In her interview with Katie Couric Sarah Palin essentially called Henry Kissinger naive and also proved that she just hasn't done her homework. Couric: You met yesterday with former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, who is for direct diplomacy with both Iran and Syria. Do you believe the U.S. should negotiate with leaders like President Assad and Ahmadinejad? Palin: I think, with Ahmadinejad, personally, he is not one to negotiate with. You can't just sit down with him with no preconditions being met. Barack Obama is so off-base in his proclamation that he would meet with some of these leaders around our world who would seek to destroy America and that, and without preconditions being met. That's beyond naïve. And it's beyond bad judgment. Couric: Are you saying Henry Kissinger ... Palin: It's dangerous. Couric: ... is naïve for supporting that? Palin: I've never heard Henry Kissinger say, "Yeah, I'll meet with these leaders without preconditions being met." Diplomacy is about doing a lot of background work first and shoring up allies and positions and figuring out what sanctions perhaps could be implemented if things weren't gonna go right. That's part of diplomacy. Actually. That's exactly Henry Kissinger's position. And Couric even went ahead and confirmed it with Kissinger after the interview. Here is what Kissinger said just last week at a forum of five secretaries of state. "I'm in favor of negotiating with Iran. And one -- (unintelligible) -- of negotiation is to put before Iran our vision of a Middle East -- of a stable Middle East and our notion of nuclear proliferation at a high enough level so that they have to study it." It's not only Kissinger's position. It is James Baker and Colin Powell's position as well. Here is what Powell said at the event. Powell: "we should start to talk to them. Don't wait for a letter coming from them. Start discussion. We've been talking to them up through 2003." Asked whether we should "take the initiative?" Powell responded, "Yeah. We shouldn't we? What are we afraid of? We did." But who cares what Kissinger, Powell and Baker think. Sarah Palin is running the country now...

Palin: It's dangerous. Couric: ... is naïve for supporting that? Reads here as if those are the words of the talking head?????
yes, i noticed that. this came from Huffpo so that tactic doesn't surprise me. i posted it anyway because of palin's expressing that she doesn't think Ahmadinejad should be negotiated with.

Never trust anyone in the news business that writes or talks for a living. Social bottom feeders, politicians, lawyers, car salesmen and word smiths.
I think these are three main perpetrators who need brought to justice. Palin's just a Caribou Barbie pull-my-string.
Ron Paul was too nice, too much of a gentleman and they mocked him on national TV. Palin cannot allow that if she is ever going to continue. She needs to learn the art of the jab and the barb.
Ha... And angle is not a red blooded American boy.
I take it you're enamored of Plain?
Enamored????? At my AGE, enamored would be fatal. Lets just say, I may be olde but I do sneak a look around now and then.
Good God, is that woman stupid. I used to think that George W. Bush was the limit of how dumb you could be and still have a shot at the highest office in the land, I guess I was wrong. I normally loathe Henry Kissinger, but this Alaskan moonbat whose foreign policy knowledge is limited to saying that she can see Russia from the coast isn't in a position to call ANYONE naive.
Baker is light years better than anyone on Bush II's team. People like Baker base their policy decisions on strategic realism instead of neocon obsessions, he had enough sense to realize in 1991 that occupying Iraq and overthrowing Saddam Hussein would just destablize the region. He also wasn't owned by Israel. Which is more sense than Dumbya, McCain, or the Dogsled Team Cheerleader have ever shown.
Admit it, you're pulling for her to replace McCant as the repugnant nominee.
Baker has his own agenda and it doesn't have anything to do with loving this country.
There are two globalist camps fighting for power and influence. They work together against common enemies like Russia, but they are worlds apart on Mideast policy. One group, which includes "liberals" like Carter and Brzezinski, as well as "realists" like Baker, Powell, etc. want a New World Order run out of UN quarters and the CFR. The other group fighting for control of the New World Order are the neoconservatives, who want the NWO to be run by Israel. Thanks to the Bush administration, the neoconservatives have the upper hand, and it's in our interest to see the "realists" chip away at their control.
There're better strategies than aligning with the realist camp. The financial armageddon has them all in a spiral down.
Hint... If I were thirty years younger I would to Alaska. Not really, I been to Alaska when I was young and froze to death.
I am flabbergasted. I almost expect her to blurt out: "Girls, this is not a DEMocracy, this is a CHEERocracy and I'm the cheertator!!"
zbig is a foreign policy advisor to obama and did you know that zbig's son is a foreign policy advisor to mcCain?

Both camps hedge their bets. There are or have been both Zionists and realists in the Bush and Clinton admistrations too.
Couric: Are you saying Henry Kissinger ...
