Palin says India-US ties are key to world’s future, warns of China’s rise in New Delhi speech By Associated Press, Saturday, March 19, 6:46 PM
NEW DELHI — U.S. politician Sarah Palin stressed the importance of America’s ties with India, saying they were based on the shared values of freedom and free-market capitalism, while sounding a warning note on China’s rise during a speech Saturday in New Delhi.
The visit to India is a rare foreign venture for the ex-Alaska governor and reality TV star, who was John McCain’s running mate in his failed 2008 campaign for president. The trip, which also includes a stop in Israel, is raising speculation Palin wants to burnish her foreign policy credentials ahead of a possible 2012 presidential run.
Palin told a well-heeled audience of Indian business leaders, professionals and socialites that U.S.-Indian relations were “key to the future of our world.”
“We’re going to need each other, especially as these other regions rise,” she said, in an apparent reference to China, during a Q&A that followed a keynote speech titled “My Vision of America.”
“Free people that make up a free country don’t wage war on another free country,” she said. “I want peace on Earth.”
She questioned the Chinese military’s ascent, saying the Communist country’s stockpiling of ballistic missiles, submarines and “new-age, ultramodern aircraft” seemed unjustified when it did not face an outside threat.
“What’s with the military buildup?” she said. “China’s military growth can’t just be for defensive purposes.”
Reporters who had been assured access were barred at the last minute. But the speech was shown on Indian television and in a live webcast.

Sarah Palin is a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN unlike Comrade Barry.
I find it very disturbing that the hindustan times completely ignored this.
Not a single story.
I cant remember the Compost ever describing Obama as, 'US President and politician, Barak Obama, ex community organizer and star of an almost daily, tiring television show.'
It’s probably because the event is organised is by a rival newspaper / magazine company - the India Today Group, and they likely have exclusive rights to the event reports, within India.
Holi Holiday in India. Tomorrow they may publish.
Sarah is right..2012 cannot come fast enough
China will just donate another billion dollars to Obozo’s reelection campaign.
A fine speech and Q&A session by Sarah Palin. I am glad she touched on the China military growth, which would be huge concern for India and several of the other countries in that region. China has had violent territorial conflicts with countries in the region. It does actively try to expand its territories. So this is good that Sarah touched on this issue. The Indians would clearly identify with that statement.
Boy is this WaPo article dripping with venom!
Well, waddya expect from an organization owned, run by, and staffed with snakes???
