GOV. PALIN: Nuclear weaponry, of course,
would be the be-all,
end-all of just too many people and too many
parts of our planet.
So those dangerous regimes, again, cannot be
allowed to acquire
nuclear weapons, period.
Our nuclear weaponry here in the U.S. is used
as a deterrent, and
that's a safe, stable way to use nuclear
weaponry. But for those
countries -- North Korea also under Kim Jong
Il -- we have got to make
sure that we're putting the economic
sanctions on these countries and
that we have friends and allies supporting us
in this to make sure
that leaders like Kim Jong Il and Ahmadinejad
are not allowed to
acquire, to proliferate or to use those
nuclear weapons. It is that
important.
Can we talk about Afghanistan real quick
also, though?
MS. IFILL: Certainly.
GOV. PALIN: Okay. I'd like to just really
quickly mention there
too, that when you look back and you say that
the Bush
administration's policy on Afghanistan
perhaps would be the same as
McCain -- and that's not accurate. The surge
principles, not the
exact strategy, but the surge principles that
have worked in Iraq need
to be implemented in Afghanistan also. And
that perhaps would be a
difference with the Bush administration.
Now, Barack Obama had said that all we're
doing in Afghanistan is
air raiding villages and killing civilians.
And such a reckless,
reckless comment, an untrue comment, again,
hurts our cause. That's
not what we're doing there. We're fighting
terrorists and we're
securing democracy, and we're building
schools for children there so
that there is opportunity in that country
also. There

| HUNTED LIKE ANIMALS - Hmong Attacked With Chemical Weapons |
 |
HUNTED LIKE ANIMALS © 2007, made by award
winning filmmaker Rebecca
Sommer.http://www.rebeccasommer.org/
The ethnic Hmong Lao refugees who fled from
Laos to Thailand explain what the military
inside of Laos did to them, while they were
running and hiding, half starved, from the
attacks by the soldiers. Some footage in the
75 minute-long educational documentary
"Hunted Like Animals" was filmed by the
Hmong-in-hiding themselves- in the
mountainous conflict areas of Laos. (Cameras
were smuggled in, and tapes out of the
conflict area by Fact Finding Commission.)
Thousands of Hmong Lao fled from Laos to
Thailand - starting 2004- to escape
increasing military attacks inside of Laos,
and settled in Thailand's Ban Huay Nam Khao
Refugee Camp.
Over 1300 DVD of HUNTED LIKE ANIMALS were
disseminated to governments, UN system and
NGOs. Even so diplomats and UN officials has
no access to the people-in-hiding inside of
Laos, or to the refugees in Thailand's
refugee camp - HUNTED LIKE ANIMALS brings the
voices of the desperate Hmong Lao directly to
them. The refugees want the world to know
what they have endured, and speak on behalf
of many thousands of Hmong left behind --
who are still trapped inside of remote
mountainous jungle areas, chased, attacked,
tortured, mutilated, killed, starving -- AT
THIS VERY MOMENT !!!!!
