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."GatewaySnayke wrote:We have extremely low standards for journalism when that looks like the reporter was leading the interviewee on. 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'm pretty sure they grew up together.GatewaySnayke wrote:Teddy's hawkness is the only thing I can see McCain having in common. I'm not talking about their personal problems, because I assumed that he was talking about Teddy being a hero with regards to policy.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... id=topnewsFORT 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."
