"First, we should only commit our forces when clear and vital American interests are at stake, period. "

What pray tell were the "vital American interests" when she was calling for a Libyan no fly zone?

I also don't see a peep in their about securing either a declaration of war, or authorization from Congress.

Does she think that No Fly Zone didn't need Congressional approval?

For the initial concerns, check past news stories from a great number of western countries. However, she wasn't alone in this call for extremely limited action, which was then grossly exceeded by the Obama administration, and against which she then protested.

I also don't see a peep in their about securing either a declaration of war, or authorization from Congress.

Well then I guess she's talking about the powers inherent in the presidency to use armed forces short of a declaration of war, right? You are aware such powers not only exist, but are crucial for a president to use properly in order to prevent the need for congressionally approved, open war - right?

Does she think that No Fly Zone didn't need Congressional approval?

Do you think it does? Why?

Ya know, I won’t vote for her in the primaries; if she’s on the ticket for the general, I can pull the lever for her pretty easy though (c’mon, her vs. “a democrat”? no question). What I don’t like is her shift into “polishing” her image for general consumption. Ever sine the “retard” debacle several months back and her talking about the “r-word” at some press conference; blech...More and more she is having to re-adjust her positions as she compromises more and more on WHO SHE IS. I loved the un-polished Sarah Palin much better. Not sure what I am witnessing exactly at this point. A run to the center or new RINO in the making.

If you two don’t like women in positions of power, be it for religious reasons or something else, why don’t you just come out and say it? I know I’d respect you more for it than this ankle-biting that you do on so many Palin threads.
