On Fox Wednesday night, Sarah Palin said U.S. intervention in Libya will be a failure if Muammar Gaddafi remains in power.
"America will have failed if we turn over command-and-control of this mission, and the mission of ousting Gaddafi is not fulfilled.
It will be failure."

So there's no chemical basis for your bad behavior. Apparently your problem is that you lack both manners and self-control. You claim to be a Christian: read James 3.
b) you weren't there on the other thread to see the ex-wife troll nagging me to death,
No sympathy. If you're a man, take it like a man.
c) yes, her constant bashing of Palin draws my ire, so let that influence your future behavior on these pro-Palin threads.
Let's get absolutely clear on something. Your girl Sarah has pretensions of running for President of the United States. As such, she has a responsibility to herself, and to the people on whose votes she will rely, to think before speaking, to actually say things that have meaning, and to say in no uncertain terms what she would do as president. She's out of time -- either she starts acting like she's serious about the presidency, or she needs to get the hell out.
Instead she babbles -- this interview being a case in point. In that sense, she's doing you a real disservice. And you're doing yourself an even greater disservice by not holding her to any standards worth the name.
Lindy is not "bashing," she's comparing Sarah Palin against what a presidential candidate ought to be saying and doing.
These are times that call for no-shit, no-nonsense leader in the Oval Office. Sarah Palin is showing that she's not that person. Maybe it's time for you to figure that out.
That fact holds particularly true in regards to Palin's record as Mayor of Wasilla and Governor. In both cases, she set records in increased spending. Another point in particular, is how they claim she finally brought down Oil Company "corruption" and gave the money back to the people of Alaska.
When in fact, for over 2 decades, those Oil Companies were already paying over 75% of all the states operating costs, paying a Dividend averaging $1,000.00 to every man women and child, and eliminated the need for a State Income Tax. And they made it sound like it was all Palin's idea in the first place and had never been done before she came along.
In reality, her punitive tax on the oil companies caused them so reduce production and exploration because it caused them to operate at a loss or near loss.
You always start it but you aren’t man enough to admit you start all the trouble.
I feel kind of sorry for you. There is an insane asylum missing an inmate.
Now go away. Enough.
I think you have already been awarded the “sniveling adolescent” category, judging by how you come across to most people who do not agree with you on most every Palin thread.
If you can’t relay a logical opinion without insulting those who disagree with you, then it’s you who need to shut up for a while.
She spent millions to bring services out to a property that wasn't even owned by the town yet, they had just bid on it. Her administration did not cross the Ts and dot the Is on the deal and while they were dawdling the owner sold to a higher bid.
Wasilla/palin ended up taking the new owner to court. Wasilla/palin lost.
Wasilla/palin then exercised emminent domain to take the property. The court allowed it but set the value at about $1 million higher than the cost would have been if Wasilla/palin had been efficient in the first round.
Yep, a real executive genius.
Her popularity went from 93% when she was first elected, down to 56% when she quit.
And here is another Palin contradiction. How would she make the claim she was a “Lame Duck” with a 56% approval rating? That excuse, was the only “Lame” thing about it. It definitely stunk to high heaven.
Palin said she would get out, what more do you want?
When did you stop abusing your kids? It’s the same thing.
PALIN: I think Qaddafi is going to end up dead through this mission, whether it’s at the hands of the rebels who have turned on him, or whether it’s at the hands of America and her allies as we are engaged in this no-fly zone, which, again, Greta, seems to be turning into much more than that, much more serious than that.
How would she get out? Did she elaborate?
Because Calypso Louie and Reverend Wright would be very upset.
Ask Harry Truman?
Is Palin privy to all the intel that Obama and the Joint Chiefs have? You demand much, from others, but pay no price for you positions.
So was Ronald Reagan.
When Reagan said that, was it at the end of 10-years of demanding conflict that has cost over 5K American lives, and roughly a trillion dollars in debt? And, when he said it, were we still actively involved in two other theaters of combat?
Sarah Palin called for the implementation of a no-fly zone weeks ago. At the same time, she called for the ouster of Qadaffi, and she refused to rule out American service members doing it.
This is the wrong fight, at the wrong time, that is going to cost something (monetarily) that we just can't afford. I don't want to borrow any more money from China to get rid of Moamar Qadaffi.
And, let's not forget that Harry Truman only fought to a draw. As best I can tell, North Korea was still standing, and I believe they still are.
He is not alone, and he seems to have a good grasp of the language, you on the other hand see what you want.
I have one vote only, as do you, make the best of it.
I wish I saw what I wanted, because if that was true, I would have seen a paragraph that didn't appear to be spoken by a high school dropout. I'll repeat it, in case you've forgotten what she said...
" Well, the U.N. obviously wants this -- the role to be of our military just a humanitarian effort per the U.N. resolution that America has been a part of and that's why we are engaged in enacting the no-fly zone. However, again, with Qaddafi having the blood of innocent Americans on his hands -- and we have an opportunity to say, OK, finally, we have -- you're going to be held accountable. You're going to be gone."
That is a mess and is so personally constructed, it's virtually impossible to discern what she's saying. "...the role to be of our military just a humanitarian effort per the U.N. resolution that America", what language is that?
I guess you have a point. Maybe instead of calling for the ouster of of Gaddafi, Palin was saying something entirely different. Heck, she might have been ordering a pizza. You can hardly blame The Hill reporter for coming to the conclusion she did. It's frequently impossible to tell what Palin is saying, unless you have a translator handy.
The socialist terrorist Kaddafi must die.
Now that we have proof that he ordered the Pan Am bombing he must pay for his crimes.
Those who believe he is a "moderate muslim" or an ally of the USA in the War on Terror are deluded fools.
She is just another politician and somewhat below average in relation to what she has actually accomplished. All this sycophantic worship of her is way over the top, as are the attacks on those who point out what they don't like in her.
Remember the Giuliani, Thompson and Hunter days? This is no different, except Palin is not even close to their level as a politician.
Exactly. Politicians should be subjected to nothing but withering critiques of everything they do 24/7. When they do something right our response should be to say how they could have done it better, and when they do wrong we should say how they should have done it right.
You don't give these weasels an inch. And anybody who takes any job in officialdom is a de facto weasel by that very action no matter who they are.
You sure as heck don't build up cults of personality around them.
