Sarah Palin to commit US troops to a war against Russia - GoFuckYourself.com

Sarah Palin shows hawkish streak in first interview

Suzanne Goldenberg and Ewen MacAskill in Washington
The Guardian,
Friday September 12 2008

A hawkish and occasionally combative Sarah Palin warned last night she might commit US troops to a war against Russia in defence of Georgia and Ukraine in her first interview since John McCain chose her as his running mate.

Palin, who admitted last night she made her first trip outside North America last year, also said she was certain she was ready to step in for McCain as president, if the Republican nominee were to be incapacitated. She said repeatedly she would not hesitate to use all options in an international crisis or resort to force against Islamist extremists.

"I have the confidence in that readiness and knowing that you can't blink. You have to be wired in a way of being so committed to the mission, the mission that we're on, reform of this country and victory in the war, you can't blink," Palin told ABC television.

Palin's interview was carefully stage-managed to counter criticism that she lacks foreign policy experience and to deflect media scrutiny of her personal life. But her occasionally stilted answers and uncompromising view of the world could sit uneasily with American voters, weary of the war on Iraq and the deteriorating situation in Afghanistan.

In sometimes tense exchanges, Palin demonstrated a more bellicose posture towards Russia than the Bush administration during the conflict with Georgia. She also supported military action against Islamist extremists in Pakistan even without the support of the Islamabad government.

Asked whether Nato membership would commit the US to going to war on behalf of Ukraine and Georgia if they were attacked, Palin said: "Perhaps so. I mean, that is the agreement when you are a Nato ally. If another country is attacked, you're going to be expected to be called upon and help. What I think is that smaller democratic countries that are invaded by a large power is something for us to be vigilant against."

She advocated speeding up full Nato membership for Georgia and Ukraine despite warnings from Moscow that it views attempts to expand US influence among the former Soviet states as provocative. Russia's invasion of Georgia was "unprovoked", she said and warned that America could not allow Moscow to control vital energy supplies. "We've got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable," she said.

Last night's broadcast was the first of four programmes based on interviews with Palin conducted in her home town of Wasilla and Fairbanks both in Alaska.

The broadcasts will include footage of Palin's soldier son, Track, who was scheduled to deploy to Iraq yesterday. The Alaska governor, who touts herself as a moose-hunting, salmon-fishing, hockey mom turned political reformer, has faced a steady drip of negative stories about her record and her family including daughter Bristol, who is pregnant at 17.

Until the interviews, she had not taken questions from reporters, and at campaign rallies stuck closely to a scripted speech that is largely a distillation of her address to the party convention.

McCain's strategists are working hard to capitalise on Palin's appeal to Republican women as well as some former supporters of Hillary Clinton. Palin's instant popularity and the success of Republican effort to present her as a feminist icon, have put the Democrats off balance.

Meanwhile Barack Obama made a belated personal appeal to Bill Clinton yesterday for advice on how to mount a fightback and reverse a slide in the polls.

Talking to journalists before they began lunch, Clinton said: "I predict that Senator Obama will win and win pretty handily."

Obama added: "You can take it from the president of the United States. He knows a little something about politics."

Obama said he saw parallels between his campaign and Clinton's in 1992: a relatively unknown politician fighting the Republicans against a backdrop of an ailing economy. After the lunch, a joint statement issued on behalf of the two by Obama's team, said: "They discussed the campaign briefly, but mostly talked about how the world has changed since September 11 2001. They also spoke about what the next president can do to help make the economy work for all Americans, as it did under president Clinton."

How about Lebanon than? The US sanctioned that war, and incursion and complete destruction of civilian peoples and infastructure. Whatever you might think it is a democracy, and in fact the model the US has tried to base Iraq off.

I wasn't aware that candidates for Vice President were able to commit troops to any war. I guess I learned something new. Thank goodness for GFY.

Do the math, McCain has a 1 in 3 chance of kicking the bucket before 4 years is up.

You cut and paste the title of the thread or that was of your own making?

It doesn't read "Sarah Palin would commit", or "Sarah Palin wants to commit" .. instead you wrote "Saradn Palin to commit ..." As if it was inevitable.

Quote:

Again you don't see the irony at all when Fox News spins something, but if it makes your point ... Game on?

Well, "unprovoked" is total bullshit of course. I still think this 'Palin will go to war with Russia'-issue is being played up. She said she wants Georgia join the Nato, which would mean all Nato allies would have to come to help if Russia invaded Georgia again. That's a stupid, but not an uncommon view. All Republicans say that.

There are much better embarrassments in that interview. For example, she didn't know what the Bush Doctrine is. Which proves she hasn't read a newspaper for at least 7 years.

I said it once I'll say it 100 times That bitch is NUTS...

spunkmaster · 09-11-2008, 10:53 PM

The question was "If Georgia was a member of NATO" !

I bet Obama's answer would be the exact same answer because any NATO
member attacked is an attack on all the members of NATO.

She has also stated that she would "choose life" in the cases of rape pregnancies.

You got that Republican parents?

If your little white daughter is raped, she WILL be keeping the black baby under Plain.

Just, fucking, awesome.

I didn't know the Vice President did things like, you know, over rule the Supreme Court.

Another lesson for me. You Americans sure know your political system well!

You do realise that Charlie Rangel (Democrat) from New York has entered a draft reinstatement bill onto the Congress floor 13 times since 03 dont you? Do a search if you want to educate yourself on the issue, by the way its been blocked by Republican members of Congress everytime.

Dont confuse the idiots with the painfully obvious. What a surprise that a US politician would pay lip service to defending a NATO ally if they were attacked. What an outrage!

The really story is how people are shocked that anyone would even pretend to honor NATO commitments in this day and age. It shows how useless the alliance has become.

NATO ally or not, no one wants to die defending Georgia. Only ones who will support that are chickenhawks.

Flash News: America is not a democracy.

Read Plato's Republic. Republics were never meant to be democratic. Plato favored aristocracy and a police state.

Sausage · 09-12-2008, 07:06 AM

Hmm .. I watched that interview and she never said that.

Gotta love radical lefties who twist words and take things out of context to further their agenda. If a country joins Nato, and said country is attacked, Nato goes in to bat ... surely you all knew that?

Personally I agree. That is why the US should pull out of NATO and no longer guarantee security to Europe. Make the Europeans be responsible for the own fucking military security. There is no reason why the US taxpayers should be paying to defend Europe from Russia.

But as long as the alliance exist on paper then US politicians will pay lip service to upholding it. I can guarantee that Obama would answer the same question the same way. That is why this thread is total bullshit and just more sloppy propaganda from the idiot left.

I agree. I wasn't really worried about her answer to that. I think the fact she didn't know what the Bush Doctrine was is a tad more concerning. Also that she isn't on the same page as McCain on how to deal with Pakistan.

Saw her interview on NBC. I have no idea how exactly she is expecting the US troops to fight against Russia however since both countries have much more WMD's that it's needed to destroy the Earth. Yeah, that will be a real fun then!

Funny that nobody has pointed out that she lied almost the whole interview. Classic sign of deciet is that your neck gets red blotches and man did she have a red neck.
