Millions of Republicans have hailed Sarah Palin as a phenomenal choice for John McCain's vice president, despite the fact that none of them could have picked her out of a crowd three months ago. Still, this unknown woman, propped up at a podium was nearly drowned out by raucous Republicans who could hardly wait for her to take a breath so they could scream with ecstacy. Well, here's one veteran with a sober understanding of what it means if Sarah Palin becomes Commander in Chief. So, Mrs. Palin, since the media won't ask you the most important questions about the most important issue of our generation, I will: Q: Do you know the history of U.S. involvement in the Middle East? Q: Do you know the history of CIA involvement in the Middle East? Q: Have you read any of the following: the Senate Intelligence Report; the articles of impeachment against George W. Bush; Vincent Bugliosi's "Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder"; the Scott McClellan book, or the book by Mike Green, "The WHOLE Truth about the U.S. War on Terror: Answers to every question you never knew to ask" Q: As Governor of Alaska, have you sent any of your National Guard troops to Iraq based upon your own convictions or merely as a protocol submitting to the whims of the executive branch? Q: As a Christian, do you believe that Bush is being led by God? Q: Will you and McCain send our troops to war based on your revelations from God? Q: Are you familiar with the letters of correspondence from the president of Iran to the people of the U.S. and to George W. bush? Q: As a leader of this nation, will you engage in diplomatic discussions with Iran? If not, why not? Q: The overwhelming majority of Americans want our troops pulled out of Iraq completely without the excuses offered by the current administration. Will you remove ALL of the U.S. military from Iraq and neighboring countries? Q: The U.S. has been deeply involved in behind-the-scenes machinations in the Iraqi Oil Industry. Today, the 7 Sisters are lining up for an Iraqi land grab. Will you assure the American people that no U.S. troops or U.S. security forces will be provided to protect the oil leases purchased by U.S. oil companies in Iraq? Q: Today, tens of millions of Americans are dissatisfied with an untrustworthy secret executive branch that refuses to release data pertaining to 9/11. Will you ensure the American peope that ALL questions will be addressed publicly and ALL information pertaining to 9/11 will be declassified by the executive branch? Q: You have indicated that you don't have much knowledge of the War on Terror. What message are you sending to men and women who are sent under the authority of the Commander in Chief to put their lives on the line and to kill others based upon decisions about which you are apathetic? Q: Has the U.S. done anything wrong in the War on Terror? If so, what? And what were the costs of those wrongs in terms of lives, communities, environment and economic damages? Q: The House voted 251-166 to impeach president Bush. In the battles between Congress before the impeachment vote, Bush has won them all, including refusal to allow his staff to testify before Congress. In light of the Senate Intelligence Committee report, the domestic spying, secret prisons, torture, indefinite unlawful detainment and a host of egregious authoritative decisions that have alienated this president from the American people, how should Congress proceed given the urgency of the situation (lives being lost) and the overwhelming push by the people to impeach president Bush? http://www.thetruthaboutterror.org/blog/
