Sarah Palin: Another “WTF” Obama Foreign Policy Moment

Sarah Palin's Facebook Notes ^ | June 9, 2011 | Sarah Palin

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

As Governor I fought the Obama Administration’s plans to cut funds for missile defense in Alaska. So imagine how appalled and surprised I was to read this article by former Clinton CIA Director James Woolsey, appropriately titled “Giving Away the Farm,” concerning President Obama’s latest bizarre actions relating to missile defense.

President Obama wants to give Russia our missile defense secrets because he believes that we can buy their friendship and cooperation with this taxpayer-funded gift. But giving military secrets and technologies to a rival or competitor like Russia is just plain dumb. You can’t buy off Russia. And giving them advanced military technology will not create stability. What happens if Russia gives this technology (or sells it!) to other countries like Iran or China? After all, as Woolsey points out, Russia helped Iran with its missile and nuclear programs. Or what happens if an even more hardline leader comes to power in the Kremlin?

We tried buying off the Kremlin with technologies in the 1970s. That policy was a component of “detente,” and the hope was that if we would share our technologies with them, they would become more peaceful. Things, of course, didn’t work out that way. The Kremlin took western technologies and embarked on a massive military building program. History teaches that peace comes from American military strength. And a central component of that has always been technological superiority. Why would President Obama even dream of giving this away?

Members of Congress saw how foolish President Obama’s gambit was, so they put a section in the defense appropriation bill that specifically forbids the federal government from spending money to share these technologies with the Kremlin. President Obama actually threatened to veto the defense appropriation bill over this section of the law! Fortunately, the House passed the bill with a veto-proof majority, a whopping 322 to 96. Attention now turns to the Senate.

Why is it that President Obama seems to work so hard to give things to our enemies, while at the same time asking friends and allies like Israel to make sacrifices?

During these tough economic times when we are facing massive deficits and a competitive global economy, does President Obama really want to give away technologies that the American taxpayer paid lots of money to develop? Giving away our missile defense secrets won’t make us safer. What it will do is create a situation where we are facing an arms race with ourselves. Russia gets access to our technologies, and we are forced to spend even more money because of the need to stay ahead. Does this make sense to you? Me neither. File this under “WTF”.

Indeed. The Guardian is several continents to the left of Mao and Stalin. Enjoyed primarily by the Chardonny Socialist set and best deposited in the nearest waste recepticle with extreme alacrity.

I agree. However, the difficulty for Palin in this respect is that she does not have the MSM on her side. So, in order for her to get the word out about her opinion on something, she cannot be as nuanced as ‘the one’ is allowed to be.

Plus, every little statement of that nature that she makes will be replayed by the media every chance they get when they think it will hurt her. Not so with ‘the president of the 58 states of the US’.

So, in effect, she is held to a higher, double standard.

sucks

[Real Cynic No More]

Why so many of us so-called conservatives are anti-Palin is beyond my ability to comprehend. Is it that they fear her just because she’s a babe, or is it because she has a mind of her own and doesn’t need a handler to tell her what to think or say?

[MestaMachine]

“so-called conservatives”

You answered your own question.

[MestaMachine]

“best deposited in the nearest waste recepticle with extreme alacrity.”

And really quick too...ROFL

What we need to do is to make sure Antisemitism is NOT Tolerated, anyone who is Jewish, Has Jewish Blood, Noahide, or is just a Philo-Semite, needs to drill it home to their friends and Family that this is our last shot as a country, we need to praise HaShem in the Streets, to not be afraid to say, "I am Jewish, or I am a Proud Zionist".

I believe you are correct in your statement that this country still does believe and love G-D, while people don't do the whole "HAVE YOU ACCPETED JESUS INTO YOUR LIFE TODAY MISSY?" thing (which I think is good) but if religion or a prayer comes up no one has feels uncomfortable.

Like Rush says, WE are the Majority, the Jews and Christians who make up this country, not the Ubama lovers, not the Billy Ayers Murders, not the Looters, and not the G-D Haters. We are, and if this Union can no longer remain obedient to the Laws HaShem gave to Moses, than maybe we need to form a new union. G-D Help us.

As for Israel, Zionism needs to be more heavily entrenched there if they are to survive as well

[KC_Lion]

If you don't mind me asking, which country does your friend live in?

