Self-confessed bulldog with lipstick and conservative hero Sarah Palin has started her 2012 campaign on a combative note. War with Iran and soon. This comes in the wake of Tehran yet again getting up the West’s noses with regard to their uranium enrichment programme.
Palin advocated war with Iran in a recent interview with Fox news and added that the war card may well be Obamas safest bet for re-election in 2012. "Say he decided to declare war on Iran or decided really to come out and do whatever he could to support Israel, which I would like him to do," she said on Sunday.
She also added that she felt Obama would not be re-elected were the US to go to the polls today.
This comes in the wake of her comments at a Tea party Convention this past weekend where she criticised Obama’s “hope-y change-y policies” and asked “what had they done for you”.
Palin who seemingly went to ground following her and Senator John McCain electoral loss to Obama in 2008 has recently become more publicly active, joining Fox News as an analyst and commentator and speaking out more on current political events.
That and rumours that she has a pool of advisers helping her analyse and speak out on policy has fuelled rumours that the Republican party is preparing her for a major assault on the polls in 2012. A frequent criticism of Palin during the last electoral race was that while she appealed very well to her conservative constituency her grasp on global affairs was embarrassingly limited and her views were too hardline to appeal to the crucial moderate voter pool.
Three sets of sanctions have already been imposed on Iran. Despite other countries which have veto power in the UN Security Council, China has insisted on continued dialogue to resolve the issue.
The US, which has accused Iran of developing nuclear weapons, has also threatened the Islamic Republic with war to force Tehran into halting its nuclear activities.
The war drums are being beaten as new reports have revealed that the Israeli navy has dispatched two ships armed with missiles into the Persian Gulf.
Local news broadcast (KTVU, SF/Oakland) said the same thing last night, that Palin would declare war on Iran.
The left and the MSM (same thing) flat out make up lies about Palin, which the ignorant public believes.
I used to think the MSM was ignorant.
They’re not. They’re complicit.
