Governor Palin has been said she has no National Security expience. Alaska provide for a differant type of governor. While she is brief on the defense of the Alaska pipeline. She gets briefings on the Statgigic Missles that are located near Ft. Greely Alaska. Among other Governores she does not have a security clearanse like most preisdents wond have. An Example of tis is Obama, by virtrual of his cocaine use and embodiement with William Ayers an manwho bomb the pentagon, he will recieve a briefing of national securty. The President is the only person that doesnot have to get a security clearance.
Governor Palin by virual of her being an Alaska governor and commander in Chief of the Alaska National Guard receives briefings on national secuity and the interowrkings if the missile system that os dfeployed in her state/ The reason? The missle defence sheld is an Alaks National Guard duty. So everyone can out thier rhetoric to rest about her lack lack of national security exoperience.
One area of Sarah Palin's background that may help her is Alaska's unique role in our national security and homeland defense. Several folks have have mentioned this but Tom W. was specific and his info jibes with the record.
Alaska is the first line of defense in our missile interceptor defense system. The 49th Missile Defense Battalion of the Alaska National Guard is the unit that protects the entire nation from ballistic missile attacks. It’s on permanent active duty, unlike other Guard units.
As governor of Alaska, Palin is briefed on highly classified military issues, homeland security, and counterterrorism. Her exposure to classified material may rival even Biden's.
She's also the commander in chief of the Alaska State Defense Force (ASDF), a federally recognized militia incorporated into Homeland Security's counterterrorism plans.
Palin is privy to military and intelligence secrets that are vital to the entire country's defense. Given Alaska's proximity to Russia, she may have security clearances we don't even know about.
According to the Washington Post, she first met with McCain in February, but nobody ever found out. This is a woman used to keeping secrets.
She can be entrusted with our national security, because she already is.
I agree with that assessment except for the thought that her access to classified material may rival Biden's. Highly unlikely as Biden's seat on the Foreign Relations committee would expose him to information on a very wide array of topics. But her experience in keeping the homeland safe fits perfectly with her image as the competent American woman.It's not the same as having your finger on the button, but it a heckuva lot closer than Biden or Barry O has ever been.
It will be tremendous fun to watch a couple of complete political tools like the Hope&Change duo attempt to attack a record of substance not words, a record of action not bloviation, a record of kicking ass and taking names against what now.......?
