Palin: Mubarak Relationship “Not Moral or Ethical”
Time ^ | 2/11/11 | staff

Posted on 02/11/2011 8:51:00 AM PST by pissant

On whether the United States should have been giving foreign aid to President Mubarak: “Over 30 years of standing by Mubarak’s side and he essentially standing with America on a lot of our interests it makes sense that we have a reciprocal relationship but no it is not moral or ethical. We are watching Mubarak and realizing the billions of dollars that have been spent, he’s become rich, a lot of the dictatorship has personally benefited. So where do those funds end up? We need to pull back on those countries where the money isn't doing any good."

I merely cut and pasted Palin's clear words....not my views.

And left out the half of her words that did not suit your point.

We're done.

It was a statement of fact! I saw the interview - we play dirty with a lot of countries, she just stated the fact as a matter of fact, it’s a PDSer around here that say anything that can take and spin as a negative on Palin especially from Time magazine that snips what she was saying, I heard what she said in context on Egypt it was better than Obama, Mitt and others jumping on the bandwagon in support of the people

Time magazine took two separate questions from Judge Napoltano and combined them to her answer. One was about Murbarak and the other question was about foreign aid which she was right on

Is this true, and how do you know? Maybe I missed that.

Typo. I should have said:

saved up $70 billion including American contributions for his...


Today is a good day to die.
I didn't say for whom.

I can't help it if you can't support your positions with facts.

I addressed the sense of what she said and nothing I left out supported your view. Perhaps you mean this:

but no it is not moral or ethical

She's right...our dictators are not always moral but we prop them up as a better alternative. She said Mubarak supported many American interests...its doesn't mean he had as much integrity as he could have had.

It's not insane to oversee the money we give these countries so that "our dictators" don't get rich.

How were we going to stop him and maintain a relationship with him in which he protected our interests?

Palin didn't address that.

What she did say was that we need to watch it going forward..."pull back" from similar situations. I take it that she means not necessarily cut off all relationships and funding but oversee and staunch the money going into corruption.

Which sounds like wisdom to me.

Sorry, I did not see the other poster's comment until I posted mine.
Just to clarify, Bigtigermike watched this interview and is stating that Judge Napolitano asked two separate questions, and then Time spliced Sarah Palin's two responses into one answer...surrounded by quotes yet?

If my understanding is correct, completely apart from the content of her answers, this is a blatently dishonest tactic and the "quote" should be retracted immediately.

sorry, I am not gonna hold hands and jump off the cliff here as everyone else seems to be doing. The dude will retire to live a VERY comfortable life somewhere... on MY money.
Has it protected our interests? are you so sure of that?

Okay, I'm lousy at linking but I believe the video clip is on this page. I'm not able to get it to work (it figures), but maybe you all can:

(And maybe some smart person can make a link too.)

If you're waiting for TIME to retract it you'll be waiting a very long time.

If you're waiting for Pissant, I'm not sure he/she does retractions.

I would not expect pissant to post a retraction for Time’s dishonest quotation. That would be the responsibility of Time.
