Afternoon reading

While everyone else is focusing on the this right now, "Gov. Sarah Palin took a hard-line approach on national security and said that war with Russia may be necessary if that nation invades another country."

  • Yeah. I think the killer in that, the part that's being lost is the direct, unanswered question. "Are you willing to go to war with the Russians over Georgia?"

    When she heard it, she seemed to realize how far out on the limb she was and began falling back into platitudes.

  • Well she wants Georgia in NATO. If Saakashvili pulls another stunt Article 5 kicks in.
