Alaska has the only Missile Defence Shield in the nation, and one of the AF runways is a landing backup for the Shuttle. NASA conducts rocket experiments in Alaska, too. Another thing unique to Alaska is IARC (the largest of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere).

Miborn,
Since you have not posted anything showing that Palin has had anything to do with responding to Russian bombers, we'll just go ahead and cross this one off the list as one of her qualifications. Do you have any other evidece of her foreign policy credentials?

Say what you want it does not diminish her qualifications!
You only wish Obama had 1/2 of what she has...............
