Comments on: Alaska National Guard Hit "Crisis Level"

Personnel Shortages Make Aviation Unit In Palin's Home State Most Poorly Staffed In Nation

We can tell who CBS is for. Fox News is really about the only true non biased news agency anymore. What about Barak? What has Obama done for any military? What has he done for the IL Guard or the US military? Just wondering what he has done to become the next Commander-in-Chief? Just some questions I would like to see answered???

I even wrote to McSame, begging him to run, when given Kerry/Edwards as an alternative to Bush/Cheney. NO MORE. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I won''''t be fooled again. McSame''''s choice of Palin to be a heartbeat away from the toughest, most critical job in the world is the final nail in a coffin I could see being constructed long ago. In light of McSame''''s impulsive, reckless, and dangerous decision to pick Palin as his running mate, I''''m now convinced beyond any doubt that Sen. Barack Obama must be the choice to lead my country. I simply can''''t stand by and watch the country I love being destroyed by Bush/Cheney and now McSame/Palin. I think a majority of my fellow citizens will agree with me as will be shown on Nov. 4, 2008. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

I agree with a some of what you say, but Obama does not have any experience either. And he is way over the 90% mark to being a Socialist. Wants to raise taxes on everything. Wants to have total GUN CONTROL.
So, the American people are between a Rock and a Hard Place when trying to decide who to vote for in November.

This article, though discussing a disgusting subject, is right on target - John McSame has destroyed himself by abandoning every principle that bought him the chance to be President. I was one of those Democrats, who was suckered by McSame into believing that he might be what he said he was - a Maverick willing to break with the G.O.P. whenever it was wrong, which was on about every issue. I even wrote to McSame, begging him to run, when given Kerry/Edwards as an alternative to Bush/Cheney. NO MORE. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. I won''t be fooled again. McSame''s choice of Palin to be a heartbeat away from the toughest, most critical job in the world is the final nail in a coffin I could see being constructed long ago. In light of McSame''s impulsive, reckless, and dangerous decision to pick Palin as his running mate, I''m now convinced beyond any doubt that Sen. Barack Obama must be the choice to lead my country. I simply can''t stand by and watch the country I love being destroyed by Bush/Cheney and now McSame/Palin. I think a majority of my fellow citizens will agree with me as will be shown on Nov. 4, 2008. Obama/Biden 2008!!!

Oh come on, surely this is all Bill Clinton''s fault isn''t it? ;)

Governor Pallin is showing her "strengths" as a "Commander in Chief" by allowing the Alaskan guard to crumble. To consider her a viable choice in the absence of the President is not only scary, but totally irresponsible.

When are you going to do a story on the Community Organizer''s community? I bet that neighborhood has no issues or problems... yeah right. It''s so obvious who CBS is for. What ever happened to objective reporting, and not taking sides? You people asked more questions about this woman in the first 3-days after she was picked than you asked the "chosen one" in 19 months.

Seems the vast majority of this article has nothing at all to do with Palin.

[jmurrieta1]

"Just six months ago, Air Force Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell, the Alaska Guard''s top officer, warned in an internal memo that "missions are at risk." The lack of qualified airmen, Campbell said, "has reached a crisis level."


This was under Palin''s control. Not a stunning recommendation for being a John McCain heartbeat away from the Presidency.

But the Repuglican presidential candidate hasn''t changed. They''ve put up someone who is a better speaker than McCain (not saying much) to distract from the wooden, squeaky, McClone.

The Republicans are running away from their OWN RECORD! It is the Republicans we are CHANGING AWAY FROM!

And Mr. Senate Insider John McClone, beloved of George Bush and Dik Cheney, isn''t going to bring about change. He''s going to continue the disastrous policies of the Bushit/Cheney regime.

For real change--Barack Obama ''08!

Typical of Republican military leadership, talk hard about supporting the troops then neglect them to the point that missions are comprimised.

This was one of George W Bush''s biggest blunders. Even John McCain called him on it many times over troop levels in Iraq. Looks like Palin is in the same camp.
