The following commentary and photos are thanks to "Eye of Unk" :

There's been a lot of discussion flying around and promoted by the left that Governor Sarah Palin has no foreign relations experience. In short, that's a load of bull from ignorant talking heads who are in a panic over McCain's excellent choice of a running mate.

As Governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin is the Commander in Chief of the Alaska National and Air Guard that combined is a force larger than many third world armies.

Alaska is compelled to take daily defensive postures against Russian TU-95 Bear flights and other frequent incursions.

Governor Palin also is at constant odds with Russia over fishing rights and other aspects of running a state 1/3 the size of the continental United States right next to an aggressive competitive nation with precious little moral boundaries.

"Can I get cheese with that? Hello?!?"

Compare that with Obama's foreign relations experience, which, outside of his "Berlin Bust" was previously relegated to pressing #1 for English or #2 for Spanish.

I really don't think Obama wants to take this debate any farther.

PING - Thanks for the source! Found the articles on the ariel incursions and fishing rights issues via different forums. Amazing what you can't find via Yahoo and Google...

[Caipirabob]

The upcoming debates are going to be fun.

I'm not at all worried about Governor Palin handling herself in them. Heck, Sarah Palin's couch is tougher than Joe Biden...

[catbertz]

Absolutely! The charge is weak. She also happens to have direct experience with two of today’s hot button issues, environmental concerns and energy independence.

Note: The slogan was originally posted to FR by Renfield. Islander7 created the graphic. I've merely taken the initiative in publicizing it. It's so good, it may well be the "Sore/Loserman" of the 2008 election.

Har!

Palin’s state is right next to Russia and the North Pole. Biden’s state is just a few miles from Washington D.C!

ah, yes. It seems to have slipped the minds of the genius elite that the Governor of Alaska is the Chief Executive of a state that is a short hop from a superpower that is hostile to America’s interests.

The irony of a trophy “Bear” and the Russian TU 95 Bear reconnaissance aircraft.

I’m curious to know what Putin thinks of Palin being possibly the next leader of the United States of America.

The fact that the Alaska Air National Guard has F-22s speaks volumes as to how the federal government feels about the importance of Alaska and its National guard in our national defence. How many other national guards have F-22s?

Sarah Palin : I know how to handle the " RUSSIAN BEAR ".

[ab01]

Great bumper sticker. Based on her experience as a Mayor, a Governor, and CIC of the Alaska Guard, a very compelling argument can and should be made that she is the ONLY one on either ticket with any creditable EXECUTIVE experience.

[ari-freedom]

well, obviously

[Former Proud Canadian]

She is the governor of the only state that borders two foreign countries.

Thank you for this awesome graphic. It could not depict more succinctly the differences in our Core Beliefs and our Candidates.

BTW, STOLEN! Hahaha
