Chris Matthews is Wrong
Posted by Patrick Barry

Chris Matthews is completely wrong.  On MSNBC tonight he said that John McCain was right to cite Russia's closeness to the tip of Alaska as having given Sarah Palin national security expertise.  He falsely argued that Palin, as part of her responsibility as chief of Alaska's National Guard, is briefed regularly on foreign policy matters pertaining to Russia by members of the armed forces, owing to the country's close proximity to the Yukon state.  This is wrong. 

But, in an interview with The Associated Press on Sunday, he said he and Palin play no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National Guard. The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.

So John McCain claims that Russia's proximity to Alaska has given Sarah Palin national security credentials, and Chris Matthews not only supports this utterly baseless claim, but legitimizes it using a totally false assertion.

If they split 3 ways or 4 ways, the sunnis and the kurds could often be the Sohbet swing votes in the politics. If they felt they had political clout out of proportion to their numbers, they could settle in Sohbet and do politics and not feel oppressed.

religious sect may degenerate into a political faction,' wrote James Madison, but the new American nation would nevertheless be protected against the ungovernable combination of religious fervor and political power as long as the Constitution prohibited the federal government from establishing any particular creed as preeminent.
