Palin Doctrine? Sarah Palin spoke at a Tribute to the Troops at Colorado Christian University.
"The Soldier fights not because he hates what's in front of him. But because he loves those and what's behind him!"....G.K. Chesterton
1. We should only commit our forces when clear and vital American interest are at stake.
2. IF we have to fight, we fight to win. We use overwhelming force, we only send in our troop into war with the objective to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible: We do not send in our military to stretch out the mission with an open-ended and ill-define mission. NATION BUILDING is a nice idea in theory but it is not the main purpose of our Arm Forces, we use our military to win wars.
3. We must have clearly defined objectives before sending our troops in harms way: If you can't explain the mission to the American people clearly and concisely, then our Sons and Daughters should not be sent into battle. PERIOD.
4. American soldiers must NEVER be put under foreign command: We can fight side by side with our allies, but American soldiers must remain under the care and command of the American officer.
5. Sending out our Arm Forces should be our last resort: We don't go looking for dragons to slay, however we will encourage the forces of freedom around the world who is sincerely fighting for the empowerment of the individual. When it makes sense and it is appropriate, we will provide them with support to help them win their own freedom....But we can't fight every war, we can't undue every injustice around the World.
Palin: The Stronger we are the more peaceful the World will be under our example....We must vigorously defend ourselves but at the same time not wear down our arm forces with never-ending and ever increasing commitments. I believe that America though, must never retreat into isolation, the World will be less safe and less free without our leadership and we must never forget that America has a responsibility to lead "TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN MUCH IS EXPECTED".
We can not be the World's policeman, granted or a door of ATM but we can lead by example, by our words and if necessary by our actions.....We need leaders that embodies the same standard that our men and women in uniform hold themselves...Remember, the true soldier fights for it is behind him. Behind him here is tradition, patriotism and it---it is not a need for a fundamental transformation of America but a renewal for ALL THAT IS GOOD ABOUT AMERICA!
And yours’ is the MSM doctrine. Nice exposure you just provided - and they are old talking points. Get caught up - it even failed for them!
So, get your favs to run, vote for them, your problem solved.
Don’t shoot me, Mike! I’m just a messenger.
Please get that information involving Sarah to NumbersUSA! They’re begging for exactly this type of information - so give them the reference.
Whether you like that site or not, many people visit it to check out how candidates stand on immigration.
FYI - I no longer have TV; know nothing about Greta or O’Reilly.
Meanwhile, McCain is out in California schmoozing with Whitman and Fiorina. The three are whining about amnesty, and how without it Republicans will never win in California. They need a reality check - I doubt California will vote Republican until illegal aliens are no longer voting!
Sir, they are truths. I'm not making this up. You calling the truth, "talking points", leads me to believe, that not only do you know the truth, you are uncomfortable with said truth. See that's why you should be on my side, I'm not making shit up. I'm just putting it out there and you are uncomfortable with the truth and therefore choose to attack me. It's cool but we'll both come to the same conclusion, Palin cut and ran from the state of Alaska, eliminating her from any serious consideration for President.
I am also a vet, WWII. I also believe in the loyalty oath to protect and defend this Nation and It’s Constitution. My brother who was killed on Okinawa and I discussed this a few time as we were children of immigrants. I don’t equate a service oath to just signing on for a public job which I have done a couple of times. I quit public service jobs after taking the loyalty oath which goes with job. When a public service job becomes such that you don’t feel/believe your effort does not produce or you are inhibited from producing results you believe should occur I’ve always said get out. In today’s government there are too many who know they aren’t doing the job and as for me they should get out. I’ll give Palin a pass on her choice.

You are right, and they are--just not in an American Idol/Dancing with the Stars kind of way. You know when I make my lists of contenders I never consider, "quitter", because in my world if you quit on you your city/state you shouldn't even be in the race.
Hmmm! Bristol is eligible to run for President! You got it all mixed up!
Just signing on for a public job? Sir, we're talking about the governorship of Alaska. I take any oath of office seriously, especially one of only 50 in the greatest nation the world has ever known. I'm not Alaskan but I'd bet they'd consider the governor's oath a little above the level of, "signing on for a public job". Beyond that point do you see how you have to insult Alaska's citizens/sovereignty to pretend that Palin is a viable presidential candidate?
Just curious, highest rank, years of service, combat experience?
Debate the issue, you won’t believe whatever I tell you and it won’t affect my vet check. Let’s debate, you ready?
What would you have done in her position numb-nuts?
Check out response 32. Poser alert.
I was one who cheered when she resigned.
A few political enemies were intent on bankrupting her and her family. They were well on their way when she pulled the rug out from under them.
She was so busy defending herself against these frivolous charges, she could not keep up with her duties as Governor. That left her with the only logical option; Resign!! That left her opponents scrambling around looking for something to do.
It also left her free to earn the money to save what they had spent a lifetime accumulating.
I realize that some who suffer from severe PDS, along with those who just don't like women, are never going to accept this move for what it is, a BRILLIANT political move.
I like all of them but number 5. Last resort means chatting with a dictator. I say we give them one chance to change their ways or get in there and make them change or get rid of them. Too many times the Democrats are the ones for diplomacy and that is the last thing we need as a long term strategy.
What would you have done in her position numb-nuts?
How/Why do you believe you are privy to the sensitivity of my nuts? What would I have done? I would have fulfilled my oath of office. I would not have cut and run!
Shallow, you are.
Definitely ‘Commander in Chief” Material
" What so BRILLIANT about losing to Obama then going back to Alaska to quit on your state? When did celebrating failure become honorable?
