Sarah Palin's entire speech at CPAC.

The topic that Palin claims to have been asked to speak on was veterans. So you know she was ready to trot out the name of old Warrior Body himself Track Palin.

Palin starts off by giving us a history lesson in which she suggests that George Washington set the standard for honoring our veterans and that we have fallen far short of that. (I actually agree with that.)

Palin makes the very valid point that our veterans today are serving longer deployments than all military servicemen before them, and even lays out the multiple problems they are facing after they finish their military service. (Of course she injects Track's name, claiming she worried about him while he was in Iraq, without revealing her role in forcing him to go into the military in the first place.

But then Palin decides to lay ALL of the blame for the mistreatment of our returning vets on the Obama administration, without a word of condemnation for the Bush administration, which is ridiculous since it was they who sent these men and women overseas in the first place with no adequate plan for their return.

Palin also decides to blame Obama for "not winning the wars:"

"But see the thing that those vets, from the Revolutionary war, what they had, that today's troops don't, is victory. And that is the thing that they cherish most. They deserve to know that their sacrifices are not in vain. To know that what they fought for, and what their friends died for was worth it."

At no point does Palin bother to remind the crowd that the war raged under the Bush administration for six years with no sign of victory on the horizon. No in Palin's version of history the Republicans started a glorious righteous war, that the Democratic President lost. Undoubtedly on purpose.

Palin goes on to blame Obama for "waving the white flag" and suggests that he has allowed the "Islamic terrorists" to grow stronger because he does not want to engage them.

"Aside from God almighty what is the only force strong enough to keep this barbaric rolling tide at bay? The only thing standing in between us and savages? It's the red, white, and blue It's the United States military."

Yep, that is a thing that she said.

Palin goes on to gin up fear among the audience concerning ISIS and claim that due to President Obama's "lead from behind" approach that Christians are being killed by them all over the Middle East. (She does not seem to care how many Muslims they kill, only the Christians matter in Palin world.)

"Oh the naive Obama state department. They say 'We can't kill our way out of war.' Really? Tell that to the Nazis. Oh wait you can't, because they're dead. We killed em."

Palin's lack of understanding about the difference in fighting a standing army, and a terrorist organization is stunning. But that CPAC crowd ate it up with a spoon.

At this point in the speech Palin goes into full military pander mode, and even manages to fake a little emotion as well.

At the end of the speech Palin participates in a really short Q and A, where unlike previous speakers she is only asked to respond in one word answers. They call it a "lightning round." (You know that was arranged to keep her from saying anything stupid.)

Question: "Barack Obama?"

Palin answer: "Sorry. Hey we came in second out of two. Sorry."

Question: "Hillary Rodham Clinton?"

Palin answer:  "I'm sorry."

I'm noticing a pattern.

Question: "Lady Margaret Thatcher?"

Palin answer: "Iron."

The next question is about her message to young people which she responds to with a helping of the word sausage that the organizers were working hard to keep her from vomiting forth.

The last question is whether she thinks there is a double standard in the way the media treats liberal female candidates and conservative female candidates, and of course Palin answers "Yes."

Below is a tweet from reporter Kasie Hunt demonstrating how much of the audience responded to the Q and A.
