Sarah Palin uses Facebook to beat the drums of war.

President Obama’s meeting with his top national security advisers does nothing to change the fact that his fundamental approach to terrorism is fatally flawed. We are at war with radical Islamic extremists and treating this threat as a law enforcement issue is dangerous for our nation’s security. That’s what happened in the 1990s and we saw the result on September 11, 2001. (Typical Republican trick to blame 9-11 on the Clinton administration. Did the Clinton administration get a briefing which read "Osama Bin Laden determined to strike in US"? No, no they did not.) This is a war on terror not an “overseas contingency operation.” Acts of terrorism are just that, not “man caused disasters.” The system did not work. Abdulmutallab was a child of privilege radicalized and trained by organized jihadists, not an “isolated extremist” who traveled to a land of “crushing poverty.” He is an enemy of the United States, not just another criminal defendant. (One guy gets on a plane and sets himself on fire in a failed terrorist attempt and suddenly "the system did not work"? But when four airplanes kill thousands of Americans and the Bush administration is nowhere to be seen THAT is somehow Bill Clinton's fault? No logic to be seen here kids just move along.)

It simply makes no sense to treat an al Qaeda-trained operative willing to die in the course of massacring hundreds of people as a common criminal. Reports indicate that Abdulmutallab stated there were many more like him in Yemen but that he stopped talking once he was read his Miranda rights. President Obama’s advisers lamely claim Abdulmutallab might be willing to agree to a plea bargain – pretty doubtful you can cut a deal with a suicide bomber. (This may in fact be a subject in which Sarah Palin is quite knowledgeable. As we all know she has a lot of experience with crazed radicals, just visit the "sea o' pea" or SarahPAC sometime if you have any doubts.) John Brennan, the President’s top counterterrorism adviser, bizarrely claimed “there are no downsides or upsides” to treating terrorists as enemy combatants. That is absurd. There is a very serious downside to treating them as criminals: terrorists invoke their “right” to remain silent and stop talking. Terrorists don’t tell us where they were trained, what they were trained in, who they were trained by, and who they were trained with. Giving foreign-born, foreign-trained terrorists the right to remain silent does nothing to keep Americans safe from terrorist threats. It only gives our enemies access to courtrooms where they can publicly grandstand, and to defense attorneys who can manipulate the legal process to gain access to classified information. (So Sarah Palin would prefer to go back to using torture techniques like we did when Bush and Cheney were in charge of this country. Perhaps somebody should tell Caribou Barbie that those techniques did not keep us safe either.)

President Obama was right to change his policy and decide to send no more detainees to Yemen where they can be free to rejoin their war on America. Now he must back off his reckless plan to close Guantanamo, begin treating terrorists as wartime enemies not suspects alleged to have committed crimes, and recognize that the real nature of the terrorist threat requires a commander-in-chief, not a constitutional law professor.

Okay I have just about had enough of this mooseshit!

Number one, Sarah Palin DID NOT WRITE THIS! It was written by Rebecca Mansour, with a possible assist by her toady Tim Lindell. NOBODY believes that Sarah writes these, so you might as well drop the charade.

Number Two, the only thing Sarah Palin and her followers want is for America to be in a constant state of war. If you think about it EVERYTHING they say is about violence and war. The war on terrorism, the war on drugs, the war on Christmas, the war on Islamofascism (which is essentially, a war on a made up name), and of course the war on freedom. Palin and her peeps WANT the war in the middle east to escalate because their religious faith promises them that it is absolutely necessary in order to usher in the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. (Yeah I know that is crazy, but remember who we are talking about.)

Number Three, Sarah Palin does not give a crap about America! Just like she did not give a crap about Alaska! She is simply wrapping herself in the flag, while clutching the bible to her breast, in an effort to further her personal agenda. Sarah Palin cares about nobody, but Sarah Palin!

If you take a moment to watch the Colbert Report, you will see him using completely over the top graphics and props to parody those at Fox News and Sarah Palin, who use equally shameless manipulations to gain support from their intellectually challenged supporters. However the sad fact is that it works! We may see shameless self promotion and transparent chicanery but the Palin supporters see a genuine American hero. It is both baffling and frightening.

Someday they will study the Sarah Palin phenomena as a kind of cautionary tale to illustrate just how easily people can be led toward darkenss and ignorance by a carefully crafted biography and a vaguely attractive visage.

However for right now this is our reality so I will continue to reveal the truth behind the image until the day that we can finally see the whole facade crumble into a million pieces. I have good feeling about this year. I believe this will be the year that puts the period on the end of Sarah Palin's political career.
