Palin's Holy War in Iraq
Posted by Max Bergmann
The AP has further evidence that Sarah Palin is a radical radical extremist. We should all be afraid. Not only does she have close relations and sympathies with a secessionist party, but she also believes that the Iraq war is in fact holy war. She said just a few month ago that:
"Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God," she said. "That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God's plan."
When George Bush said that the U.S. was on a "crusade" as war against Afghanistan was imminent, the statement was met with revulsion throughout the Middle East. Placing the war in a religious context represented a propaganda victory for Al Qaeda and played into their propaganda that Islam was at war with the Christian west. That was bad. Real bad for our troops and for the United States. But Sarah Palin's comment is way more extreme than George Bush's statement. She basically called the war a holy war. This is extremely dangerous language that undermines the United States and our troops.
How can a politician, who is the governor of a state, act like she has descended directly from heaven and that she has first hand knowledge of what God wants?
So God is so much in love with a war which would kill millions of people that he makes a special plan for it and also tells Bush/Palin etc. all about it...now I get it!
She seems as much an extremist as those radicals who are willing to do anything in the name of God, and I mean anything!
If McCain wins, we will have a president who is himself Pro-War, someone who has always stood behind the stupid decisions and lies of the current one, and a VP who is even a bigger nut!
I hear Europe calling...

Perhaps you should show the ENTIRE comment instead of carefully editting out what she really said. Nice try at Journalism, though. Did you learn from Dan Rather?
The full transcript is on ABCnews.com, and they have now admitting to not showing her entire comment in the segment that was aired.
