ActionI haven't been able to watch the full interview yet, but here are some thoughts on the segments that I have watched:
- Even suggesting the idea of going to war with Russia is very dangerous.
- "I don't think that we should second guess the measures that Israel has to take to defend themselves and for their security." Huh? Basically Palin just said that because Israel is "our friend," they should be given carte blanche do to whatever they want to do to "defend themselves." That is incredibly disturbing.
- I already discussed this, but the very idea that the war in Iraq is "a task that is from God" is absurd. Yes, Palin did not say it was, but prayed that it would be. I strongly believe that wars are not tasks from God.
- The idea that she can "see" Russia from Alaska is somehow related to national security is absurd.
- It should be very, very disturbing that Palin did not know and understand what the Bush Doctrine is. This has been the defining foreign policy over the last seven years.
