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."

Probably the same as how the conservatives feel that Palin's on the same side as Obama.
Well, exactly what power do you think she has right now that would make one darn bit of difference? You seem to think that Sarah can change this. No, you don’t think that you just don’t and have never liked her.
Okay, you don’t like her position. We get it. I’m beginning to think ‘big deal Old Deck Hand doesn’t like what Sarah said’. Whoopty do. Seriously.
What’s Mitt and Huck got to say about this?
Yeah, I'll put that on my list - right after I've taken that course on clairvoyance that you (apparently) teach.
"Sarah wasn't advocating a war."
If she wasn't advocating a war, then what does she mean with this statement?
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.
How is Qaddafi "going to be gone", if it's not with force? How is President Palin going to make Qadaffi "gone"?
"She has said that if you start something like this(On either a different interview or at a different point in this one)you are "in it to win it" else you get your tail out."
OK, terrific. That begs the question - since she was the FIRST person to advocate starting this (see: Palin Doctrine), what does President Palin mean when she says, "in it to win it"?
"She has not said we should put boots on the ground, nor is she saying we should flatten Libya, she is saying Bozo is a terribly weak leader, especially if, after having started this thing, he hands over leadership to other countries. "
OK, so she's saying that Obama is a terrible leader, but she's not telling us how she would lead? If she is telling us how she would lead, would you be kind enough to post where that statement can be found?
Maybe it is time to elect an________________, fill in the affirmative action space.
The other thing to consider is that Palin does not have access to the same information that the White House does, so she is making her projections based on what she sees reported in the media, which as we know usually bears little resemblance to reality.
I thought the ovaries statement must have been made by a pig!
Well done!
PALIN / WEST CRUSH THE LEFT!
Yeah, nice try at a segway but stay on topic.
You’re one of Pissy’s pals aren’t you? I remember you from all the threads he trolled. Following right behind.
Since when is the mission to oust Qadaffi?!?
There, fixed it for you.
To be clear, does that mean "in it to win it" just like it does in Afghanistan or Iraq?
"She said she also thought the Libyan rebels would kill Qadaffi, taking the question of what to do with him off the table. "
Just like the Afghanistan tribal rebels got bin Laden, Mullah Omar et. al?
And you missed the thread, on the time to elect a woman statement, try search, the ovaries statement was made by a lady, for your information.
Maybe not so much "the mission" but she stated she supports getting rid of him (dead if necessary) for killing Americans.
“She has not said we should put boots on the ground”
Yes, she did - 2 weeks ago.
“Certainly a no fly zone,” Palin said. “I hate to say, jeez, more troops on the ground. You know send more of our brave young men and women over there in Libya. When yes, 41 years of Gadhafi. Hes got to go.”

Since, like, always - or something. And, if you have something to say about it, you're probably a troll - or something.
Qadaffi has to go, never mind how that happens or who makes it happens, how long it takes, or how much it costs. That's the mission, and we better be "in it to win it".
Wrong, I am the person that posted the information about the plane that never flew about his hero’s love for pork.
Key words, "believed to be". Would you agree we need more intel?
Qadaffi is a KNOWN terrorist. Why keep a known terrorist who has done terrorist acts against Americans all over the world if you're going to start a military action anyway?
Are you actually arguing that we should support Qadaffi over the rebels, without any real intel as to who they are?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A) Please cite when/where she said this. She may have said it but since you seem to know where/when please cite.
B) Since nobody know exactly who is funding/leading/supporting the rebels or what their goal is or what their agenda toward the US and Israel will be why in God's name should we support them?
Well then some other GOP Candidates are ahead of her in the intelligence collecting department because while Palin is still insisting that we join the coalition of Al Qaeda in Libya the other candidates had already caught on days ago.
