3am phone call..."President Palin, North Korea just attacked a remote South Korean outpost"

[Hugabear]

What once could have been dismissed as paranoia back in 2009 could very easily become a reality. Commander-in-Chief Sarah Palin. Think long and hard about that, the ramifications of what that means. Someone who has never served a single day in the Armed Forces - not even the National Guard, surrounded by a bunch of chickenhawk Teabagger advisors. I shudder to think of what a Palin presidency would do to our country. I have a feeling that she could make Bush & Cheney look like a bunch of pacifists by comparison.

Just reason #47 that we absolutely cannot afford to let these people win.

[liberal N proud]

1. She would have sent the missiles flying in all directions

The thought of her would make us all welcome bu$h in a minute.

[Hugabear]

3. As bad as Bush was, even he knew not to fuck with North Korea

n/t

[morningglory]

34. One stray missile would probably hit Juneau, AK n/t

[flvegan]

2. "That was pretty maverick of them, you betcha!"

[muntrv]

4. Palin: "I know! I can see the Koreas from my bathroom window!"

[baldguy]

5. "BOMB RUSSIA!"

"Then San Francisco!"

[sally cat]

6. Palin: "Sure you got that right? I just read on DU that South Korea shot first."

[Iggo]

25. LOL @ '...read...'

:rofl:

[Drale]

7. We would be invaded by

Russia, China, and all the other "evil" country's because they will realize how dangerous to the entire world "President" Palin would be.

[MedicalAdmin]

8. It's irrelevant that she hasn't served

In America the military is designed to be under civilian control. So military experience is irrelevant. But yah, the thought of her with the nuclear football scares the blueberries outa me.

[Stevenmarc]

9. Call TLC we have a second season

[LawnKorn]

10. "We have to protect South America from those North Kanadians - Invade Vancouver"

"We will hit them with an overland amphibious assault through the Straits of Georgia."

"Start massing the troops in Savannah, and I don't mean the one in the country of Africa either."

[Marie Marie]

11. First she'd have to Tweet.

Second she would pray. Third would go something like "Taaawwwdddd - loose the nukes! Bombs away - wheee, you betch ya."

[muriel_volestrangler]

12. Response: "Todd, Alaska's in the north, so north's good, huh? Tell 'em 'you betcha!'"

[Glimmer of Hope]

13. Lol! But seriously she has no business in having any decision

making power in a situation like that.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

29. You = teh psychic.

[yurbud]

14. ''I went to Fargo, North Korea when I was running for president with John McCain.''

[XemaSab]

21. .

:D

[AndrewP]

33. OMG. I live in Fargo and she may bomb me!

LOL

This idiot doesn't know what day it is, much less have the ability to run a nation.

[yurbud]

39. ''Don't you worry. Our bombs can't reach there. that's why it's called ''Fargo'' cuz

it's too far for our bombs to go. Geeze I thought everyone knew that!!''

[SoCalNative]

15. I keep this bookmarked

and visit occasionally as a reminder of what might have been (and still could be....):

[DavidDvorkin]

16. "You mean there are two DIFFERENT Koreas?"

[muriel_volestrangler]

19. Shit, I'd forgotten she'd had that trouble understanding Korea

Heilemann said that even after crash-course tutorials by campaign aides following the convention, Palin was still woefully uninformed about basic policy issues.

“(S)he still didn’t really understand why there was a North Korea and a South Korea,” Heilemann told the program’s Anderson Cooper. “She was still regularly saying that Saddam Hussein had been behind 9/11.”

[kestrel91316]

17. She would immediately nuke them, send in the entire US military, and

give the rest of the world a big FUCK YOU, and to hell with the consequences. The woman is a loose cannon.

[ikri]

35. Can't agree with that

She'd probably bomb Reykjavík instead, that's pretty northern.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. Quick! Assemble a team of crack prayer warriors!

And get me a map!

[Earth_First]

20. "You have reached the voicemail box of..."

:crickets:

[rainbow4321]

22. "Er, wait, North and South???"

"I'm sorry, I was half asleep when you called last night...now where was that problem..you said North and South, was that the Dakotas or the Carolinas you were talking about?"

[Hugabear]

23. StarI guess we know the answer now...gotta stand with our North Korean allies

Begin bombing Seoul!

[butterfly77]

24. KICK..

[treestar]

26. Just imagine what would happen in the Middle East

She'd use the first excuse to flex our military muscle.

[rug]

27. She'd mobilize the National Guard in South Dakota.

[superduperfarleft]

28. She'd probably attack the wrong one.

http://thinkprogress.org/2010/11/24/palin-north-korea/

CO-HOST: How would you handle a situation like the one that just developed in North Korea? <...>

PALIN: But obviously, we’ve got to stand with our North Korean allies. We’re bound to by treaty –

CO-HOST: South Korean.

PALIN: Eh, Yeah. And we’re also bound by prudence to stand with our South Korean allies, yes.

[SaveAmerica]

30. Does this mean they won't deliver anymore? No more fried rice!

[11 Bravo]

31. You mean the Yankee Koreans attacked the Confederate Koreans? Quick, find me a handler ...

to tell me how I feel about this!

[Glassunion]

32. Palin:Obviously, We’ve Got To Stand With Our North Korean Allies, we should help them bomb the South

[tanyev]

36. "Tawd, remind me again which side we're supposed to be on?"

[jberryhill]

37. "Why would Muslims attack a Koran?" she asked...

[Bucky]

38. Beyond that "our North Korean allies" groaner... Palin tried to blame Obama for allowing the attack.

Her argument wasn't coherent, but she's really such a one-trick pony that she actually used the shelling incident to imply that Obama wasn't strong enough. Facts don't matter, of course, the point is to make every statement that comes out of her mouth be an accusation against the president for whatever goes wrong in the world.

[canetoad]

40. Not only the thought of that idiot with her finger on the button

Have you ever imagined who she will select to surround her? Her trusted advisors? :nuke:

[jmowreader]

41. Then the first August of her administration should be a real hoot

The North Koreans are famous for attacking remote South Korean outposts along the DMZ in August. They fire a few rounds, First ROK Army fires a few rounds, no big deal. It doesn't even make the papers unless someone gets shot.

The worry is, if the North Koreans cross the DMZ rather than just shooting at us, or if they bring armor or artillery into the mix.

But seriously, if the North Korean People's Army decides to hold a serious attack we are well and truly fucked.

[NNN0LHI]

42. If McCain were president he would have already ordered our army to march into a nuclear holocaust

Because he knows damn well that is what most Americans want.

And McCain would have a +90% approval rating.
