He's right, Sarah Palin is quite ignorant
BTW: I'm opposed to waging war on Iran because I think they'd put up a hell of a fight and we'd need a draft, and I don't want to serve. I love America a lot, but not enough to actually pick up a gun and risk getting my head blown off to defend it.
Either that or we'd need a lot of PMC's and I don't like them either and feel they are dangerous, and completely circumvent international law and are used deliberately as such.

Chris Matthews is not liberal, he just sucks up to whoever has political power. If that’s Obama, then he sucks up to Obama, when it was Bush, he sucked up to Bush. He is betting that Palin will go nowhere politically, which is a pretty good bet IMO.

I look on it more as insight to the marketing aspect of a political candidate. As the pallbearers said, sometimes it's better if a candidate has no history or past to haunt him.
Sara Palin came out of left field. They had the option of bringing her up they way they wanted, groom her as needed, and (hopefully) package the perfect candidate, just like Chauncey Gardner.
No particular political party implied. Not even Palin in particular. It works with anyone.

That depends very much on what sort of war you want to fight against Iran. If you want to march on Tehran and conquer it, yeah, that would take a LOT of troops. If you want to pummel it from above for a few days to months to degrade their capabilities, stopping when we're satisfied, then you don't need that many troops and you definitely don't need a draft. The generic phrase "war with Iran" doesn't indicate what kind of war we're talking about, but I'm pretty sure only the latter is under much consideration, not the former.
You love living in America, you mean -- that is, as long as you're assured that other people will pick up a gun and risk getting their head blown off to defend it, or rather, to defend you.
There's quite a bit to love in that state of affairs. All of America's benefits, none of the risks. Yes, you might have old veterans like myself wondering how anybody can so openly admit to being a freeloading coward and still look himself in the mirror. But hey, I'm older than you, and apparently autre temps, autre mores.
At least you admit that those who do serve do so out of love of country, and not because they're robotic brainwashed fascists, or something. That, with all seriousness, is a significant point. At least you aren't trying to turn cowardice and freeloading into a positive virtue.
