Byte mentioned this, and it's a good point. This woman, so beloved by the right, just suggested we go to war with Iran--pretty amazing. Yemen too, I'm sure.
It's not new for her, however; she's used it to score points since before the election. Then:

Palin indicated that his chances of winning would dramatically change if Obama simply declared war on Iran:Quote:
Palin appears to be fine-tuning her position on Iran. Late last year, Palin mistook Iraq for Iran when she suggested that the U.S. has to crack down on Iraq to prevent nuclear war in Iran. In 2008, Palin appeared to claim that the U.S. needs to “win” the non-existent war with Iran.
WALLACE: How hard do you think President Obama would be to defeat in 2012?
PALIN: It depends on a few things, say he played — I got this from Buchanan — say he played the war card. Say he decided to declare war on Iran or decide to really come out and do whatever he could to support Israel–which I would like him to do. That changes the dynamics of what we can assume will happen between now and three years. Because I think if the election were today, Obama would not be elected.
WALLACE: You’re not suggesting that Obama would cynically play the war card?
PALIN: I’m not suggesting that, I’m saying if he did, things would dramatically change if he decided to toughen up and do all that he can to secure our nation and secure our allies. I think people would shift their thinking a bit.
One of the responders to that article said it better than I could: "Sarah Palin is a deranged money grubber and a witless ninny. The fact that so many “religious” people support her speaks to the utter bankruptcy and moral rot of their ideologies."

Uhhh, doesn't one have to have a brain for waterboarding to do any good? And given she's got nothing to say as it is, what could she possibly have to say that waterboarding would accomplish? Just askin...

Back on topic, and lets not waterboard anyone, thanks...
Yikes. Okay, so I know drumming up support for a War with Iran is something both parties are after, what with Obama and that "intelligence" we have about Iranian weapons that sounds like the same bait they used for Iraq.
I'm still trying to understand, she's not saying that these are the reasons we should go to war, but rather that she thinks Obama going to war would improve his chances?
I don't think we know her reasons for supporting a war with Iran, or rather, we do, but she hasn't said either the ones that would be used to push a war with Iran to the public or the real reasons the government might declare war.

As an expert on such, you would know better than anyone.
And it's nice to see you remain consistent - turning tail from all the other active threads you are getting your ass kicked in.

The point was made. You seem obsessed w/ the view that somehow what I said was disproven, when clearly, it was not.
As to the specifics of THIS thread, look at exactly what Palin said....
"... how are we going to kick in the plan that will get this economy back on the right track and really shore up the strategies we need over in Iraq and Iran to win these wars "
Now the subject line reads -
Palin: Let's go to war with Iran!
That's no where near what she said.
Then the TPM ( who ever the hell that is ) graphic states -
Palin declares war on Iran
Um....no, she didn't.
This video is almost 1 1/2 yrs old. On the eve of the 2008 elections, Palin is talking about the wars we were and still are fighting over there. Then she mentions the STRATEGY with dealing with Iraq and Iran. The Iranian Gov't was and is heavily influencing the insurgency in Iraq.
Nothing she said should be viewed in any way as being controversial. What I suspect is being done here is an attempt to take old , dated quotes from Palin and sidle them up w/ more recent remarks she's made. It should be no surprise as to who is behind all this, and for what purpose.
The Left is scared of Palin. Not just her , but her message. And it shows.
Very telling, is how the video quickly cuts out at the end, so as to keep her comments being heard , in context, as they were spoken.
The T.Rex they call JANE!
