And by the way, this sentence makes me cringe...

His mission, if it is to control energy supplies, also, coming from and through Russia, that's a dangerous position for our world to be in, if we were to allow that to happen.

So the Russian leadership can't be allowed to control energy supplies in Russia?

It's like she wanted to say something about energy because she's supposed to be an expert on energy. Unfortunately, it was nonsensical.

The "we can't second guess" answer (4 TIMES) to the question of supporting Israel in any war bit was scary

yea just saw it. she repeated one statement regarding isareal FOUR times. if she came off as natural, regardless of her views, she might have gained some points. but she seemed robotic, which gave off a very inexperienced person who simply is spraying talking points of mccain's foreign policy.

we can't have a VP who just follows whatever the president says b/c she doesn't know what's going on.

one of the clips. she looks extremely awkward answering those questions. i'm sure she's very bright, but she needs to step it up in the next interviews and debates if she wants mccain to win. it's all riding on her. mccain can't do nothing to win right now. it's all riding on her.

GIBSON: What if Israel decided it felt threatened and needed to take out the Iranian nuclear facilities?

PALIN: Well, first, we are friends with Israel and I don't think that we should second guess the measures that Israel has to take to defend themselves and for their security.

GIBSON: So if we wouldn't second guess it and they decided they needed to do it because Iran was an existential threat, we would cooperative or agree with that.

PALIN: I don't think we can second guess what Israel has to do to secure its nation.

GIBSON: So if it felt necessary, if it felt the need to defend itself by taking out Iranian nuclear facilities, that would be all right.

PALIN: We cannot second guess the steps that Israel has to take to defend itself.

We cannot second guess Palin's understanding of Israel.

Here you go...

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.

overall though, she didn't make any gaffes that would destroy mccain's campaign.

however, it obviously shows her inexperience (she's nearly clueless). i'm sure with more time, she'll give better answers. but seriously, mccain is putting the country in danger with this pick.

She didn't answer the question

And! She doesn't know what her party's foreign policy is.

Didn't answer the question? I guess the answer is just above he pay grade.

that question posed to her wasn't an ethical question. it was basically DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?

also if you notice in the videos, palin's face is not shown. it's obvious the mccain camp doesn't want the public to see how she answers the question (nervous, robotic, just saying things without thinking)