I have been trying to learn more about the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, they had (mostly) religious freedom, and I believe that is Why a lot of Jews fled from countries like France and the Netherlands ( I am talking about the 1600's here, but the story repeated its self in WW2, when the Progressive French and Dutch couldn't have over their Jews fast enough) to the Republic of the East.

Precisely and I need a favor.

Please see your mail!

[RedMDer]

Got it.

[Republic of Texas]

These days when a Democrat American President commits treason, he is rewarded with a Nobel Peace Prize.

[lonevoice]

Classy. She’s now back in the mix with the people I’ll probably never vote for.

Yes, yes. Because if only she hadn't typed "WTF", you might have, could have, would have voted for her. Would that have been before, or after, you wrote this post last week?

"I’m not a Palin fan, in fact, I can barely stand her."

Vote for whomever you like, but at least be honest about it.

[Finny]

... we Cannot survive as a Union, Four More Years of Ubama, we just can't ...

Please, folks, get a grip. Panic and fear leads too often to stupid decisions -- witness the rise of RINOs in the GOP: they rose because I and Republicans like me voted for them out of fear rather than cool, calm sense.

Obama is NOT "King of America," and the Founders created a system such that indeed, we COULD survive four more years. RESIST the urge to panic. IF, God forbid, Obama didn't lose, Congress, which is moving more and more to the right, would restrict him, and a growing movement toward destroying vote fraud, manufacture, and manipulation, would bring even more power to bear on shackling Obama.

With all respect, GET A GRIP, and please resist the urge to fall into blind panic. Panic is how liberalism has taken over the GOP. Now is a time for courage and calm assessment.

Obama told us he would disarm America in his 52-second campaign video.

Obama was raised by an atheist mother who hated America, third-world muslim daddies who hated America, tutored by CPUSA Frank Marshall Davis, mentored by unrepentant Communist radical Bill Ayers, subsidized by the soros-soviet-sino-saudi consortium.

Clinton in 1995 allowed his big donors Bernard L. Schwartz of Loral and C. Michael Armstrong of Hughes to send the PLA a 200-page fax of our missile secrets.

JFK was described by the Warren Commission Secret Service liason Elmer Moore as a "traitor" who "was giving things to the Russians."

Treason never prospers--what's the reason
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason

We are officially in interesting times--and Sarah and Woolsey get it

[Gargantua]

This Quisling hutu son of a bitch should be immeditaely and publicly tried for Treason Against The United States of America During Wartime, and convicted followed by immediate execution of sentence.

We are not the subjects under the control of our Monarchy, we are the CEO's sitting behind the desk giving this rat-bag socialist thug his monthly review!

And he has FAILED!!!

Persident Palin will see him behind bars, of this I am certain.

[KC_Lion]

Obama is destroying that system that the founders set up, I a mean, a man has been fined 90,000 dollars for selling $200 worth of Bunnies, Boehner is like that hump in parking lots, more an inconvenience rather than a solid wall, Obama Will continue to issue regulations and judges , and THAT is what is killing us, all those regulations.

The Assessment is this, Obama needs to be in the Unemployment lines on January 21st, 2013 or you will start hearing songs like this here is another fun fact, from the Georgia state Assembly Georgia will declare the Federal Government of the Untied States illegitimate if any more regluation attempts are made to restrict Gun or Ammunition ownership

We have a duty as citizens to take a stand when things become irreversibly, not to keep paying the looters until it hurts.

[Gargantua]

Hi, nice smart person! You're now back in the mix of people I would most love to meet, and shake their hand. Maybe share a nice, warm hug. Kissy-kisses!

8^D

[Sea Parrot]

” It’s pretty obvious who he considers “friends” and who he considers “allies”.”

“Ooops! That should be “considers ‘enemies’ and who he considers ‘allies’.”

Not necessarily so, IMO you were correct with first post. What normal Americans consider (potential) enemies, Obama considers them to be his personal allies to further his agenda

[exit82]

Obama hates America.

Sarah loves America.

And no, Charles K., Sarah needs not to be schooled to call out a traitor when she sees one.

[demshateGod]

No way!

Thanks for the ping!
