Aside from Israel, the entire Middle East and North Africa can go to Hell as far as I'm concerned.
All Palin is saying that if you're going to commit troops either fight to win or don't go at all.
Obama has not said he would commit troops. He has said the opposite.
The issue keeps getting skirted.

In several postings throughout this very thread, people (including me) have pointed out the instances where Palin calls for (in her special Palin way) regime change.
She doesn't say how that change should come about, or what America's role should be (beyond the fact that she won't rule out the deployment of American ground forces) or how much it would cost or who would replace the regime, but that it should happen as it relates to this particular crisis.
I'm reminded of the dog froths at the mouth as he chases down the street hoping to catch the elusive car. He loves the chase, but hasn't thought for a moment about what he would do should he actually get his teeth around the bumper.
In this analogy, who do you think is the dog, and who do you think is the car?
