PALIN'S INSIGHT INTO RUSSIA

Perhaps this is what Palin was talking about while  the tittering hyenas yuked it up over this quote:

"And we've got to keep an eye on Russia. For Russia to have exerted such pressure in terms of invading a smaller democratic country, unprovoked, is unacceptable," she told Gibson. Russia invaded Georgia after the ex-Soviet republic invaded the separatist region of South Ossetia.

Palin said she had insights into U.S. relations with Russia because "they're our next-door neighbors, and you can actually see Russia from land here in Alaska ... from an island in Alaska." (more here)

Van wrote me that the Russian long-range Bear recon and bombers would soon be back. Palin's remarks about these flights were ridiculed in the press.  Well, here they come and they are armed now. He predicts they will show up in Cuba. They have already flown to Venezuela.

DEBKAfile's military sources report that starting Monday, Tu-160 Blackjack and Tu-95 MS Bear-H strategic bombers will fly missions carrying the maximum combat payload and firing all cruise missiles aboard over sub-Arctic Russia and Belarus, close to Alaska. Moscow is claiming to 18 percent of the oil-rich Arctic's territory.

Why do you need to interpret Palinese? If the candidate cannot simply articulate her own point of view in an interview, how can she defend her claim to be worthy of executive power in the white house?

Liberal Cognitive Dissoance Disorder - Jadro is a poster child for this disorder.

Palin make describes the situation with perfect clarity. She governs a state that has to negotiate trade deals with Japan, in addition, oil and fishing rights with mother Russia. When she speaks about Russia - EVERYONE should listen.
