Not until you get into the article does it show that she was talking about Russia invading a NATO ally.

That cannot be repeated often enough:

When asked by Gibson if under the NATO treaty, the U.S. would have to go to war if Russia again invaded Georgia, Govenor Palin responded: "Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a NATO ally, is if another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help.

"And we've got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable," she told ABC News' Charles Gibson in an exclusive interview.

Be on the alert for statements comparing her to Barry Goldwater.

Thats the quote libs will pound away on. Not only will they say she`s a war monger itching for nuclear war with Russia, they will say she does`nt realize Georgia isn`t a member of NATO.
