“Palin who seemingly went to ground following her and Senator John McCain electoral loss to Obama in 2008 has recently become more publicly active, joining Fox News as an analyst and commentator and speaking out more on current political events.”
Who wrote this, Baghdad Bob?
Okay, now they’re just making stuff up about what she said. By the way, it’s probably a blog saying this, although I don’t know because I won’t dignify it with a hit.
LOL she never said she wanted to go to war with Iran..she was making a hypothetical statement that if Obama has ANY chance in winning in 2012, he would have to show he is tough on terror, and if Iran has nuclear weapons and is a threat to Israel, that he might show some balls and attack Iran. Obama will NEVER do it because Obama is butt buddies with terrorist leaders
Iran had their revolution in 1979. The U.S. is going into another Depression. Let’s take care of US for a change.
I think she Quoted Reagan “ We win, they Lose”
Patently false to what Palin said. She was speculating to what would happen to Obama’s future political fortunes if he did indeed declare war on Iran. Nowhere did Palin mention her own personal preference towards Iran except in the same comment she hoped that Obama would begin to form a tighter relationship with Israel.
Look out Iran, President Palin will declare war on you in 2013.
Well, we have two choices. Iran with nuclear weapons or war with Iran (not necessarily total war, but, you know, in the very least blockades and such). I’d love the discussion to be framed that way, instead of the old “We’re trying diplomacy, too, but our diplomacy is better than yours!”
I wonder what her husband’s views on this are?
It looks to me like the “which” refers to the closer of the two clauses, the one about support for Israel.
Writer = english as a second language.
I suppose the actual quotes were unavailable to this presstitute?
In the Fox News Sunday interview with Chris Wallace, she specifically said she didn’t think Obama would “play the war card”. Adding:
“I’m saying, if he did, things would dramatically change if he decided to toughen up and do all that he can to secure our nation and our allies. I think people would perhaps shift their thinking a little bit and decide, well, maybe he’s tougher than we think he is today. And there wouldn’t be as much passion to make sure that he doesn’t serve another four years —”
Any theory that Palin wants to go to war with Iran is a result of too many bong hits by the author.
She parenthetically said she’d like him to defend Israel better. Anyone who knows anything about Sarah or read the intonation of her comments understands she wasn’t also talking about liking him to bomb Iran. In fact, in her comments the night before she said she’d like him to impose sanctions on Iran.
Bet he’ll kiss their arses first.
You’ve GOT to be kidding! It sure would be nice for folks to check for accuracy and context before making accusations left and right.
Here is the actual transcrip of that interview:
“WALLACE: I know that three years is an eternity in politics. But how hard do you think President Obama will be to defeat in 2012?
PALIN: It depends on a few things. Say he played, and I got this from Buchanan, reading one of his columns the other day. Say he played the war card. Say he decided to declare war on Iran, or decided to really come out and do whatever he could to support Israel, which I would like him to do. But that changes the dynamics in what we can assume is going to happen between now and three years. Because I think if the election were today, I do not think Obama would be re-elected.”

Where does she actually stand on Iran? Here in her own words from Saturday night’s speech:
“We need a strong national defense. I think you would agree with me, as — as Reagan used to talk about that “peace through strength.” And in that respect, I applaud the President for following at least a part of the recommendations made by our commanders on the ground to send in some more reinforcements to Afghanistan. Now, though he, we must spend less time courting our adversaries, spending more more time working with our allies. And we must build effective coalitions capable of confronting dangerous regimes like Iran and North Korea. It’s time for more than just tough talk. Just like you — probably just so tired of hearing the talk, talk, talk. Tired of hearing the talk.”
“It’s time for some tough actions, like sanctions on Iran. And in places in the world where people are struggling and oppressed and they’re fighting for freedom, America must stand with them. We need a clear foreign policy that stands with the people and for democracy — one that reflects both our values and our interests, and it is in our best interests, because democracies — they don’t go to war with each other. They can settle their differences peacefully.”
I don’t understand why we have not taken a couple flights of B2s armed with 2000lb JDAMs and cut off the head of the snake all at once. They would never know what hit them. We certainly know when the mullahes meet and where...if not, CIA can ask Mossad....Nobody needs to go in on the ground...just decapitate Iran.
