Palin: No Time for ‘Cold Feet’ on Afghanistan

Cold feet!! she’s one to talk. She quit on the people of Alaska-sounds like cold feet to me. She hates Obama like Rush,most republicans. She wants Obama job but she is not even qualified to run because she is a moron.

I am suprised Sarah Palin knows there is a war. Besides wanting to be a part of a smear campaign she is still incompetent for any real office.

According to bimbo Barbie, President Obama “pals around with terrorists”. What a joke she is. Just because somebody wrote a book for her, she is now an expert on everything?? Count me in on the moron vote!!

She needs to just go back into the kitchen, make her moose stew and shut up.

What I don’t understand is why she is still getting air time for her comments? There are more qualified people that can make better intelligent comments than this drop out! Why don’t we ever hear from them?? She has no military experience other than trying to make war with democrats! The news media would do well to lose the winker!!

She needs to shut up!

Why is abc and the DNC campaining against Palin? If she is considered un-qualified by them why are they all worried about her? If you follow her you will find she is more intelligent than most of the congress people and yes the guy who lied to get in.

You betcha she’s on guard when Karzai flies over Alaska.

who cares what Palin thinks.. about anything!
She’s the EX-Gov of Alaska who can’t point to one book or news source she reads for information and now she can’t even see Russia from her house (there goes her expertise in foreign affairs)

ABC I BEG you to PLEASE stop covering this idiot! There are a lot of smart qualified people who have weighed in on this issue. There are people who know what the heck they’re talking about and can really help the war effort by getting American’s support the a well thought out plan of action in Afghanistan. PLEASE cover them instead. For instance, what does Colin Powell think about increasing troop levels?
I know others don’t get the same ratings as Palin but continuing to cover her will make people actually think she should be taken seriously. After all, if the media thinks her views are worthy enough to print then they must be, right?

Does anyone really take her seriously? She was horrible as the VP candidate; she quit as gov. of Alaska….I think she should stick to fishing.

If Sarah says it I am for sure not for it. She has been 100% wrong up to date . So why even comment on this silly thing.

Funny, just a year ago during the presidential campaign, didn’t she say, “we need more troops to Iraq, not Afganistan.” over and over? How short her memory is. No media brings up what she said just one year ago?? Amazing..

lyineyes1956: This is the problem with you naysayers–you grab a hold of a “nothing” and then try to create something out of it. Mr. Obama’s reference to the country having 57 States was a gaffe. But, I will even give BabyDoll…err, Sarah her gaffe moment too. I do believe that she knows that Africa is a continent but due to all the information being taken in by her at the time, she lost her train of thought. A gaffe! We can all be guilty of that. However, here is the difference between the two; With “Tina,” err, Sarah… its extremely transparent her lack of intellect period. If one just listens to her speak about almost anything…well, as the saying goes; “Even Ray Charles can see that!”
This woman does not read (and you did not need Katie Couric to expose that.) HoneyCakes has no thirst for knowledge or any interest in the world that we live in outside of her own ambitions. To “throw” a “dig” at the President with her statement that; “You can’t have cold feet;” “This is not the time for indecision;” blah, blah, blah, is just farsical given that this woman abandoned her post as Governor way, way, before time leaving a very sketchy record.
Is BabyDoll ambitious? Competitive? ..ABSOLUTELY!!! …and maybe to a fault.
Is she intelligent? A leader? A Statesman?
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!

*sigh* No, Sarah, hundreds of thousands of Americans don’t have troops in Afghanistan. We only have about 40,000 troops there now and that’s already an all-time high. This dingbat doesn’t even know where Afghanistan is, much less how many troops we already have there, but she’s telling Obama what to do.
It’s not just a matter of sending more troops. It’s deciding where to send them and how to use them. More warm bodies sent to the wrong places for the wrong reasons will simply result in more dead troops coming home in body bags without achieving anything. We clearly need to change strategy in Afghanistan and a wise leader will take the time to decide where the focus needs to be and how many troops will be needed to achieve the new strategic goals.
I swear this woman just talks to hear herself talk. She’s so full of herself.

