Try and stay on topic. But to address your comment - please show me where she cried on tv. Or is that a LIE? As for commenting on being attacked, she WAS attacked and blamed, falsely, for the shooting. She has a right to defend herself, else the crazy nutjobs on the left might have targeted HER.
Yes, hate on Palin. For exhibiting her right to free speech, for her patriotism, for her concern for the murdered soldiers. Yup, better to love on a grovelling president that can't stop apologizing for actions that deserve NO apology, for putting the muslim religion above all else (where is his concern about the islamic man that has converted and been condemned to die?), and always making everything about hiimself.
I don't hate anyone, least Palin. I find her to be dumb as a pile of rocks and arrogant. She is a moron who doesn't realize she is a moron.
You realize that our soldiers were shot buy a guy who was supposed to be our ally, right? Our soldiers are there working with, arming, training, and supposedly fighting side by side with the soldiers of the Afghan Army. This wasn't a soldier being shot on the battlefield, this was the cowardly act of a scumbag who surprised his comrades by turning on them without warning.
Yes, and it happens all the time in Afghanistan, and it happend all the time in Iraq. It will happen in every war where we invade a country and play their people against each other. What do you expect? Of course some of the enemy will infiltrate our side, and use it as a way to attack us. It was a huge problem in Iraq, but we didn't demand apologies.
What good would it do? Do you think a demand/accusation like that might somehow improve our relations with our Afghan allies? Think, think!!!!! It's a STUPID thing to say.

And again, she didn't demand anything of anyone. She suggested, in a tweet, that an apology was in order. Is she wrong?

The US government should be apologizing to the American people for that stupidity.
Because we invaded their feaking country and we are fighting a war there. Armies take casualtied in wars.
Did we demand apologies from North Vietnam? Korea? Japan? Germany? Panama? Grenada? Iraq? Of course not.
You can sense whatever you want, but if you can't make your demands face to face, then it makes you a coward. Plain and simple. The Afghan officials would certainly not harm her, they would laugh at her.
Isn't it supposedly an allied Afghan soldier who shot the Americans ? That's a little different than the supposed enemy killing U.S. troops.
If there's an upside to these deaths, our foolish leaders will get us out of that country. Every day there means more loss of life and wasted resources.

Yes, she is. Why? Because she is being ridiculous. Her suggestion is just a populist statement in reaction to Obama's apology. Not even she would have been so stupid to suggest such an apology if Obama had not apologized first. Hers is just a reaction, which is typical of modestly intelligent people.
LOL. Bombing Japan was a strategic move, and not a mistake. Burning Korans was an honest mistake, and people apologize for honest mistakes. To say that no one should ever apologize for anything is just plain idiotic. Bush admin apologized to China over the apy plane accident, and I didn't see anything bad about it. Curiously neither did the GOP.
Palin's comments are stupid and irresponsible, and they can only fuel the fires there. How can she be so dumb?
A mistake, but not on our military's part. The whole situation could have been avoided if the prisoners hadn't used the book to smuggle information inside.
So, you apologize for mistakes, but not murder. Interesting concept....
And again, she didn't demand anything of anyone. She suggested, in a tweet, that an apology was in order. Is she wrong?
Who exactly is she expecting the apology to come from?
