Sarah Palin gave Charles Gibson, of the ABC television network, an exclusive interview. Here is a quote from Sarah Palin in her ABC interview: “For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable.”
Is that so, Sarah? In the interview, she certainly did prove one thing. She can lie and be dishonest just like the rest of them.
Not only did she show total ignorance of even what US intelligence services now confirm and admit, that Georgia was the aggressor in a campaign of genocide which Russia stopped, but she was totally clueless when questioned about the Bush Doctrine. Instead, Palin tried make believe she didn’t realize that the interviewer knew she didn’t have a clue what he was talking about.
Gibson: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?
Palin: In what respect, Charlie?
Gibson: Well, what do you interpret it to be?
Palin: His world view?
Gibson: The Bush doctrine, in September 2002, before the Iraq war.
Palin: I believe that what President Bush has attempted to do is rid this world of Islamic terrorists who are hell-bent in destroying our nation. There have been blunders along the way, though. there have been mistakes made, and with new leadership, and that's the beauty of American elections, of course, and democracy, is with new leadership comes opportunity to do things better.
Gibson: The Bush doctrine is we have the right of self-defense, preemptive strike against any country we think is going to attack us. do you agree with us?
Clearly Palin did not have the foggiest idea what Gibson meant. This is absolutely huge. The Bush doctrine of preemption and the National Security Strategy of 2002 was the central element of debate for almost 2 years in the foreign policy community and in the US during the run up to the invasion of Iraq and in the years after. It was probably the single greatest shift in US foreign policy in a generation, but a possible would-be US President is totally clueless about it.
Here are the interview questions where Palin showed…what is it? A total lack of knowledge and stupidity or a deliberate attempt to LIE?
GIBSON: Let me ask you about some specific national security situations.
PALIN: Sure.