Palin is 100% correct …. Obama and all of his cronies in washington need to quit playing with the lives of our soldiers … Obama said during the campaign we should be in Afghanistan fightin the Taliban and selecte McChrystal as his commander for the job … but the going gets tough OBAMA is MIA … he claims he is working on a strategy, is he trying to tell us… he sent McChrystal and more troops to Afghanistan without a strategy? Are you for real … either send the troops McChrystal requested or follow the advice of your left wing friends and pull all the troops out but DON’T SHED ANY MORE AMERICAN BLOOD BY BEEN INDECISIVE AND WEAK …. SHOW SOME CURAGE …. IF WE ARE IN THE GAME WE PLAY TO WIN IF WE DON’T WANT TO CONTINUE LET’S GET THE HELL OFF THE FIELD AND LET THE TALIBAN TAKE OVER AND SLAUGHTER THE AFGHAN PEOPLE AND PROMOTE TERRORISM …. THEN LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISION …. SO CALLED COMMANDER IN CHIEF????

I’ve been thinking lately, what this country needs are more verifiable facts on the issues, and less opinion driven reporting.
I think we all know Palin is a knee jerk administration critic. She’s not helpful in directing the discussion.
Who we need to hear from are people with actual knowledge of the situation. I was fascinated by hearing directly from General McChrystal on 60 minutes. Ditto Generals Jones and Petraus and Sect’ry Gates. They, at least seem to be framing this issue on the facts, on reality, with a knowledge of the risks and the costs. I’m not asking Generals to tell us what to do, I’m just asking for more facts before we commit more troops and money we really don’t have.

Why does the media try to keep her relevant? The same media that she blasted during the Presidential campaign. It’s time for her to just go away until she has something original and ‘Maverick’ to say.

IT’S WONDERFUL …. PALIN GETS AIR TIME JUST TO GET ALL YOU LIBERALS UPSET …. ISN’T IT FUNNY … SHE JUST KEEPS COMING BACK AGAIN, AGAIN AND AGAIN … WHILE OBAMA JUST TALKS, TALKS AND TALKS … SHOW ME SOME RESULTS MR. PRESIDENT …… NONE, NADA, ZERO!!!!!
I LOVE IT !!!!!

If she is so in favor of more troops and more fighting, let her go to Afghanistan and fight. Oh yeah, she can take her whipped husband with her.

THE PRESIDENT AND “SO CALLED” COMMANDER IN CHIEF IS NOT BUSH … NOT PALIN … IT IS MR. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA HIMSELF … “THE ONE” …. SHOW US WHAT YOU GOT COOL DUDE …

OBAMA IS REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT HIS IMAGE AND POPULARITY BEING TARNISHED BY SUCH AN UNIMPORTANT AND IRRELEVANT ITEM AS THE WAR IN AFGHANISTAN … HE WOULD MUCH RATHER BE ON ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC AND UNIVISION PUSHING HIS SOCIALIST HEALTH PLAN …

Didn’t Obamanation run on ending all the wars and bringing the troops home?
How’s that working out? And now all of a sudden the media want nothing to do with Cindy Sheehan. They couldn’t get enough of her during the Bush yrs.
Until he shows a birth certificate I don’t think we should use the term Commander in Chief anyway.
Palin? Her son is serving in Afghanistan. That alone qualifies her to speak on this subject.

Why are we listening to this twit again?

Maybe we get to follow Sarah’s example if we follow Sarah’s advice: We commit to full-scale effort until enough money is offered for us to quit. We should hold out on accepting offers until the amount is large enough to pay off the national debt plus move to a new wealthier lifestyle. For Sarah it took $7 million, the US will need at least $15 trillion. Sarah, is this your plan??

Another Republican pushing for more war. That pattern is fully established.

I voted for Obama as a Massachusetts Liberal. But on this one, Palin is right. There are moments to act, not simply criticise the opposition. Obama is continually dropping the ball and palin is just one voice pointing it out.

even her lame repeating of Limpbaughs words are wrong..last time I checked there were about 78,000 troops in Afghanistan…she says ‘hundreds of thousands’…thus showing once again her idiocy. Please stop covering this moron! Let her go back to shooting animals from helicopters – something she is actually good at!

Time and time again, we read posts that plead with the media and the government to protect our constitutional rights. Whether you agree with Palin or not, she has the right to speak and the press/media have a right to report on it. If you find her or her thoughts so offensive, then don’t read or listen to news clips that discuss her or her thoughts. She has the right to speak, just as you have the right to disagree or not even read/listen to her.

Jim Rod, let me try and answer your question for you. Many of us are intelligent independents and moderates who love our nation and hate it when some airhead/ignoramus like Palin comes along and “stimulates” the less intelligent voters ( the base ). We would would prefer that intelligent coversations and solutions could be discussed and reached without someone like her convoluting those decisions/discussions. Afraid of her? LOL. The only ones who should be afraid is the Republican Party because this idiot has the power (unfortunately) to split the party in two. And most of us understand we really need two strong parties working less devisively to keep our nation strong. I hope you and others like you read this, and better yet, understand what I have said.

