Good stuff.
It’ll wake people up!
Mabe Obama can sit down with Putin and talk about all the things that He and Putin have in Common. Marixism is a universal language.
Hmmmm...I hope the Alaska National Guard is better than the Georgian Army...
Yeah ... that’s about the sizr of it.
Thanks....having trouble learning this html.
Guess the Gov knew what she was talking bout.
The Russian economy is tanking! Russian markets are down 65% since their high in March. Pootie is scared “sh..less” and trying to distract the natives from their economic collaps.

Guess we'll find out what kind of a CIC Gov. Palin has been.
Wolverines!
They are and they have been for some time now. The Alaska ANG typically performs most of the air intercepts in the region and the Alaska Army NG is also considered the world's leading cold weather combat organization.
The Russians would get their butts handed to them by the Alaskans if the Russians caused any trouble.
And if the Alaskans get really upset they may even have their husbands come in from fishing to help out.
I really do wonder what Putin is up to. With all of the instability around the world and our election about to happen this is very curious indeed.
Does aanyone have any insightful input on this.
I read the article and saw no mention of Alaska. What does this have to do with Alaska?
I totally agree with you. Putin might do something crazy to distract everyone out there on the economic collapse. A communist October surprise.

The Washington Generals have been seen practicing in the same town as the Globetrotters!
read it again.
“Exercise Stability 2008 will take place Oct.-6-12 over sub-Arctic Russia uncomfortably close to the US state of Alaska, and Belarus.”
“And if the Alaskans get really upset they may even have their husbands come in from fishing to help out.”
That’s funny right there!
Couric: You’ve cited Alaska’s proximity to Russia as part of your foreign policy experience. What did you mean by that?
Sarah Palin: That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and, on our other side, the land-boundary that we have with Canada. It’s funny that a comment like that was kinda made to … I don’t know, you know … reporters.
Couric: Mocked?
Palin: Yeah, mocked, I guess that’s the word, yeah.
Couric: Well, explain to me why that enhances your foreign-policy credentials.
Palin: Well, it certainly does, because our, our next-door neighbors are foreign countries, there in the state that I am the executive of. And there…
Couric: Have you ever been involved in any negotiations, for example, with the Russians?
Palin: We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia. As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where do they go? It’s Alaska. It’s just right over the border. It is from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there, they are right next to our state.

here is another source which should clarify.....
Russia is flexing muscle imo. The subtle point
of my post is how Palin was right about Russia/Alaska but has
been impuned by the Media for her remarks.
Based on these articles, I have more confidence in her awareness than that of Barack’s
judgment, in particularly based on the what I have seen in the Kenya video.

“Expect oil to fall below $40bbl as a result”
______________________________
This article fails to mention that on its way to Venezuala, the Russian warship is supposedly going to take out a few Somali pirates who’ve hijacked a Ukranian ship carrying 30 tanks, just south of the Suez Canal. There’s a whole lot more going on here. Just google “somali pirates, Faina, Deyanat, nuclear” or look here: http://shiratdevorah.blogspot.com/2008/10/hijacked-iranian-ship-was-dirty-bomb.html
Oil is headed lower, WAY lower and neither Iran nor Russia can afford for that to happen. So what will they do?
They are the best NG of any state.
The new ABM system protecting the US from rogue missle attacks originating in East Asia is operated by the AKNG.
Pailin may not be a Petraus, but she's more innvolved with issues of Defense and Security than any other Governor.
Not that this is anything fantastic but again these names...
McCa(in) Pal(in) Bid(en) Put(in)
Obama just don’t fit in except for Husse(in)
Just about every Alaskan is armed.
Paratroopers jumping into Alaska unannounced will be met with more resistance than those pansy Wolverines in Colorado. /s
I didn’t see that in the Times article. I feel like an idiot because I’ve read it a couple times, but only see a reference to Murmansk on the Arctic coast, which is nowhere near Alaska. I didn’t read the debka article — I thought they were crackpots? But thanks.
Expect a President Obama to offer to return Alaska to the Russians to achieve Peace In Our Time.
I doubt that. Alaska would leave the union before that ever happened and would survive just fine on it’s own.
Actually, fishing is pretty much finished. Most of the husbands (and a lot of the wives) are out hunting furry things, like bears and moose. But with GPS and cellphones, they can come in any time.
I believe the ANG and the AANG never stand down. They are on active duty at all times because of our neighbors to the west.
There are too many of use here with guns that know how to use them well for any dummies trying anything.
it’s not the guns that bother me....it’s that “bomb” thingy that will get you every time! (Palin wink ; )
