ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a “task that is from God.”
In an address last June, the Republican vice presidential candidate also urged ministry students to pray for a plan to build a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in the state, calling it “God’s will.”
Palin asked the students to pray for the troops in Iraq, and noted that her eldest son, Track, was expected to be deployed there.
“Our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God,” she said. “That’s what we have to make sure that we’re praying for, that there is a plan and that plan is God’s plan.”
A number of things have become clear during Rachel Maddow’s time substituting for Keith Olbermann on Countdown, including:
Much of Olbermann’s style of delivery is built into the style his writers have developed.
Maddow should, and almost certainly will, have her own national television show in the near future.
Maddow’s understanding of this new FISA bill is much more sophisticated than Olbermann’s.
I’ve embedded the clip below, wherein Jonathan Turley says he is “astonished” and “obviously disappointed” by Obama’s stance on the bill, and asserts that “the marrow of the Fourth Amendment is coming out of the bone [...] and it’s being done for political convenience; there’s not an ounce of principal, not an ounce of public interest in this legislation.”
As Maddow says, it’s “gut-wrenching” to see this disastrous bill carried into law on the backs of Democrats.
