By John McCain’s defense of his own credentials and experience in the Republican presidential debates, one can’t help but wonder how he thinks that Sarah Palin would be ready to step into his shoes should something happen to him.
John McCain said during the Republican debates:
I have had a strong and long relationship on national security.
I have been involved in every national crisis that this nation has faced since Beirut.
I understand the issues.
I understand and appreciate the enormity of the challenge we face from radical Islamic extremism.
I am prepared.
I am prepared and need no on-the-job training.
I wasn’t a mayor for a short period of time. I wasn’t I governor for a short period of time.
Thanks to the new foreign policy blog, Undiplomatic for bringing this to our attention.
