Just went to the ABC News site and they're spinning Palin's answer on honoring NATO treaty obligations as "hard-line." And CNN's Campbell Brown also is mouthing the same thing.
Srsly ... wtf is wrong with these people? Did they replace all of the serious journalists with interns and bloggers? Didn't they ever hear of deterrence? Palin gave the right answer. If she had given a mealy-mouthed answer, then it would have made war MORE likely, not less. Didn't ABC run their story and headline by people with actual understanding of foreign policy or are they merrily rowing their boat into MSNBC waters?
Then again, these are probably the same people that thought deterrence meant unilateral nuclear disarmament, since the Soviets would have been deterred by our gosh jolly niceness. Right ... meanwhile the nice-nice Russians are assassinating former agents with polonium-210. Are these people living on the same planet?
