ABC News: Sarah Palin Defends Experience, Takes Hard Line Approach on National Security

For those of you that think McCain-Palin isnt dangerous for our country, think again. This woman with no foreign experience said we may have to fight with Russia.

Ohh Helll No!!! This is just going to cause Medvede, Putin and the Ruskies to get riled up... Just like when Bush said Iran and North Korea were part of the Axis of Evil.

Sigh.

Did you read the article?

She said IF Georgia becomes a part of NATO, and Russia attacks NATO, then we would have to defend Georgia.

That's what happens when countries join NATO. If Russia attacks Germany, we're going to war with Russia just as if Russia attacks Latvia, Lithuania, or Slovenia, we're going to war.

"And 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 told Gibson.

She was neighbors with them. She knows best right?

That is part of the NATO pact. When one is attacked, the others respond. What's the problem? Should we not come to Polands aid if Russia attacks them? Ukraine?

She also mentions sanctions and other measures before a war.

The typical dem/lib response is reason why they are not trusted with national security.

Umm... you DO realize that NATO was basically formed in the first place to be a strategic alliance AGAINST the USSR/Russia?


Did we forget about a concept called "deterrence".... and the fact that it works?

Or do you think NATO should be a debate club like the UN?

Well if we elect McCain-Palin, prepare for World War III. If we start anything with Russia, Iran will surely get involved to help Russia. If you thought the Iraq war was expensive and a drain on our economy, you aint seen nothing yet. Like Obama says McCain is more of the same.
