• "We should be in Afghanistan to win, not to set a timetable for withdrawal", Sarah Palin's
words clearly reflect her support of President Obama's decision but at the same time signals her
frustration with the latter's hesitation in adopting a surge strategy in the country.
 
• Palin is positive about winning in Afghanistan by motivating, training and empowering the
Afghan forces to 'build a stable representative state able to defend itself.'
 
• She said that the United States should do everything possible to turn the responsibility
over to the Afghan government so that the people can live there in peace without the interference of
America. This should be the 'ultimate goal' of the US on Afghan soil.
 
• Palin reminds that the September 11 attacks were planned in Afghanistan. Not making the US
power felt in the country will encourage Al Qaeda and the Taliban to impose their cruelty on the
people of Afghanistan and Pakistan.
 
• America needs to be fully prepared to win, according to Palin. She says that the whole
world is watching the US, ready to point a finger if America is not able to protect their interests
in Afghanistan.
 
• Palin was deeply disturbed by Obama's alleged comment that troops in Afghanistan were "air
raiding villages and killing civilians."
