#1 I'm sure that headline will get a lot of play in the liberal press. Here's what she actually said:

GIBSON: And you think it would be worth it to the United States, Georgia is worth it to the United States to go to war if Russia were to invade.

PALIN: What I think is that smaller democratic countries that are invaded by a larger power is something for us to be vigilant against. We have got to be cognizant of what the consequences are if a larger power is able to take over smaller democratic countries.

And we have got to be vigilant. We have got to show the support, in this case, for Georgia. The support that we can show is economic sanctions perhaps against Russia, if this is what it leads to.

It doesn't have to lead to war and it doesn't have to lead, as I said, to a Cold War, but economic sanctions, diplomatic pressure, again, counting on our allies to help us do that in this mission of keeping our eye on Russia and Putin and some of his desire to control and to control much more than smaller democratic countries.

#2 Again, e.g. USDODBUZZ > Former USAF SecAF had argued that the US could've and should've given more substantive MILPOL AID to GEORGIA AGZ RUSSIA, INCLUD BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FORMAL DEPLOYMENT OF US SPECOPS + MARINES, etc. TO PRECLUDE IFF NOT MIL STOP RUSS MILOPS!?

IOW, BLOG > DIRECT US- OR US-LED UNSC MIL ASSISTANCE + FORCE INTERVENTION???
