Why did McCain pick a potential Commander-in Chief who admits she hasn't paid attention to the war in Iraq?

Question

Palin: "I haven't focused that much on the war in Iraq".

Answer 1

not very smart question, especially since she has a son in the Army and will be going to Iraq. Nice try with the lies but expected from a liberal

Answer 2

Bush didn't know? Bush still couldn't find Iraq on a map.

Answer 3

I dont know he is stupid

Answer 4

stupid republicans

Answer 5

I don't anything about the specific quote you're talking about, but she's very involved with the soldiers from Alaska who have and will serve in Iraq.  Her son is also being deployed to Iraq.  I'm sure she knows more about Iraq that Germany's PM.

Answer 6

a republican woman chosen to run the war, that will be the day.

she hasent paid attention to it because its a pr nightmare and priviledged information. Shes the governor of alaska, i think the war is the last thing on my mind if i lived in alaska.  it a good tactic to say as a matter of fact she hasent focused on the war. perhaps shes "beyond" it or something. shes the governator. there are people other then the puppets on that hourah confetti stage that acutally make those harball neocon decisions of war. she was chosen cause shes a mid 40's womanly person with a perdy stereotype southern accent. she can win votes mccain caint.

Answer 7

Why did Libs pick a potential Commander-in-Chief who has less experience than Palin?

Oh, that's right.  You all had stars in your eyes.

Answer 8

Seems Mr McCain would rather lose the Country to win an Election! This move shows Very poor Judgment especially with the Statement Gov Palin made. She probably didn't realize that the President & Vice President must have Foreign Affairs knowledge! Sad HOWEVER McCain made a poor Choice at the time in the world HAVING (2) WARS GOING ON! I guess that's the Maverick in him. Putting Country 2nd!

Obama /Biden 2008!

Ebony & Ivory Presidency!

Answer 9

She's honest, you got a problem with that?

Answer 10

Why did you demos pick Obama as you nonimee...he has no experance being a senator for 2 years and giviing a little anti war speech doesn't even come close to qualifing you....

Answer 11

Because Condoleezza Rice, a black woman wasn't available.  He needed a token female but Condoleezza was too smart to become his token black woman.  He just wants to get brownie points since he still agrees with Bush politics.

Answer 12

Vice Presidents don't make Commander In Chief decisions until the President dies. Until then, it's not an issue.

Answer 13

Well, Bush didn't know much about Iraq before he invaded, either.

The reason for the Iraq War and the reason for picking Palin at this time are the same.  Electioneering.

Answer 14

That wasn't the issue.

She's a woman and that's all he needed.

Answer 15

She can learn and use advisers, I hope Obama does too, he doesn't even know how many states their are.

Answer 16

He probs thought she can cook and like cookery is so important and like the women will so totally identify with that and like maybe folks might not see how totally desperate I am and he'd be sooooooo wrong.Lol.

Answer 17

McCain has this handled.  This girl job is a hatchet to wack at killing social / socialist programs so social works don't tell us to how to raise our kids.

Answer 18

I don't know, can you imagine if he drops dead?  What experience does she have?  She breastfed or something?  lol

Answer 19

To appeal to the common folk that are truly concerned and are at a lost as to how to help.

Answer 20

he wanted to gain the votes of pissed off Hillary supporters... i.e. trying to appease the sore losers...

Answer 21

Who has focused on the war in Iraq? it is going fine..the US kicked

terrorist butt and took names..Sadaam Insane Hussein is with his kids in hades..we did that and a bag of chipt

Sarah Palin has a kid in the military..I guess she is focused on more

important issues..as he is going to be the next Vice President

Obama is toast and so is JOE Blow. Biden..both are gone gone gone

Answer 22

It's purely insane to enter federal politics without taking considerable notice of the War On Iraq.  Does she know where Iraq is?  Iran?  the Continental US?

Answer 23

The war in Iraq is soon to be a non issue thanks to the surge (that Obama did -not- support or will acknowledge).^

Answer 24

She is not ready to run the country

Answer 25

My guess is since she is head of the national guard in alaska, she paid attention a little.  Also having a son in the military would probably cause her to pay attention a little

Answer 26

Because McCain wants to prove hes a maverick so bad he will risk committing political sucide LoooooooL

Obama wins.

Answer 27

Please stop!  I can't stand this deluge of facts proving that McCain has suffered a stroke while watching Obama's speech!  How can she not have enough respect for herself to be quoted like that?

Answer 28

my dear iraq get attention because he is arch country  

Answer 29

I love questions like this. Innuendo. is your trade mark on this rant.

Sarah Palin is the Commander of the Alaska National Guard. She

has made three trips to Iraq, to visit and let her soliders know how

her office and state feels about there service. And did this without

a entourage of 113 reporters and news crews. Now in my book that

stands for something. So if you wish to compare Character and

Integrity, I know where she stands, And I d**n sure know where

Obama does not.

Answer 30

I would like a link to that quote but from what I've seen so far I would doubt she said that.

Answer 31

Because he is not doing what is best for our country he is like little boy in high who just want to beat the popular guy.... He picked her hoping that it will get the votes of the Hillary supporters that is so sad pathetic.. I'm a woman and i feel as a women she doesn't even know when she is being played..
