It is considered unusual for a former governor who holds no public office and is not currently running for another to have a foreign policy adviser. But Sarah Palin, not known for being conventional, has chosen Peter Schweizer for that job.
Schweizer is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution with expertise in international relations, national security affairs, and the U.S. presidency. He is also the author of a number of books, including two on President Reagan, one on the Bush family, and a critique on the effects of big government on the world economy.
Most recently, Schweizer published a critique of President Obama's policy in Libya, which he says has all of the elements of, what he calls an "overused analogy," another Vietnam. His critique echoes that Palin, which may partly explain why he is now working for her.

The target, the goal, the problem:
Muslim Brotherhood.
Reload, practice and reload again.
Some people buy a weedeater to cut down the weeds, I rent a backhoe and level my whole yard.
What I’d like to see Sarah Palin do is to stop making money simply by courting controversy but take on the Republican establishment politicians that are deemed “more electable” and beat them at their own game. She seems to be failing at that much less fighting a successful “culture war” with an exit strategy, but yes she doe$ have her following.
Were you off the planet last year? Google 2010 congressional elections.
She was promoting candidates who might do her some favors later perhaps, but Sarah Palin wasn’t running for anything.
...including Murky Cow-ski’s seat.
I hope you didn’t resign your spots at DU amd Huff&Blow, cuz you won’t be here long.
I must plead ignorance about DU amd Huff&Blow, but there are plenty of other forums with fewer people who take themselves entirely too seriously.
