Spoken like a REAL Commander in Chief!!
RUN SARAH RUN!!!
“We join the Libyan people in gratefulness as we hear of Col. Gaddafis defeat.”
Count me out on this one. This will prove to be as toxic as the overthrow of the Shah. Just watch.
But then if Sarah was in the White House, we wouldn't worried about that crap jumping across the Atlantic like we are now.
I agree with you.
She really needs to speak more on policy - Karl Rover (or was it Krauthammer, or was it both?)
Very sensible, presidential-quality comments by Sarah Palin on the fall of the tyrant, Gaddafi and his corrupt dictatorship. Palin cautions about premature celebration and is definite that the U.S. should, in effect, stay out of Libya until we can see what the new government will look like. No ‘humanitarian’ missions. She urges diplomatic means to push for democracy but clearly understands that the some of the rebels have ties to Al-Qaeda and that things could go badly in Libya. Overall, a measured response to the overthrow of the Gaddafi regime and not much to complain about, although some will find something, I’m sure, especially those on the left.
Sarah Palin Bump!
Yes.
That is exactly what it was.
Little bammy?
Thot! . . . SWING AND A MISS!

>People of Libya, be vigilant. May this opportunity be used to build a free and peaceful country.<
.
Does one really think that these muslim revolutionaries will listen to an infidel? Besides, building a free and peaceful sharia-run country is an oxymoron.
La-la land revisited.
All you have to do is look at Libya's neighbor, Egypt, with Mubarak's overthrow, to know where things are headed.
I agree with your take. I’m not excited about what’s going on in Libya and I never celebrated over Kosovo either.
I would only be able to celebrate if his defeat meant that the subjugation of women - and other problems inherent in Islamic society - would come to an end. I fear - based on what I’ve read - that indeed the radicals will take control and it will only be worse. And, if his defeat came at the hands of the people of Libya themselves and not help from the US that emboldened the same people who we are at war with in other regions...
I’m waiting to hear the lefties and liberals crying about how we interfered in Libya, and brought about this regime change like they complain about every other situation similar to this one... All I hear is crickets...
That said, I think Sarah handled the situation correctly in what she wrote here. Definitely Presidential and leader-like vs. anything the pres__ent has done since taking office.
“Count me out on this one.”
Whatever that means. I doubt anyone is counting on you for anything.
“This will prove to be as toxic as the overthrow of the Shah.”
Very doubtful. Too many differences. Libya - Arabic, Iran - Not. Libya Sunni, Iran - Not. Shah of Iran - was U.S. Client and modernizer. Qadaffi - Avowed enemy of U.S. and Sponsor of State sanctioned terrorism. Iran borders Caspian Sea and Persian Gulf. Libya - Mediterranean. Iran - economic and political ties to CIS and SW Asia. Libya - economic and political ties to Europe and Africa. I think Qadaffi’s successors will want to do business. With Europe.
“Just watch.”
We will.
Just watch.’
