Sarah Palin is adamantly opposing any U.S. military intervention in Syria, suggesting the world “let Allah sort it out.”
The former governor of Alaska mocked Pres. Barack Obama for receiving the Nobel Peace Prize, but not being able to devise a clear strategy when it comes to crucial foreign policy issues.
Palin justified her non-interventionalist opinion on her Facebook this weekend—“We didn’t intervene when over 100,000 Syrians were tragically slaughtered by various means, but we’ll now intervene to avenge the tragic deaths of over 1,000 Syrians killed by chemical weapons, though according to the White House we’re not actually planning to take out the chemical weapons because doing so would require ‘too much of a commitment.’”
Palin also urged Pres. Obama not to act unilaterally without Congress’ consent. “And where’s the legal consent of the people’s representatives?” Palin asked.
“Our allies in Britain have already spoken. They just said no. The American people overwhelmingly agree, and the wisdom of the people must be heeded,” she said.
Like many Americans, Palin’s primary concern with attacking Syria is the “uncertain[ty] of the outcome.”
Do you agree with Sarah Palin on Syria?
