Whoops: Palin advocates war with Iran, apparently misreading column


rawstory.com
Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has always tried to portray herself as tough on national security.

On Sunday, however, Palin may have taken it too far. Speaking to Fox News' Chris Wallace, the onetime Republican vice presidential nominee signaled that she supported war with Iran, referring to a recent online column by conservative Pat Buchanan.

"Say he played, and I got this from Buchanan, reading one of his columns the other day," Palin quipped. "Say he played the war card. Say he decided to declare war on Iran, or decided to really come out and do whatever he could to support Israel, which

It never ceases to amaze me how politicians are so willing to send other peoples sons and daughters into war while theirs stay safe and sound in some highclass university.

Nailed it in one.

What I do only matters if it impacts me and mine....casualities to you and yours are deemed acceptable.

I wonder if exgov. Palin actually wants war to fulfill biblical prophesy and the interpretation of Revelations that most right wing fundamentalist usually believe? It never ceases to amaze me how politicians are so willing to send other peoples sons and daughters into war while theirs stay safe and sound in some highclass university.

Well at least she is NOT a LAWYER!

And she also knows how to SHOOT!

She also knows how to field dress!

And no that dress does not come from Bloomingdales.

And since you clipped the snippet so it would seem she was advocating war with Iran, I will post the entire quote so others can see the blatant MISREPRESENTATION of what she said!



"Say he played, and I got this from Buchanan, reading one of his columns the other day," Palin quipped. "Say he played the war card. Say he decided to declare war on Iran, or decided to really come out and do whatever he could to support Israel, which I would like him to do. But that changes the dynamics in what we can assume is going to happen between now and three years."


Deny ignorance!

Show me where she stated she advocated war with IRAN.

She was referring to what Buchanon said!

Jeeez!

edit to add-

Maybe this thread should be placed in the HOAX bin.



I think I will ask the Mods to verify that it is a HOAX!

And her son POSSIBLY involved in an ALLEGED incident has WHAT to do with anything?

I once moved hundreds of roadsigns before a July 4th weekend and that would have what to do with THIS?

Attack on REAL issues and I will back it.

I feel Palin is being used to detract the REAL movement against the government oligarchy and will back any TRUE presentation to that FACT.

Otherwise all this is, is just another way to divide us into the Dem and Repub camps.

That is enough on this subject.

I did not realize Palin has a son serving in the military. Kudos to him for that service.

I still stand by my original statement, which was made about politicians in general. Its a lot easier to do anything, be it war, health care, education, whatever when it doesn't directly impact you.

I have several relative in theater and I find both wars to be police actions.

Exactly like I said, police actions. These are not wars. You fight wars with nations, not individuals or ideas.

The first time I heard we were fighting AQ, I knew it to be a farce.

One cannot fight an idea. Which is why I believe this WHOLE crappola to be dreamed up in some CFR meeting.

It is the PERFECT excuse to police any country they find to be economically nonviable to the elitist agenda.

Could this just be semantics? You say police tactics, I say war? That's not an attack, by the way, but an honest question.

Or perhaps you mean we aren't at war with the Iraqi nation, but with the terrorist group? If so, that makes sense and I see your point.

" have several relative in theater and I find both wars to be police actions." I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean. What theater? Maybe I'm reading it wrong, if so I apologize.

As to an elitist agenda, I agree with you there....

Well what I mean by police action is that we are not at war. They keep calling it that because WAR can be legitimate. Where as police action is exactly that, we are acting as the police to the world. Have you heard that we are giving Miranda Warnings in the field now?

As for in theater, I mean they are in the conflict either in Iraq or Afghan. Of course they might be heading for the new police action locale of Venezuela, Iran, or Yemen.

In theater is a military euphemism for in conflict.

Now Iraq was a legal war, but now it has become a police action. We will never pull out of that country now.

We are there for good. Just as the other 700 military bases in 130 countries around the world.
