To: Extremely Extreme Extremist
From the article: as Bill Kristol ruefully remarked (in response to the suggestion his diminished enthusiasm was responsible for her about face): "The surge in Iraq works. The surge in Afghanistan works. There’s an Arab Spring. The world obviously needs American strength and leadership more than ever. And now everyone (even Palin, to some degree) decides, hey, time to back off? It’s foolish substantively and politically. Do Republicans really want to run as Obama-lite in foreign policy?"

It looks like Kristol resents Sarah's criticism of the McCain-Obama policy and is lashing out with a false characterization of her position.

from a later part of her speech that Rubin for some reason neglected to mention:

I believe that America must never retreat into isolation. The world would be less safe and less free without our leadership. And we must never forget that America has a responsibility to lead.

Pretty much exactly what he said in that piece there.

Maybe someone should ask Kristol what he thinks of that?
