		<description>&quot;You should know that the interview you &#039;watched&#039; wasn’t the actual interview on the paper transcript.

Yeah, funny thing, isn’t it.&quot;

I&#039;ve read the transcripts, too.  They don&#039;t make her look much better.  If that&#039;s all you have to go on, you&#039;re really grasping at straws.  This woman is clueless.</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;anyone else who’ll listen that they be returned to U.S. captivity.&lt;/i&gt;

Good interpretation, but what about that Kuwaitis terrorist were in Guantamo, handed to Kuwaitis after a while he blow himself in north Iraq!!!!!


Yes we got rid of one terrorist in heavy human price but if these terrorists as you stated pray to return to US hand this just out of blue thoughts you dreaming here.

Saudis they kill any one threats their Kingdome but its OK if these ugly breed goes any where for their Wahabi jihad which is still this Wahabi institution running  even in your DC.

For your unbelievs if that happened read this report and relax that did happen next time do not doubted by reading some thing put here, you and your officials  more doubtable sources  as uncovered clearly after 2003 with iraq.

		<description>&quot;Look, if she can’t take the tough questions, she shouldn’t be running for vice president.&quot;

That logic would apply equally well to Obama?

BTW, she &#039;took&#039; the questions just fine thanks, your partisanship prevents you from acknowledging a &#039;hit&#039; job when you see one.</description>

		<description>Seriously, how can anyone who watched these interviews take this woman seriously as a vice presidential candidate?  Half the time she doesn&#039;t sound like she even knows what she&#039;s talking about - like she&#039;s just spouting a bunch of talking points no matter if they relate to Charles Gibson&#039;s questions or not.  He, rightfully, hammered her on her B.S. answers.

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;According to the National Enquirer, Sarah and Todd Palin’s oldest son, 19-year-old Track, has a history of drug use and abuse&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Yep, he was a druggie - just like Obama.

Btw, Truth, real Americans (i.e., not liberals) take &quot;cowboy&quot; as praise, not criticism. It&#039;d be like saying, &quot;You guys are real men, you know that?&quot; and expecting them to hang their heads and say, &quot;Gee, sorry, we won&#039;t do it again.&quot;

As for the terrrorists we handed over to the Saudi government (assuming this actually took place, of course), I&#039;d guess that about now they&#039;re praying to Allah, God, Jehovah, Buddha, and anyone else who&#039;ll listen that they be returned to U.S. captivity.</description>

		<description>Tell us the truth how much you paid to be Megaphone of Bush and his doctrine , writing your cowboy thoughts her an there.

Btw, &lt;i&gt;Enemies don’t go away by avoiding them. They go away by destroying their base of operations, their logistics, their armies, their cities, and their faith in their gods and leaders&lt;/i&gt;…..US enemy looks you lost your direction……Saudi  regime  is the  breeders of US enemy and terrorists.

Last months your troops handed 200 Saudi terrorists caught in Iraq to Saudis does that make you wander what’s going on here why these Wahabi terrorists come and go between US and Saudis?

Is it war game or what our cowboy man?</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;GIBSON: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?
PALIN: In what respect, Charlie?
GIBSON: The Bush — well, what do you — what do you interpret it to be?
PALIN: His world view.&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://jamesfallows.theatlantic.com/archives/2008/09/the_palin_interview.php&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;The Palin interview&lt;/a&gt;

While &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/20080903/palin-iraq-war-a-task-that-is-from-god.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Palin&lt;/a&gt; asked the students to pray for the troops in Iraq, and noted that her eldest son, Track, was expected to be deployed there.
&lt;i&gt;&quot;Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God,&quot; she said. &quot;That&#039;s what we have to make sure that we&#039;re praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God&#039;s plan.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;

But PALIN believes that man’s activities certainly can be contributing to the issue of global warming, climate change.

The fact is Iraq war have nothing to do with God but global warming, climate change is God Plan isn&#039;t Palin?

According to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zimbio.com/Bristol+Palin/articles/573/Sarah+Palin+s+Son+A+Drug+User&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;National Enquirer&lt;/a&gt;, Sarah and Todd Palin’s oldest son, 19-year-old Track, has a history of drug use and abuse

So she sent her Son for Rehab to Iraq, isn&#039;t?</description>

		<description>Dear Vince,

You almost got it. But the object of these efforts is not anybody that you mentioned. The object is to fuck with the mind of your enemy. They&#039;re the guys who can kill you and millions of your countrymen.

Ambiguity is a hoary diplomatic and military weapon that is remarkably effective. I will start by citing what I think is a stark example.

In 1955, shortly after the Korean War, China precipitated a crisis in the Taiwan Strait revolving around the islands of Quemoy and Matsu. At that time Mao had driven Chiang Kai Schek and the Nationalists out of China who had taken refuge on the island of Taiwan. Mao was about to pursue the Nationalists and obliterate them. The US faced a very dangerous situation and there was behind the scenes diplomacy to defuse the situation to avoid another bloody war in Asia. The American press was clamoring for an interview with the President. This was a dangerous situation because if the press misconstrued what was said it could have grave consequences. Eisenhower&#039;s press secretary expressed concerns about the dangers. Eisenhower said &quot;Don&#039;t worry Jim. I&#039;ll just go out there and confuse them&quot;.

There are a couple of more recent examples of this. Reagan knew that that mic was hot when he said &quot;The bombing starts in ten minutes&quot;. Everybody said it was just a joke. It wasn&#039;t. It helps if the enemy thinks you might be just a wee tad crazy. It makes him unsure of his own calculations.

When McCain did the &quot;Bomb, bomb Iran&quot; ditty it was again written off as a joke. It wasn&#039;t. It was a clear message to Iran that they&#039;d be a lot better off settling peaceably with Bush rather than waiting for the new President. That off hand moment was coordinated with Bush.

We coffee house philosophers clamor for clear statements of diplomatic and military intent. It may satisfy our egos. It is often not in the interest of our country.

If anybody is interested in nuclear war planning I&#039;d be happy to oblige.

Regards,
Roy</description>
