Re: I wish she'd stay in Alaska

So, you get a grand total of about two dozen words from the interview and you know everything you need to know. Good thing you've got MSNBC doing your chewing for you.

A more extensive quote based on an early audio transcript:

^"Remember, President Reagan lived that mantra trust but verify. We want to be able to trust those who are screaming for democracy there in Egypt, that it is a true sincere desire for freedoms and the challenge that we have though, is how do we verify what it is that we are being told, what it is that the American public are being fed via media, via the protestors, via the government there in Egypt in order for us to really have some sound information to make wise decisions on what our position is. Trust but verify, and try to understand is what I would hope our leaders are engaged in right now. Who’s going to fill the void? Mubarak, he's gone, one way or the other you know, he is not going to be the leader of Egypt, that that's a given, so now the information needs to be gathered and understood as to who it will be that fills now the void in the government. Is it going to be the Muslim Brotherhood? We should not stand for that, or with that or by that. Any radical Islamists, no that is not who we should be supporting and standing by, so we need to find out who was behind all of the turmoil and the revolt and the protests so that good decisions can be made in terms of who we will stand by and support."^

As a verbal transcript, it needs work, but you get the idea. Do you have any problem with being very careful about who we support as a replacement for the current Egyptian government?

Meanwhile Obama is basically a deer in the headlights. From what I've seen so far all he's got going is "Mubarak bad, protestors good." Didn't we go through this scenario already with Jimmy Carter?

Incidentally, Palin never said she could see Russia from her front porch.
