Call her General Palin

Weird new talking point from the McCain campaign. They’re now saying that Sarah Palin, or perhaps we should now be calling her General Palin, is "Commander in Chief" of the Alaska National Guard that is fighting in Iraq. I’m sure the governor is the de jure chief of the state’s national guard, but to imply that she’s somehow the equivalent of the Commander in Chief of the US military, directing Alaska’s forces in the fight against Al Qaeda, running through war plans and launching rocket attacks, is just laughable. Don’t take it from me. Take it from the general who runs the Alaska National Guard:
Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard… said he and Palin play no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National Guard. The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.
Oops.
This interview, below, is simply astounding. CNN’s Campbell Brown just obliterates McCain spokesman Tucker Bounds who simply refuses to answer, is unable to answer, the simple question as to what foreign policy experience Palin has. He couldn’t name one decision she made as commander in chief of the Alaska National Guard. Watch the video below or via this link.
