ANCHORAGE, Alaska — Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin is urging President Barack Obama to increase the number of U.S. troops stationed in Afghanistan.

Palin says in a posting on her Facebook page Tuesday that this is "not the time for cold feet, second thoughts, or indecision."

Instead, the former Alaska governor writes it's time "to act as commander in chief and approve the troops so clearly needed in Afghanistan."

Palin's posting comes as Obama decides whether to add to the 21,000 additional U.S. troops sent earlier this year.

[CAG]

4. Where the hell was this moron for five years as * ignored afghanistan

, a country that at least had some culpability for 9/11, while he flittered away in Iraq? Do these f-ing repukes have any 1) memory or 2) dignity???

[NOW tense]

5. She would escalate any war in hopes of "the end". n/t

[stickernation]

15. THIS is the key here

She is a DOMINIONIST.

This proclamation of hers is backed up by a very powerful Masonic "fight club" of bitter, rich military-industrial complex theocrats !!!

[Bigmack]

6. Now I'm even more convinced staying is wrong! nt

[jfkraus]

7. Shut the fuck up you stupid asshat!

[tishaLA]

8. Well, she is a foreign policy expert

She knows more about Afghanistan than Bristol, Todd, and Levi put together.


Maybe.

[A R S]

16. I sure do know she knows alot about Russia.

You know, as she can "see it from her house".

[niceypoo]

9. Was that before or after she got to level 75 in Mafia wars?

She quit being governor to play on Facebook all day long, who cares what she says?

[mac56]

10. Aww, ain't that cute?! The quitter says

this is "not the time for cold feet, second thoughts, or indecision."

[gratuitous]

18. And who would know better?

Sarah knows exactly when it's time for cold feet, second thoughts, and indecision.

[EmeraldCityGrl]

11. Fuck you Sarah. Let's send your son there instead of keeping him in the

cushy, protected detail he has now.

[Mari333]

12. send her kids first. nt

[IndianaGreen]

13. And Todd and Sarah should take the point

[IDemo]

14. She thinks Afghanistan is the capital of Bananastan

And she can see it from her back porch...

[LaPera]

17. Yeah republicans would rather have the money going to kill people than health care

for all Americans.....republicans want to continue keeping that huge war machine for corporate profits greased,...our tax dollars should be going to our health care, with a strong public option.

By the way fuck Sarah Palin she's stupid and simply a republican mouthpiece.

[hay rick]

19. The answer is always more troops.

There are two kinds of Republicans now- the ones who want to send more troops and the ones who want to send even more troops than the ones who want to send more troops.

Sarah Palin offering her strategic 2 cents on Facebook....whoa! Seriously, as a former Vice Presidential candidate she could be doing something to inspire little girls all over this great land- culling moose herds, memorizing the name of a newspaper AND a magazine...there is a list with no end of inspiration...

[Downwinder]

20. Is Sarah too old to enlist?

And she does not have a son in law to send, how about a daughter.

[atreides1]

32. Not sure

I believe that she's 45 and may be over the age limit, and she doesn't have a son-in-law, but she does have a son who is already enlisted.

Her oldest daughter Bristol is old enough to enlist, and is a single mother.

[Brother Buzz]

21. Facebook?

Someone from Associated Press reads Facebook? Man, that's first class reporting!

[paranoid floyd]

24. Exactly

Who the fuck posts "policy" from a site that allows you to also superpoke your friends. How fucking asinine is that.

[Rincewind]

22. Since her son

enlisted, I propose that we send him in first. How about that Sarah? Put your firstborn where your mouth is, don't just send the poor and minorities, if it's that important to you, send your own flesh and blood.

[primavera]

23. To hell with that

Send her. Although inflicting her upon another country might constitute a war crime.

25. Dear Mrs. Palin

You are not an elected official.
You have never served in the military.
Giving a speech in China does not qualify as foreign experience.
Didn't you see what happened when bush rubber-stamped his General's every desire?
Send in American soldiers to fight who? the Taliban? bush told me they were gone.
Why do you seem so worried about the costs of providing proper health care to the American poor, but not shoveling billions into foreign adventures?
What would you know about being commander in chief? You are not now, nor will you EVER hold that position.
Hey Sarah, do you consider war to be a pro-life position? Just wondering.
Do you think you were acting bravely by quitting your position as Governor? Did you have second thoughts about keeping your job.
So to sum up our little conversation. You are a loser, a quitter, a liar, a hypocrite, and so on, and so forth.

[ima_sinnic]

29. +1! (nt)

[tomg]

26. What a dipshit.

Maybe her campaign slogan should be "Palin: Because Now isn't the time to think about what you are doing"

[bc3000]

27. Who gives a fuck?

[NecklyTyler]

28. The Republican's blow up doll speaks on World Affairs ...

and is ignored

[BluDemocratGirl]

30. When will that floozy learn to STFU and get the hell on?

You are not in poltics anymore, ms. Palin. Why don't you take your airheaded, looney-tooney, "went to 5 schools to get 1 degree" ass on to Disneyland somewhere and call it a day? You AND your husband are quitters!

[krkaufman]

31. "in a posting on her Facebook page" . . . nuff said.

Can't wait to see SNL skewer Palin's Facebook-ing.

[liberal N proud]

33. How in the hell is what she thinks be relevant in this situation?

She is nothing more than a washed up ex-governor. A quitter at that.

And Obama is supposed take advice from her?

She needs to go back to the north woods and stay there.

[cap]

34. Palin doesn't want us to be known as quitters

she should know.

[joeycola]

36. seems lots of Dems agree with her.

[and-justice-for-all]

35. FFFail...nt
