Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin slammed the Obama
administration's Middle-East policy on her Facebook page. She
said a failure to confront Iran now would result in a 'Second
Holocaust' against Israel once the Islamic Republic has nuclear weapons.
"Many, many Americans and our allies know that if Iran acquires nuclear
weapons, the consequences will be catastrophic for our interests in the
Middle East, and we want our government to do everything in its power to
prevent Iran from acquiring nukes," she writes.
"Israel would face the gravest threat since its creation. Iran’s leaders
have repeatedly called for the destruction of Israel and with nuclear
weapons and the means to deliver them, the mullahs would be in a
position to launch a Second Holocaust."
Sarah Palin's timing is bad because the CIA had already interrogated a defector form Iran who is a nuclear physicist and knowledgeable about the Iranian nuclear program.
At the same time he U.S. has backed away from pursuing a number of tough measures
against Iran in order to win support from Russia and China for a new
United Nations Security Council resolution on sanctions, according to
people familiar with the matter.
Rightardia believes this policy change may have resulted after the CIA debriefed an Iranian defector. The defector was a physicist in the Iranian nuclear program. The Obama administration is far more knowledgeable about Iran's nuclear ambitions than a foreign affairs neophyte like Palin.

Daily Beast: 'You Betcha' Palin Goes to Asia
What's better than being able to see Russia from your window? Speaking at the CLSA Investors Forum, apparently.
The Associated Press reports that Sarah Palin's first commercial speaking engagement will take place on Sept 23 in Hong Kong.
The former governor of Alaska, whose lack of foreign-policy experience was criticized during the 2008 elections, will follow in the footsteps of Bill Clinton, Al Gore, and Alan Greenspan, who have spoken at the event, which is hosted by investment group CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets.
A spokesman for the conference said the event presented investors with "a diversity of views" and included "topics that go beyond traditional finance such as geopolitics." The event will be closed to the media, and Palin's speaking fees were not disclosed.
Palin received her first passport in 2007 in order to visit Alaskan National Guard members in Kuwait and Germany.
