Sarah Palin: Kim Jong is Il, Which Means That Cutting US Defense is Sick

With the Lil’ Nutcase in North Korea now testing nukes, Sarah Palin asks a relevant question via Twitter:

Why consider US missile program cuts now? AK military program helps secure US. Now is NOT time to cut our defense.

This is a good point, albeit an unfortunately obvious one to have to make. Since it’s likely that all we can expect in the form of direct action from President Obama’s beloved “international community” (which is why we elected an “international community organizer”) is the obligatory “strongly worded letter,” the only thing that might save us is missile defense, which Obama wants to cut.

Obama has proven to be pragmatic for selfish political reasons on Gitmo, CIA files, detainee photos and other issues, so my guess is he ultimately flip-flops on missile defense and nukes.

As soon as Obama realizes that his exclusive national defense policy of “unclenching the fists of those who disagree with America” was a bad idea (mainly because it could get millions of registered Democrat voters killed before the next election), we may get a shield — if it’s not too late already.

But maybe we won’t get a shield, even if the president wants one — we’re out of money.

As with every other Palin-related post these days, we have to run the “Bear in the woods” remix that will make a great ad for the 2012 campaign:

Kim Jong is Il, Which Means That Cutting US Defense is Sick

And Obama is aiding and abetting the enema.

Yeah! Send a strongly worded letter. That’ll show ‘em.

“What are we supposed to use? Harsh language?”

The video provided a much needed laugh.
Now if we could see a similar response to the Norks.

yesterday was not the day for him to play golf. i guess he thought no one would know because no one would be watching the news. well, i was watching for his response to:

north korea’s nuclear testing
heavy US casualties in afghanistan
deployment of Iranian warships
Chavez supplying Iran with uranium (or plutonium).
