Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin said
until the United States has a Commander-in-Chief who knows what he is doing,
America should stay out of the mess in the Middle East. "Until
we have someone who knows what they’re doing, I say let Allah sort it out,”
Palin said, in reference to the Obama administration's decision last week to
arm Syrian rebels. She made her comments while headlining the Faith and Freedom
Coalition conference in Washington, D.C on Saturday.
Palin asked,
"militarily, where is our Commander-in-Chief?"
She noted America
is "talking" about "more new interventions" in
"radical Islamic countries" where both sides are slaughtering each
other" by crossing "arbitrary red lines" while screaming
"Allah Akbar."
Palin noted that
these countries do not even respect "basic human rights."
Here is Palin's
quote in full:
“Militarily, where is our commander-in-chief? We’re talking now more
new interventions. I say until we know what we’re doing, until we have a
commander-in-chief who knows what he’s doing, well, let these radical Islamic
countries who aren’t even respecting basic human rights, where both sides are
slaughtering each other as they scream over an arbitrary red line, ‘Allah
Akbar,’ I say until we have someone who knows what they’re doing, I say let
Allah sort it out."
My Take – One of
the things that is missing from this debate is highlighted in this comment from
someone with the handle - greatnesslostislegend
– after someone called FuzzysDaddy
called Palin an idiot talking to a wingnut audience claiming “she's a loser and
always will be.” In response greatnesslostislegend
says: “Since the Syrian conflict began the "rebels" have killed
nearly 45,000 Christians, injuring double that, and nearly 200,000 have fled
the country. It is cleansing Islam style, and guess which side Obama his
supporting?.....Look
at Obama's background. What in his stated education prepares him for something
like Syria? With math and science marks considerably poorer than Sarah Palin's
(Obama's own words) just who is an idiot here?”
The question I keep asking myself is: Why isn’t this clear an act of
genocide – or at the very least a form of ethnic cleansing - a highlighted feature on the news
each and every night?
