ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is calling for President Obama to take a firm stance against North Korea and defend the states and territories of the United States and allies on the Korean peninsula.
North Korea fired a short-range missile on Friday - the sixth this week. Military experts believe a long-range missile could reach Alaska, where part of the nation's missile defense system is located.

Anyone on or off the Palin ping, write me.
Go Sarah Go.
A stateswoman speaks, too bad she isn’t Vice President.
She is going to go the distance next time.
Go Sarah.
So what exactly is a “firm stand”? Is that different from the usual “dim view” they take? The truth is we aren’t going to do anything about NK. What could we do? Invade? Bomb the heck out of them? Even if some think that’s a swell idea, it’s not going to happen. This is all bluster. The only country that can influence NK right now is China. The ball is in their court.
I’m fed up with all these politicians. Anyone who thinks they are going to do what they say is delusional.
Hey, how about not cutting funding for Missile Defense? If we can’t hit North Korea, we should at least be able to defend our selves, right? That’s where the difference lies between Palin and 0bama.
There are thousands of differences between Palin and Obama.
Then she should have spoken up for missile defense instead of making a silly statement about taking a “firm stand”. That is completely meaningless.
You mean like:
Palin targets proposed Obama cuts to missile defense
Governor Calls Obamas Cuts 'Outrageous' Proposed Budget Cuts for Fiscal Year 2010
Palin Against Missile Defense Budget Cuts Sends Letter to Secretary of Defense
By then it'll be too late to say, "I warned you, but you wouldn't listen."
It’s offical, she is running for President of the United States.
I like to see somebody with the name “tet68” support Sarah. I assume you are a war vet. That tells me this is not just a generational thing. Not just young guys like me want Sarah to be our next President.
Who really cares if SP’s call for a firm stand means anything. The important thing is to attempt to put 0bama on the defensive. SP realizes she has to steadily chip away at this buffoon’s clay feet from now until Nov. ‘12.
A firm stand is like what Bush 41 told Saddam Hussein, "This will not stand". Then kicking ass, as needed.
Yeah, but she can’t hold a candle to our current VP; he’s so much more articulate and intelligent than her~ remember?
What is wrong with advocating a ‘firm stand’. Is drawing a line in the sand passe? Should the USA just stand by and be an onlooker to a N. Korean missile destroying the city of Anchorage.
What is the oppposite of firm stand? Apologizing to N. Korea for fighting against it during the Korean War.
