Former GOP vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor Sarah Palin told a Washington audience Saturday that the U.S. should not get involved in the Syrian civil war.
Palin argued that the U.S. should not intervene in any Middle East conflict as long as President Obama remains in office. Until we have a commander in chief who knows what he is doing....let Allah sort it out! she told the Faith and Freedom Coalition.
The statement shows how far Palin has drifted from former running mate Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), who is the chief Senate proponent of U.S. military action to help the Syrian rebels.

I know that’s how a lot of folks wish to remember it. That’s not the whole story.
Yes, she only spent a day in the state if I remember accurately. She also cut some spots for radio broadcast, and those were aired non-stop for months at a time throughout the state.
She also made appearances in front of the Tea Party, and assured them McCain was one with them, a real Conservative.
The other primary contestant on the Republican side took a ten point hit after Palin’s appearances. Just imagine if she had stood up for the things she believed, and had called McCain on the carpet for his treachery. I think it could have made a very big difference.
Would it have altered the outcome of the primary race? I don’t honestly know. It very well could not have. I’d sure like to know if it could have, and we’ll never really know that. That’s the shame of it.
Sarah Palin is correct. I would go one step further.
President Obama has chosen sides in Libya and Egypt. In both cases, he chose to overturn the ruling government so that it would be replaced by a much more Islamic government. In both cases, the opposition espoused Sharia Law as part of the solution needed.
Now, FOR THE THIRD TIME, President Obama has chosen to throw in with the opposition, KNOWING that the opposition is radically Islamic.
You don’t have to guess or use conjecture because of his background. President Obama’s ACTIONS have proven that he is committed to putting Islamists in power.
WAKE UP, AMERICA!
I hope this quote appears in the state controlled media on Sunday or Monday. I enjoy watching liberal/democRAT/marxist/socialist (sorry for the redundancy) heads explode.

I’m still in love!
When I woke up this morning, Sarah Palin was trending on twitter and I did not know why(I had forgotten she was supposed to speak today) now I know why..and isnt it funny how the lib media keeps on calling Sarah irrelevant yet every leftist paper including Politico is quoting Sarah’s every word..I LOVE it and I bet that Sarah is enjoying it too..she has been living rent free in libs heads since 2008
Yep, and it's most enjoyable to watch.

She may have thought, for a while, that he was for real.
Most American conservatives thought the Bushes and Rove were for real. For a long time.
I agree with you on that. McCain is probably the worst Republican I know of. I was just stating why I think she did it, though I think it wasn’t a wise idea.
Thanks for posting that. You saved me the trouble. Right on point.
My only problem with her as it relates to him was her endorsement of him in 2010 to return to Washington.
McCain put Sarah in a very difficult position when he asked for her endorsement in his last Senate race. He had to know that her endorsement would be the kiss of death with some of her very conservative supporters, but did he care? Not a whit.
If she'd failed to give him her endorsement, the left would have hung the 'ungrateful backstabbing wretch' label around her neck for life.
Rock and a hard place, that one.
We are truly on the same page there. I'd give almost anything to see Sarah Palin sworn in as the next President.
She is speaking of the same concerns held by many; she just knows how to say it better.
I can sign on to that idea. She’s old enough to know better, but with kids and other things taking up your time, you don’t always get to see the nitty gritty with guys like McCain.
Hopefully she’ll season with time, can become much more in tune with his antics, so she can avoid the terrible advice he’s bound to try to foist off on her.
I saw Bush as a big spending governor, and was afraid where he would lead us from the White House. When I say big spending, his fix for the Texas education system was to throw money at it and hope some of it stuck. And then, his no child left behind nonsense, that’s just liberal gobble-d-goop as far as I was concerned. Compassionate Conservative? I mean that’s just a slap at your every day Conservative right there.
This guy telegraphed his weaknesses way in advance.
I had not use for him.
You are accurate in that he fooled a lot of folks.
Thanks EEGator. I understand. I appreciate the follow-up.
Take care.
How about "Allah La La"?
Ooops. I better be careful or they will take offense and burn Trashcanistan.
LaLaLa Allah, LaLaLa Allah, LaLaLa Allah.
To the tune of the Umbrella song.
Obama’s revolution across the ME known as Arab Spring would never have occurred, had he not Been placed in office.
She called it a hot mess, lol!
Better yet, don't give ANY money or foreign aid of any sort, including refugee aid to the RAT bastard muzzie nations. The Saudis & UAE & Persian gulf nations are awash in oil cash. Let them pay for the refugee aid. Or let Allah sort it out as Sarah Palin said. WTH do we have any obligation to support the muzzie terrorists. And they're all either terrorists or terrorist supports. Let these muzzie bastards pay for their own refugee aid.
And I agree with you on not taking any of these refugees at all, into the U.S.
Let's say Sarah did not endorse Mcain. What would likely have happened.
First, the media would have gone absolutely nuts. It would have been non-stop, Palin is not loyal, etc...
Second, RATS would have been inspired more to vote for McCain to prove her wrong. Heck, the MSM and the DNC would likely have sabotaged Glassman, the RAT running..
BTW, McCain won by a landslide in 2010, so Sarah's support one way or another would most likely have made no difference. So, please let the endorsement go... Sarah is a true Conservative.
