Sarah Palin, whom I support as the 2012 Republican presidential candidate, is obviously focusing on a foreign policy strategy and Peter Schweizer is going to help her present a coherent, defined foreign policy in a Palin administration that will be unlike that of President Bush and certainly unlike Obama's failed policies of - the bin Laden operation excepted - appeasement. This is what a presidential candidate does. I'm sure she has also formulated a domestic agenda that will cut tax rates (corporate and individual), open U.S. land to oil exploration/drilling and begin to whittle back entitlement spending. Until she declares her candidacy for the GOP nomination and presents her platform we can only speculate but I'm very encouraged by Sarah Palin's choice for a foreign policy adviser.

However, She'll be hammered with a million questions about her policies, once she declares. Most of them hoping to trip her up and make her appear stupid and/or 'dangerous' (as Reagan was habitually termed by the MSM during the 1980 presidential campaign). This is why she needs to have a clear, coherent agenda for foreign policy that she can present with both brevity and clarity. I believe she'll accomplish that. Sarah Palin knows what she's in for. I believe her love of country, personal integrity and strength of character will enable her to reach the American people in a way that they'll see the advantage in voting for her and leaving Mr. Hope & Change behind as a failed experiment.

I love Sarah too and will vote for her no matter who gets nominated. But I think she needs to be able to answer this question with ONE SENTENCE:

“Why do you favor keeping troops in Afghanistan now that al Qaeda has been routed out of there and its leader killed?”

This Peter Schwiezer guy has to give her this answer and in one sentence so that voters understand her position or he is pointless. People don’t wanna hear a lotta nuanced, professorial BS about this.

On the other hand, she can just say “if elected I’m getting us outta there right away” and never face the question.
