What DID Sarah Mean By her "War on Iran" Remark to Chris Wallace?

Well, it looks like she's saying that Obama should toughen up and start a war with Iran...but then again, it's hard to understand exactly what she's saying because AS USUAL she's talking in circles. So, now my question is...why is it that some folks are so fond of someone who you can't really make heads or tails out of what she says?

Ok...here is my take on what she said....you don't have to agree with me. heck I don't agree with her...but I think this is what she was saying was this. Enless Obama takes a tougher stance on foreign relations, especially Iran, than he won't get re-elected. Palin feels that obama looks weak on his handling of the war on terror and with dealing with Iran and other countries that hate us and pose a threat to us like Pakistan...so unless he does something to change that view of him and make himself look stronger in those areas than she feels he won't get re-elected. I do think she is saying she would like Obama to come out in stronger support of Israel. She thinks he has a better change of getting elected if he "plays the war card". Basically she is saying he needs to take a tough stance against Iran and the war on terrorist and stick to it. He needs to be become a force to reckon with internationally. She does not feel Obama is respected or feared enough by countries like Iran, Pakistan or other countries that don't like us or pose a threat to us. Ok that is what Palin thinks. Here is what I think of what Palin thinks...she is full of you know what. The LAST thing this country needs is another war. Let the UN or another country deal with Iran. We have enough on our plate. If Obama wants to get re-elected he has got to remember one thing Bill Clinton used to say "it's the economy stupid". He HAS got to get our economy on a good road to recovery. He has GOT to find a way to get Congress to work together and get things done in a bipartisan way. He has got to find a way to cut spending and get a plan on how to get our debt under control. I know it will take longer than 3 more years to pay it off....but he needs to have a workable plan. He has got to get us OUT OF IRAQ and find a way to end the war in Afghanistan. Ya...I do think he needs to get tougher there. Think how much money we will save when we don't have two wars going on...or even one war going on. The sooner it is over the better. So yeah....he needs to do what it takes to get them completed as soon as possible.I am not talking about cutting and running....but just being really aggressive about winning this dang thing and getting it over with. We had years of Bush running rough shot over alot of countries. His "I am God", "my way or the highway" foreign policies pretty much alienated a lot of countries. Do we really need to go there again? I don't think so. Now I don't think we should be bending over backward to please other countries or let them dictate our laws, or grovel for their forgiveness....I do think we need to show more respect than Bush did to a lot of the other countries. By the end of Bush's term...heck most of our allies and "friends" did not even like us.

Annie, do you actually believe she knew what she meant by that. I doubt it very much. She was just speaking the "hawkish" line that the republicans and religious right support. As far as Obama being re-elected, I think he will be a shoo-in.

I think she meant that whoever is president at the moment should be looking to do just that (to quote her "which I would like him to do"). She's saying that he can only get re-elected if he goes to war against Iran (and I'm assuming that if she were president, that's what she would do, although she didn't say that). She didn't suggest that Obama would "cynically play the war card" - she was saying that he SHOULD go to war in order to be re-electable.

Well I'm not a Palin expert but, if I was basing this on any other Republican I would say that starting wars are the best strategy for that party to win elections most of the time. And, as for her picking Iran, I assume that's because it's one of the most talked about countries that we have yet to "liberate".

Palin owns you. Bow to your master. Roseitis. What I think she meant? It doesn't even matter. She'll still own after.
