Quote of the Day (July 1, 2010)

*
Ed Morrissey:
"Sarah Palin’s critics sometimes poke fun at her regular messaging from her Facebook platform for a supposed lack of depth and heft. Her comprehensive look at military and foreign policy yesterday provides a rebuttal to those critiques, as well as a direct challenge to Barack Obama’s assertions of 'smart power.' Palin blasts Obama for his 'enemy-centric' foreign policy and criticizes Democrats who seek to score points on fiscal responsibility at the expense of the military... Democrats have made a lot of noise of late about reducing the military budget in order to demonstrate fiscal discipline, but Palin reminds her readers that defense is the main Constitutional duty of the federal government. There is certainly room for improvement in efficiency and procurement, which is a morass even in the best of times, but reduction of forces is a bad idea for a nation at war."
