May 29, 2009, Anchorage, Alaska – Governor Sarah Palin called on President Barack Obama to take a firm stand against North Korea and defend the states and territories of the United States of America and American allies on the Korean peninsula.
This morning, North Korea launched its sixth short-range missile since Monday’s nuclear test. North Korea has also stated that it is no longer bound by the 1953 armistice that ended the Korean War. Further, President Obama has proposed a $1.4 billion reduction of the Missile Defense Agency’s budget.
“The United Nations sanctions have failed to stop North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons, and the Obama Administration cannot afford to be playing catch-up to an irrational dictator like Kim Jong-Il,” said Governor Palin. “Missile Defense Agency funding must be fully restored in the federal budget to guarantee our protective measures remain the best in the world. Fort Greely plays a crucial role in the nation’s security.”

“The United Nations sanctions have failed to stop North Korea’s development of nuclear weapons, and the Obama Administration cannot afford to be playing catch-up to an irrational dictator like Kim Jong-Il,” said Governor Palin. “Missile Defense Agency funding must be fully restored in the federal budget to guarantee our protective measures remain the best in the world. Fort Greely plays a crucial role in the nation’s security.”
Alaska is home to the largest ground-based mid-course defense missile shield in North America. Because of its geographical position and proximity to potential targets, Alaska plays a critical role in national security and in the defense of American allies.
Ground missile defense is the cornerstone of the Missile Defense Agency’s multi-layered architecture. It is designed to detect, track, discriminate, intercept and destroy long- and intermediate-range ballistic missiles during the mid-course phase of flight. The weapons system consists of land-, sea- and space-based sensors, command and control operations, and silo-based interceptors that are located at Vandenberg AFB, California and Fort Greely.
Sarah is ten times the man obambi is.
More and more I hope the MSM will live to regret the Hatchet Job they did to her in 2008 when 2012 comes around.
The More I learn about Palin the more I really really like her!
In other words... start acting like a man...
dont look down O’bummer but you have a makebelieve ballroom in your pants, and Sarah is way better equipt.
Uhoh, the pesky Palin sticks a finger into The Messiah’s eye. How will he respond?
Isn’t it amazing that it takes a plea from a STATE governor on a serious issue regarding NATIONAL security.
Hats off to Sarah Palin. Maybe we need to look to her to keep our country safe!
0’s policy is to talk incessantly, and carry a limp stick.
Wanna bet Iran is involved.
NK is testing their nukes.
The story is not what Sarah said but that she had to state it for public consumption at all.
This should have been a given. No governor should have to remind the POTUS of his responsibility to the USA, the American people and defending the Constitution.
Yep he is going to walk around for 4 years talking like a preacher whining about everything he “inherited”.
Sarah is ten times the man obambi is.

I recently heard a radio DJ state that he missed hearing Sarah Palin speak. Funny thing is, I could have sworn by what he said pre-election that he voted for Obama!
Now imagine if Sarah were POTUS. Would you be as anxious or concered about N. Korea launching a missile attack on the USA? I don’t think so.
President Pantywaist suffers from Empty Sack Syndrome.
It’s both sad and scary seeing this beneath the story about the SOD saying they are NOT a threat.
President Sarah Palin... my dream come true.
And VP Tancredo. Oh YEAH!
You Go, Girl! :)
Sure wish it was Sarah with her finger on the button, and not the Amateur in Chief that we currently have.
He is going to screw up so badly, the effects will be felt FOREVER in our country and around the world.
It is a certainty.
