Russians do not fly over Alaskan airspace. Are you as dumb as her? Don't make me post the ing picture.
Governorship of Alaska:
Overseas multiple joint governmental co-op projects between the Government of Russia and the State of Alaska.
Overseas multiple joint co-op projects between the Governent of Candada and the State of Alaska.
Russia and Alaska are strong economic trading partners....as well as cultural exchange partners.
Alaska shares commercial fishing waters with Russia, China, Japan and South Korea.
And yes...the Russians do fly over Alaskan airspace.
You alrweady know the about MDSm that she may or not be privvy too(and if she is they aren't going to announce it because of the security clearance, common sense says she does know something if only due to the chain of command) and the active duty National Guard which she has commanded.
You can poo poo it all you want...and I will instantly brand you an idiot and ask you what Governorship gives you more experience. Clinton, Bush and Reagan didn't have that kind of experience...the only Governorship that might rival it is New York due to the UN being there.
And she did negotiate a pipeline deal with the Canadian Government...you tell me when Clinton, Bush or Reagan did that.
Suck it.
The National Guard of Alaska is always on duty. Even though the General in command said otherwise, as the civillian CIC of the military I guarantee you she is in the chan of command at some point. That's inherent in the powers of every Governorship.
So like I was sayin' Manny...how much experience did Clinton, Reagan and Bush have?
Anaswer=Less
Invalid criticism.
Post the picture, but be sure to read this:

From CBS News' Scott Conroy:
(PHILADELPHIA) In her role as Commander-in-Chief of the Alaska National Guard, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin has received briefings on Russian military plane incursions near Alaskan airspace, an Alaska National Guard spokesman confirms to CBS News.
Since she joined the Republican ticket nearly a month ago, the McCain campaign has struggled to defend Palin’s foreign policy experience, especially in regard to a special awareness of Russia, which she and her campaign have repeatedly suggested she possesses. The revelation that Palin was briefed on Russian military incursions near U.S. airspace is the first concrete evidence that backs up the McCain campaign’s repeated assertion that Alaska’s proximity to Siberia has given Palin experience on U.S. policy related to Russia.
“Russian incursions near Alaskan airspace and inside the air defense identification zone have occurred,” a McCain campaign spokesperson told CBS News. “When they do, Governor Palin is briefed on them by the Adjutant General of the Alaska National Guard. U.S Air Force fighters have been scrambled repeatedly in response to Russian actions. After September 11, 2001, U.S. tolerance for such activities is understandably low.”
Captain Guy Hayes, an Alaska National Guard Public Affairs Officer, confirmed that Palin has received such briefings from Adjutant General Craig E. Campbell on Russian plane incursions.
“Guardsmen do work in the section that patrols the air over Alaska,” Hayes added.
It may sound like a cat and mouse game more reminiscent of the Cold War than the post-9/11 world, but Russian bombers have recently engaged in exercises in which they have flown provocatively close to Alaskan airspace.
The revelation that Palin has received briefings on these activities comes after she again seemed to struggle to explain how her state’s proximity to Russia enhances her foreign policy credentials in an interview with CBS News’ Katie Couric.
Pressed on the details of her involvement in Russian affairs, Palin did not mention the briefings she has received on the plane incursions. She did, however, point out that Alaska has a tiny maritime border with Russia (the vast majority of Alaska’s coast borders international waters). But as governor and in her Alaska National Guard role, Palin is not involved in discussions on maritime security.
“That’s a Coast Guard duty when you’re talking about maritime,” Captain Hayes said.
Palin also offered as evidence of her experience on Russia, “We have trade missions back and forth, we do. It’s very important when you consider even national security issues with Russia.”
But Palin has never been to Russia, and the McCain campaign has provided no evidence of any personal involvement she has had in negotiations with Russian trade officials.
According to Martha Olcott, a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace, Palin may have had more direct involvement in Russian trade had she been governor during the early 1990s, when it was common for officials to fly between Anchorage and the Russian far-east port city of Vladivostok.
“She would’ve gone on a trade delegation if trade with Russia was still important with Alaska,” Olcott said. “I’m sure she would’ve gone. The energy development in Russia and the energy development in Alaska have been moving very separately. The way Alaska is developing energy is not in concert with the way Russia is developing energy, with the exception of Arctic assets, but that’s being handled at a federal level. That’s not been a state issue.”
In a final effort to provide details of her experience on Russia, Palin suggested to Couric that Russian leaders fly over Alaskan territory when they travel to the U.S.
“As Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go? It’s Alaska,” Palin said. “It’s just right over the border.”
But when Russian leaders travel to the United States from Moscow, such as when then Prime Minister Vladimir Putin visited the White House in 2005, their flights travel on a westerly path over the Atlantic, thousands of miles from Alaskan airspace.
And then apologize to the lady....because they don't do that in Arkansas.
Yeah she's not in the chain of command at all....
These words, chain of command, I do not think they mean what you think they mean.
Sarah Palin is NOT in the chain of command regarding defending 1 mile of United States air space. Lets see if you can figure out why this is fact.
Your highlighting of those passages just proves you have no idea what a chain of command is Whottt. Here's a hint: Not everyone with access to information is in a chain of command. Still, lets see if you can figure it on your own.
Also, Please note that an air identification zone is NOT the US Airspace. You said they flew into Alaskan airspace. This was blatantly false.
Well let's see...she's Commander in Chief of the Alaskan National Guard and you don't think they have the Governor included in the line of succession in the event of emergency?
Tha'ts a ridiculous notion...and that puts her in the chain of command, even not a normally active.
But generally speaking...she's the CIC, so if you think that's not in the chain of command...I don't know what is.
So what did Clinton do in Arkansas?
Jack ...which make this entire argument a double standard.
Oh and once a national guard unit is on active duty, they are no longer under control of the state. Do you see why?
I'm pretty sure "near Alaskan airspace" does not mean IN Alaskan airspace...
She's absolutely not in the chain of command. You think she could give orders regarding an incursion of Russian aircraft?
You know this do ent called the Cons ution?
IT MAKES THAT ILLEGAL
Wow, so she's got all that experience and she has no idea what she's doing?
She's less intelligent than I thought, in that case.
She's CIC of a state level police force. She's not the CIC of any active US military units.
Once again, THE ING CONS UTION has a bit to say on this matter.
Uh...sorry...but Palin is no Reagan or Clinton...but she is a Bush wanting to be VP.
Yeah but the US military and the Government work by separating the leaders, they always have a line of succession with the potential commanders separated....they don't centralize that sort of thing and keep them all in the same place. THey don't do it with anything...even their information was de-centralized.
The internet is proof of it.
And of course she's in that line of sucession at some point...of course she would be.
She can't talk about that stuff if it's involved in the National Security Plan.
So, what did Regan do in California?
She's not an idiot guys...idiots don't get 85% approval ratings.
You sure are... again, pulling out of your ass...
Its always fun seeing whottt get his ass handed to him and these last couple of days have been quite entertaining.
Weird though, I remember whottt being better at this...
Here's the chain of command.
Pilot>command officer>Norad>President
No where in that chain is there any room for a ing governor or any other state official. I think its hillarious you would think a state official would have any authority over a US active military unit. You obviously have no understanding on the seperation of powers laid out by the do ent that happens to govern all of us.
Jesus Christ go spin the ing MI withdrawl of McCain's campaign. If this is the level of your game tonight you might as well just stop posting now.
Whottt, ONE word answer: Yes or No
Is an American state official able to give an order to an active US military unit?
this should be fun
Watch it, here comes the name calling, followed by the announcement that you made it into his ignore list...
