RunInRed 19,632 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Palin could not be reached for comment, word is she was busy scouting Russia from her kitchen window John McCain said Friday that his former rival Barack Obama has put together an "excellent" national security team, and defended the selection of Leon Panetta to head the Central Intelligence Agency."I'm not here trying to argue that this president is perfect and that there aren’t still disagreements, but I do think his national security team is an excellent one," McCain told Fox News. He described his post-election conversations with Obama as "cordial" and said he has spoken with the president-elect about the situations in Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Asked about Obama's decision to name Panetta to run the CIA, McCain defended Panetta against early criticism that the former Clinton official lacked sufficient intelligence experience to lead the spy agency. "Leon Panetta has great experience as chief of staff of White House," McCain said. He called Panetta "highly qualified" and added: "In all due respect, I think it's not bad from time to time to have someone from outside the intelligence community, but with strong experience in the White House." On the topic of Obama's economic stimulus package, McCain did not promise to support the plan, but said it deserves consideration. "These are extraordinary times that require extraordinary measures," he explained. Despite the recovery package's hefty price tag, McCain said the tax relief measures included in the plan made him more inclined to examine it. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/...bamas-cia-pick/ Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/55333-mccain-defends-obamas-cia-pick/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder if she can also see all the way to Moscow and look into Putin's eyes? What I wouldn't give for telescopic eyes.

It's Alaska. It's just right over the border. It is-- from Alaska that we send those out to make sure that an eye is being kept on this very powerful nation, Russia, because they are right there.

Anyways, back to your boy McCain thinking the CIA pick was good... No you don't get off that quick. You told a lie and were caught.

Little Diomede Island off the west coast of Alaska is only 2.5 miles from Russia's Big Diomede Island. The Bering Straight seperates Russia and Alaska.

The Diomedes are a strange case...Little Diomede Island, which belongs to Alaska, is very sparsely populated; Big Diomede Island was depopulated by the Soviets. http://www.slate.com/id/2200155/ Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/55333-mccain-defends-obamas-cia-pick/#findComment-571889 Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunInRed 19,632 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 What lie?

Tigermike 4,246 Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Lying on the Shabbat, Obama will be so proud. What lie? If you say something as a joke and follow it further by an emoticon indicating it as so (for those who didn't get it in the first place)...you need a cold shower TM. I guess this was offered up to prove your lie was in fact truth. Wasilla, Alaska, is 1130 km from Russia. Wonder if she can also see all the way to Moscow and look into Putin's eyes? What I wouldn't give for telescopic eyes. You should ask Joe Biden for a job, you would fit right in with his idea of honesty.

RunInRed 19,632 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Share Posted January 11, 2009 How do you know Palin hasn't been scouting Russia from her house with a telescope?

After all, if it wasn't for Alaska protecting the home front, Russia would have attacked long ago. SFB. Take a good look at your little picture, Wasilla, Alaska, is 1130 km from Russia. Also there are several mountain ranges between Wasilla & the Russian mainland. Even with a very good telescope at that distance, the curve of the earth would make it impossible to see Russia from her kitchen window. Now if she were on Attu island she wouldn't need a telescope, it's only a few miles.
