful observers of Palin noticed that recently she was sounding more like Obama’s liberal critics than the VP candidate who echoed Sen. John McCain’s forward-leaning foreign policy. She put out a statement on Facebook last week on Libya that can only be described as incoherent. It was hard to tell if she wanted more or less American firepower in Libya. (“At this point, to avoid further mission creep and involvement in a third war — one we certainly can’t afford — you need to step up and justify our Libyan involvement, or Americans are going to demand you pull out. Simply put, what are we doing there?”) Was she for or against a war to remove the Libyan dictator?

Rubin is reading FAR too much into the simple statements Palin made. Palin wasn’t commenting on her support for military action one way or the other — she was commenting on Obama’s lack of clearly articulating why *HE* was committing troops and assets in Libya. Nothing more or less.

>>>>>Europe & NATO are loosing their resolve against the expansion of the Islamic Caliphate.<<<<<<

But Hussein Al Amriki and MB sleeper cell in DoS are not losing their resolve to establish Caliphate.

They removed Robert Gates as an obstacle.

"I think she is showing she is growing and wising up."


I agree, but would prefer that a candidate for President grow up and wise up a little sooner before running for office. It is not a position that lends itself to "on the job training" as we have seen.
