Palin Doctrine Emerges

And:

quote:

The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin — certainly no knee-jerk advocate for Sarah Palin — wrote just a few weeks ago that Palin turns out to have been correct in the prediction she made to Barbara Walters, in a much-noted November 2009 interview. Palin stated she was opposed to Obama’s opposition to Israel’s settlement policies because “[m]ore and more Jewish people will be flocking to Israel in the days and weeks and months ahead.” Now, as Rubin noted, Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics confirms that the pace of immigration to Israel rose 14% to 16,633 from the level in 2009, most coming from Russia or America.

Not too bad for an 'airhead'.

CONGRADULATIONS TD TEABAGGERS!!!!!!!!

FINALLY, after all the embarassment you have had from Sister Sarah from Wasilliness, SOMETHING you can brag about.

Sometimes even a blind dog finds a bone!

Bask in this day and let the FOXOPHILE nation REJOICE: Sarah Palin Got ONE Right!!!!!!!!! (well, maybe if someone didn't write the idea on her hand to use in the interview)

Its all about the oil. If the USA were interested in humanitarian issues, we would have intervened in Sudan 10 years ago. Oil rules all.

B.O. couldn't care less about what's currently going on with Libya and Japan, deciding to take a 5-day 'tour' of Latin America, instead.

This is true, but it's a bit of a catch-22. People say that in order for us to intervene in a foreign country we must first have some stake or vested interest in the intervention, otherwise we are nation-building and imposing our will on sovereign nations.

OK, but let's be realistic - the only real stake, or if not "only" then definitely the overwhelming primary stake that we have in that region of the world is our dependence on their oil. So when we have a vested interest, and that "stake" is oil, the very same people scream "IT'S JUST ABOUT THE OIL!!!!".

So if it's not about the oil, that's bad and we are imposing our morality through force and/or we are nation-building imperialists. But if it is about the oil, then that's bad too b/c we are greedy, selfish and generally immoral consumers who want to rape and pillage the earth for more resources that we can exploit.

It seems there is no way to satisfy the crowd who are simply opposed to the US military, and/or the US in general.

OK just noticed this thread has been dead for a few days. I'll copy my post out to a new thread.
