"Thomas sowell hit the nail right on the head. Gov. Palin IS the only one with executive experience. She is the commandar-in-chief of the Alaska National Guard (even going to the middle east to visit her guard units serving there), and is the executive officer of over 12,000 Alaska state employees. Thank you Thomas Sowell for your insight. "
I heard this morning that the Alaska National Guard is the only guard unit in the United States that is on FULL ALERT 24/7. They have an active anti-nuclear missile battery that Governor Palin is in direct command of. She is also the CIC of the Alaska Militia which is totally separate from the National Guard.
“They have an active anti-nuclear missile battery that Governor Palin is in direct command of.”
WHAT?????
Can you please cite your source for that statement? The USA, as yet, does not have a ballistic (your “nuclear”) missile defense system. We ARE working to develop one, AKA “Star Wars”, but it's few years away from deployment. What you may have heard of are some old NIKE anti-AIRCRAFT missile batteries, but SHE doesn't command them!
As I said in an earlier post, Sarah Palin is a great VP choice; and she has shown a genuine interest in the Alaska Guard (much more so than the obamanation has any units), but let's not exaggerate her credentials; they're strong enough without it!
