The call by the Arab League for Western military intervention in an Arab state in this case asking that a UN no-fly zone be imposed over Libya is not only without precedent but it puts in formal terms what Governor Palin stated three weeks ago should have been Americas response to the political and humanitarian crisis now unfolding there.
The former GOP vice presidential candidate was being interviewed on February 23rd on national television by Sean Hannity on a range of issues. On the Libya crisis, she proposed a no-fly-zone to protect the armed and un-armed opposition to the Qaddafi regime. Mrs. Palins formulation had been blogged about for nearly a week when it was echoed by the man who, before the Iraq war, had led the Iraq democratic movement in exile, Ahmed Chalabi.
A long-time foe of Saddam Hussein who has emerged as a leading figure in Iraqs democratically elected legislature. Mr Chalabi recounted in the Wall Street Journal how President George H. W. Bushs 1991 call for a popular uprising against Saddam had been heeded by the Iraqi people, only to have Saddam then murder some 30,000 of them from helicopter gunships while the Western world stood by.....

Sorry honey,
Gulf War, Afghanistan, Iraq are the major military engagements of the last few decades.
Unless you are playing “Risk” or “Battleship”, then I suppose you’d have some other evidence to put forward.
You have nothing.
Ahhh... you can’t answer the question so misrepresent the question. How creative. NOT.
In what countries did the neocons WANT to have the military intercede?
The list is much longer.
Thankfully, every action urged by these liberal misfits did not result in “major military engagements” by the U.S.
lol....nutt’n honey
“Mrs. Palin also continues to link Americas energy policy a realm in which she has experience and U.S. foreign and anti-terrorism policies. She recognizes that the ongoing transfer of billions of U.S. petro-dollars to unstable or even hostile Mideast regimes has, since the formation in 1973 of the Organization of Petoleum Exporting Countries, been an drain on U.S. financial resources.”
Woohoo! Way to bump the thread in hopes someone doesn’t notice your ignorance.
Good job!
The thread is about Palin...
You’re off the reservation...the PaulBot nuts and conspiracy nuts like you are off topic...I think you’ve hijacked the thread quite enough.
In lieu of that...
“Mrs. Palin laid out how the presidents war on domestic oil and gas exploration and production has caused us pain at the pump, endangered our already sluggish economic recovery, and threatened our national security. Nor is Gov. Palins insight into complex international issues limited to areas of her immediate expertise.”
You do know that Richard Perle wrote that in the neos WH Office of Special Plans organization bylaws.
"Just so happened" that got him billions in start-up costs for his ME oil business using US tax dollars.
Shucks, Perle and his cronies never did release the list of ME countries they wanted the US to invade (/snix).
Yep. And she's sounding more and more like a mouthpiece for Kristol and his neocon minions. I made a comment about her call for a "no fly zone" to which you responded, trying to support your contention that neocons are strong on "national defense." That you can't acknowledge their true agenda, despite decades of writings and policy positions, is not my fault.
Youre off the reservation...the PaulBot nuts and conspiracy nuts like you are off topic...
I'm not a PaulBot, nor a nut. I'm a conservative. When folks promote ideologies that are definitively NOT conservative, don't expect me to support it.

No, I didn't know that. But it doesn't surprise me.

LOL. Yeah -- they only wrote about it in every op-ed, letters to Presidents and policy papers published by one of their many "foundations" for the last three decades. But since they don't have an ongoing published list, I guess it never happened. /s
“The Washington Posts Jennifer Rubin certainly no knee-jerk advocate for Sarah Palin wrote just a few weeks ago that Palin turns out to have been correct in the prediction she made to Barbara Walters, in a much-noted November 2009 interview. Palin stated she was opposed to Obamas opposition to Israels settlement policies because [m]ore and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead. Now, as Rubin noted, Israels Central Bureau of Statistics confirms that the pace of immigration to Israel rose 14% to 16,633 from the level in 2009, most coming from Russia or America.”
