"More N Korea nuke tests: why consider US missile program cuts now? AK military program helps secure US. Now is NOT time to cut our defense."Anyone with at least a grain of common sense would agree with the governor. That group, unfortunately, doesn't include the president and many of his fellow Democrats.

I hope she writes an editorial or does something more than a tweet. This is a very grave matter and the fact is Obama administration is treating like a walk in the park. As Bolton said, its not showing any urgency at all. I think Gov.Palin should take this opportunity to alert the citizens of the dangers of this lackadaisical approach. Its also a golden opportunity for her to talk up a national security issue.
ReplyDeleteThe governor made the argument after the previous NoKor test in a news release which was reprinted in all of the major Alaska newspapers as well as some others. Even though it was written in early April, some of the papers printed it as recently as last week.
ReplyDeleteI expect she will do the same after she returns to her office after the long Memorial Day weekend.

Josh, I think Bill Kristol, a nice guy, is subtly hinting she should do more also:
ReplyDeleteBoth Cheney and Gingrich have the background and stature to address credibly national security issues. Here’s an interesting question: Will any Republican whose career lies mostly ahead of him — or her — step up to confront Obama on the foreign policy and national security front? Is any of them enough of a risk-taker to defy the conventional wisdom that if you’re a mere senator or congressman or governor or aspirer to office, you should focus on domestic issues, that it’s hard (and it is) to take on a president on foreign policy? Will any of them seek to join Cheney and Gingrich in the foreign policy fray?
The "her" is interesting.

BTW, thanks for reminding about the weekend. I'd eagerly waiting for a news release from the Guv.
