Sarah Palin Would Allow Israel To Drag Us Into War With Iran.


In her interview last night with Charles Gibson, Sarah Palin clearly
showed that she would not oppose Israel if it decided to attack Iran,
and thereby drag the United States into yet another war . . . even a
likely World War III.

Here are the exact words, as reported by Fox News at
http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/09/11/raw-data-palins-interview-with-abc-
news/#comment-659260

GIBSON: Let me turn to Iran. Do you consider a nuclear Iran to be an
existential threat to Israel?

PALIN: I believe that under the leadership of Ahmadinejad, nuclear
weapons in the hands of his government are extremely dangerous to
everyone on this globe, yes.

GIBSON: So, what should we do about a nuclear Iran?

PALIN: We have got to make sure these weapons of mass destruction,
that nuclear weapons are not given to those hands of Ahmadinejad, not
that he would use them, but that he would allow terrorists to be able
to use them. So we have got to put the pressure on Iran.

GIBSON: What if Israel decided it felt threatened and need to take out
the Iranian nuclear facilities?

PALIN: Well, first, we are friends of Israel, and I don’t think that
we should second guess the measures that Israel has to take to defend
themselves, and for their security.

GIBSON: So if we didn’t second guess it and if they decided they
needed to do it, because Iran was an existential threat, we would be
cooperative or agree with that?

PALIN: I don’t think we can second guess what Israel has to do to
secure its nation.

GIBSON: So if it felt necessary, if it felt the need to defend itself
by taking out Iranian nuclear facilities, that would be all right?

PALIN: We cannot second guess the steps that Israel has to take to
defend itself.

"We cannot second guess the steps that Israel has to take to defend
itself."


NOTE: She gave the same answer three times to three slightly different
versions of the question, without actually agreeing to the precise
words which were asked. By avoiding the exact question, she was able
to reframe the question and provide a less chilling, more reasonable-
sounding answer.

But sadly, the truth is that she would allow  -- without "second
guessing"  -- Israel to drag us into a likely World War III, without
even trying to stop it.

What she should have said is, "No."

We are the United States of America. The state  of Israel is basically
our child, because we created it in 1948 and we have kept it alive
since then. Without us, Israel would not exist as a Jewish state
today. Because of this, we are morally responsible for everything
Israel ever does wrong in the world. Sometimes it seems like having a
juvenile delinquent child. We cannot permit our delinquent child to
attack a country and start a war without first receiving our explicit
consent. An attack by Israel is an attack by the United States, and it
would surely justify any warlike response against us that Iran and its
friends might want to launch.

May God help us all.
