I think we should know if our potential VP thinks that going to war for Georgia is worth it. I don't see anything wrong with her answer, since she's less beligerent than McCain.
I just meant use of the word "war." He uses it in asking the question. Military action and war aren't the same thing in terms of foreign relations. We weren't at war with Somalia, but we sent troops there. Quoting her as supporting war is a little misleading without mentioning the way Gibson asks the question. The result is you get an internet brushfire as Obama supporters and others spread the word that she wants "war."

I'm pretty sure they grew up together.

FORT WAINWRIGHT, Alaska, Sept. 11 -- Gov. Sarah Palin linked the war in Iraq with the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, telling an Iraq-bound brigade of soldiers that included her son that they would "defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced in the death of thousands of Americans."

Was Obama asked which presidents he related to most?
