Sarah Palin made an appearance on Sean Hannity's TV Funhouse for Aggrieved White Men last night to do something she should have done a long time ago. She was brought on the show to discuss the finer points of American foreign policy as it relates to the Islamic State, which is right up there with winking and field dressing a moose on the List Of Things Sarah Palin Is Qualified To Do. And then...oh our dear G_d, she actually apologized. Raw Story and HuffPo bring us this story, which will make your liberal grinch hearts grow three sizes this day.
And as I watched the speech last night, Sean, the thought goin' through my mind is, 'I owe America a global apology,' because John McCain, through all of this, John McCain should be our President. He had the advice -- today still giving to Barack Obama, and he will not listen to it -- about the residual forces that must be left 'behind' [air quotes in original] in order to secure the peace in Iraq that we had fought so hard for.
Do we even need to drop in the screenshot of McCain's tweet from August 2010, when the last American combat troops left Iraq? We mean, Kaili already linked to it earlier today , but what the H-E-double hockey sticks, it's Friday, let's have some fun!
Here's the whole video, in case you feel like you have too much hair on your head and want to rip some out.
Palin went on to clarify that "we don't have to have combat troops over there at that time, but the residual force in order to secure -- but no," and yes, that's as close as she comes to a complete thought at that point in the interview. No word yet on whether Palin wants her son, Track, to be a part of the non-combat-but-totally-combat residual force she's proposing. Can a force that's been equipped for a peacekeeping mission confront and destroy the Islamic State's fighters in the field, or in the chaotic urban environments of two war-shattered societies? Sure can, says noted military expert Sarah Palin, and don't let the lamestream media tell you otherwise! The American military loves getting sent into conflicts in the Middle East without the proper resources, just ask them!
Hey, Wonketeers, did you find it funny that Palin decided to issue a "global apology" only to the people of America? Well, she went on to point out that, "That is the caliphate, that is a takeover of the region, and guess what? We’re next on the hit list," which fits in nicely with Palin's outstanding grasp of geography. In case you libruls can't use an atlas, the Middle East, from east to west, goes like this: Mesopotamia, all them Bible places, and then U.S.A. America. It's a FACT, Dummycrats, look it up.
