Sarah Palin Changes Foreign Policy Team, Hires Peter Schweizer
ABCNews ^ | Tuesday May 3, 2011

Posted on 05/03/2011 9:40:42 AM PDT by Bigtigermike

Sarah Palin has a new foreign policy adviser.  Out is Randy Scheunemann, one of the few remaining links to her time on the McCain/Palin ticket, and in is Peter Schweizer, a fellow at the Hoover Institution......

Incoming adviser Peter Schweizer is seen to view the United States with a more limited role in world affairs.

The shift in adviser might have been reflected in a foreign policy speech Palin delivered last night in Colorado.  She called on American foreign policy to have “clearly defined objectives.” In recent weeks she has been critical of U.S. policy in Libya for its “lack of clarity.”

In Colorado last night, Palin said, "We can't fight every war…We can't undo every injustice in the world.” Read more about her Colorado speech here.

Given the state of our budget, we know that huge spending cuts are coming. I have no doubt that cuts will eventually impact Education, Energy and other -- normally "protected" -- parts of government. But people in both parties always seem eager to cut Defense Spending. That is likely to be the first place for cutbacks, whether we like it or not.

So, given the extreme likelihood that our military capabilities will be decreasing, how should we plan for the future? Less intervention, less nation building, less foreign entanglements seem like no brainers. I'd say Palin is on the right path, as usual.

There's a cost of doing all that we do, and there'll be a cost for not doing what we've been doing.

While it may well be a "no-brainer" to think about cutting back drastically our overseas commitments and involvement, it's going to take a lot of thought and discussion to decide where and what we cut back, and how we can do some of the same things differently and much more cheaply or efficiently.

Amen...

And it’s not our job to do so. Forgot to add that.

This is impressive. Schweitzer is a good scholar and a strong Cold Warrior in the Reagan years. In my book, this is the first solid appointment she’s made, so let’s hope she keeps up the trend.

Since the Madison WI speech Palin continues to make point by point moves to destory the “she isn’t running meme” A very great planned and executed strategy to push back the RINO meme of she isn’t running.

I don’t think anyone in RINOville is even pushing that meme anymore. They can’t.

Only thing left is for her to go visit IA, NH and SC.

Listen, when one hires someone from McCain’s former campaign staff, one who can easily be traced to Soros funded groups, it is hardly bullshit. As I said, thank you Sarah for finally waking UP!
