[...] makes you take a second look at this girl, doesn't [...]

Seriously, does anyone think she wrote this, much less thought it? It's nothing more than campaign rhetoric in her quest for the 2012 GOP nomination to run for POTUS. What a bunch of balloon juice!

I truly wish she would just govern Alaska and stay quiet.

I think she is over-emphasizing the threat of North Korea with the typical Republican rhetoric that tries to make everyone scared of nothing.

Yeah, I'm sure that Obama is really worried about what Sarah Palin thinks. She is not the most insightful person around, let's face it. But, she I
IS an opportunist who is in it for her own self-aggrandizement, I think. Not someone to consult on important matters that should be handled by grownups. The president is – and should be – ignoring her.

At present, we don't have an operational missile defense system and early tests suggest that this is still as much a pipe dream now as it was to Reagan when he spun it to support his cronies in the defense industries... There are 600,000 US citizens in Alaska and they deserve protection commensurate with those numbers.

Well spoken, as always, Sarah.

Alaska has been the point for missile defense? Just in what way? Is star wars alive and well there?

Is Palin not the sworn enemy of earmarks? This is very big one.

It's one thing to cut back in military operations, or even first strike missiles. But why cut back in defense?

Please, does anyone really care what Sarah Palin has to say about missle defense?

Where was Ms. Palin when Bush dropped out of all the nuclear agreements that had been made prior to his election in office. If she's so deeply concerned, she might consider rejoining some of those organizations or is Alaska's economy based on a missle defense system?

Why do you think comments from Sarah Palin, who knows absolutely nothing about missile defense, deserve a blip from you in your political section. It's obvious that she wants to keep herself in the political arena, but she is not newsworthy.