For the people who think Obama is some sort of genius, how come Obama won’t release his college grades?

Although I don’t agree with some comments here that Palin is an “idiot”, the commentators do have a point with respect to why Palin seems to be the subject matter of news coverage often.
A broader question however can be asked of the media generally which is: Why do the media seem to go to the same talking heads always for opinions? Why for example are the Reverend Jackson and Al Sharpton given the microphone so often(when virtually all other African American preachers are ignored)? Why are only a handful of Senators or Congressman commented on generally in the news media?
The talking heads interviewed by the media are usually the same people.

Wow…such haters. I don’t get why people hate her so much. Such strong emotions for someone people think as dumb. I like her and I support some of the decisions she has made. She is right that the world is watching what Obama is doing about Afghanistan. Isn’t that the “good war” versus the “wrong war” stated in the election by Obama and his crew? So why not put the forces behind us winning this war? Our soldiers are sitting ducks over there. Keep talking Sarah because it drives the left crazy!

But Afghanistan isn’t fun anymore – can’t we just quit like you did?

So many of those who comment are attacking Palin- Some of them use reasoning of how she was portrayed by Tina Fey, and not by facts. It is just fine to bash people, but when your guy is bashed all hell to pay. SNL last week had a segment on Obama and the hinges came loose. What was not made fun of was items that were even more important to Americans, like the economy, like jobs. What has happened to 3-4 million jobs he promised? Why did the unemployment increase, and continues to increase after he said he had to have the stimulus bill past? What has happened to the economy and lending to small businesses, it’s not there, yet the TARP funds were given out? Palin did much for Alaska and for the U.S. Take a little time and investigate, she is not one to boast of her accomplishments. The natural gas pipeline, without use of government funds, will be of great value to Alaska and the U.S. Only an idiot would believe she did not know much about our military. Our North American defense system is stationed in Alaska, we have three major military bases there that I know of, she had to have weekly, if not more often, updates from our military leaders. What the bashers here just do not understand is how Palin connected with middle America. It is because she displayed values and integrity. Oh by the way of thew 1100 in attendance in Hong Kong for her speech there was a mass rush of people to leave, a total of two (2), yes just two left. Get the facts right, I know it hurts to state the facts, but in the end you will feel better, lies promote more lies.

Sara Palin bashed the President and the Country on foreign soil that is not cool she is a mindless idiot and its clear to see THE MAJORITY OF THE COUNTRY DOES NOT LIKE HER She is the Laughing stock of Politicts!

“Our allies and our adversaries are watching to see if we have the staying power….Now is not the time for cold feet, second thoughts, or indecision…,” Palin writes

What happened to Sarah “The Quitter” Palin? What happened to “dead fish”, “knowing when to pass the ball”, and “countless other quitter” that don’t get “picked on”?
Sarah Palin, as Governor of Alaska on July 3, 2009, explaining why the only right thing for a politician to do is quit mid-first-term-
“Only dead fish go with the flow.”
Sarah Palin explaining that her resignation on July 3, 2009, is a win for her team-
“Let me go back to a comfortable analogy for me – sports… basketball. I use it because you’re naive if you don’t see the national full-court press picking away right now: A good point guard drives through a full court press, protecting the ball, keeping her eye on the basket… and she knows exactly when to pass the ball so that the team can WIN.”
Sarah Palin on July 4, 2009, pointing out that “countless others” quit mid-term all the time and nobody picks on them-

SARAH PALIN? ARE YOU SUCCESSFUL WITH THE WAR IN IRAQ? WHY DON’T YOU CRITICIZE BUSH, INSTEAD OF OBAMA? ARE YOU SO KISSING HIS @@@ OF BUSH? HE’S NOT PRESIDENT NO MORE, GO AHEAD CRITICIZE HIM U MORON. WHAT? SEND MORE TROOPS? WHY DON’T YOU GO OVER THERE? WHY DON’T YOU SEND YOUR OWN CHILDREN THERE? ARE YOU SCARE? SPEAKING OF MAN AND WOMEN OF U.S. YOU THINK FOR YOU SELF LADY AND PLUS YOU ARE STILL AIMING AT THAT PRESIDENT SEAT 2012 YOU MORON. IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN OK. “READ MY LIPS” “READ MY LIPS”

Are we to take seriously this woman’s views on committment, when she couldn’t even stay the course on her election to Governor of Alaska? She threw her vows of office right out the window when offered a book deal and speaking engagements. This woman has no authority-intellectual or moral-whatsoever, as evidenced by her actions.
