John McCain interviewed by TV reporter Rob Caldwell of local TV station in Maine.
Q: Let 's move on to what you say is the number one issue facing the United States in our time. And that is the challenge of addressing Islamist extremism. What credentials does Gov. Palin have -- in national security, diplomacy, foreign policy -- that qualify her to be your partner in that, on that issue: the fight against Islamic extremism?
McCain: Well, obviously the economy is also a major challenge facing America.
Q: No, I'm using your words, Senator McCain, you have said, this summer...
McCain: No, I said...
Q: That the number one challenge of our time is Islamic extremism...
McCain: No, I said the greatest challenge of our time is national security threats. I've also said that jobs and the economy are the number one issue facing America.
Uhhh. First off, he is soooo not answering the original question about Palin's credentials when he quickly starts talking about the economy being a major challenge. :P That's probably 'cos he didn't want to admit that she HAS no credentials. ;)
And also, he says that he DIDN'T say Islamic extremism was the "number one" challenge of our time, but that it was the "greatest" challenge of our time. Hmmm, how is that different exactly? And how can Islamic extremism be the greatest challenge of our time, yet at the same time jobs and the economy are ALSO be the number one issue???? WTF.
If this man becomes president, it is not completely unlikely, given his age, that he might not survive his first term. Then the USA would have President Palin, which would even be worse. Check out this woman's stupidity:
Gibson: Do you agree with the Bush doctrine?
Palin: In what respect, Charlie?
Gibson: The Bush -- well, what do you -- what do you interpret it to be?
Palin: His world view.
Gibson: No, the Bush doctrine, enunciated September 2002, before the Iraq war.
Palin: I believe that what President Bush has attempted to do is rid this world of Islamic extremism, terrorists who are hell bent on 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, as I understand it, is that we have the right of anticipatory self-defense, that we have the right to a preemptive strike against any other country that we think is going to attack us. Do you agree with that?
Palin: Charlie, if there is legitimate and enough intelligence that tells us that a strike is imminent against American people, we have every right to defend our country. In fact, the president has the obligation, the duty to defend.
OMG she doesn't even know what the Bush Doctrine is!!!!! How embarassing for someone who's a politician and someone who, as a Republican, supports President Bush!! Yet she doesn't even know what she's supporting. Not to mention the fact that, when she finally does answer the question, she says that it is okay for the U.S. to strike preemptively whenever intelligence suggests that another country might attack the U.S. Yeah, the same way the intelligence "strongly suggested" that Saddam Hussein was an "imminent" threat to the U.S. Basically, if they hadn't invaded Iraq, Saddam would've launched a nuclear weapon against America two days later!!!
Right?
Now, I'm not as naive as to think that if the Obama/Biden ticket wins the election, the world will be a peachy happy place. But if McCain/Palin wins, I do think the world will be a worse place.
