Video: Sarah Palin talks about Libya, Israel and healthcare

Sarah Palin was on Greta van Sustern's On the Record on Fox News on Wednesday night, and given my direct interest in two of the three topics, I wanted to share the segment with you.

Let's go to the videotape.

I like that: Be in it to win it, but if we're in doubt get out.

Heh.

UPDATE 11:54 AM

I finally got to finish watching this video. It's about 9 minutes of Libya and 6 of Israel - they never got to health care.

Two further comments:

1. I don't understand why the media thinks they can get away with treating Palin as an intellectual lightweight. I thought her grasp of the issues was excellent.

2. I thought she was spot-on regarding both Libya and Israel. I was impressed with how articulate an advocate for us she is.

Disturbing and ominous?

Greta van Sustern posts a tweet by putative Egyptian opposition leader Mohamed ElBaradei, which she describes as disturbing and ominous.

"Egypt will explode. Army must save the country now."

Disturbing and ominous? Well, yes. But why? Because it shows how little ElBaradei understands of what he considers his own country. ElBaradei is looking for the army to put him in charge. Hell will freeze over before that happens.

What it shows is how weak ElBaradei really is. It provides evidence that putting ElBaradei in charge would in a short time devolve into putting the Muslim Brotherhood in charge.

Greta van Sustern interviews three Egyptian protesters

Here's a fascinating interview that Fox News' Greta van Sustern conducted via Skype with three Egyptian protesters.

Let's go to the videotape.

I don't know about the rest of you but I was kind of surprised about the extent to which they seemed willing to accept putting Omar Suleiman in charge - at least temporarily.

Homeland Security walking back Jewish claim on Giffords

You will recall that I posted yesterday that the attempt on Representative Gabrielle Giffords' life was because she is Jewish. That post was based on a memo from the Department of Homeland Security that was posted by Fox News' Greta van Sustern on her blog. Now, the Department of Homeland Security is walking back that memo.

Fox News's report yesterday initially claimed that a DHS memo had outlined the possible connection, and defined American Renaissance as a "pro-white racist organization" that Jared Loughner "mentioned in some of his internet postings." Fox later walked back the report a bit, sourcing the claim to "a law enforcement memo based on information provided by DHS."

The Fox report caused a splash, with some news orgs reporting that anonymous officials had confirmed such possible ties. Some conservatives railed at DHS for supposedly trying to tie the shooter to the right for political reasons, and others disputed the suggestion that this displayed the shooter's ideological leanings.

But DHS has not officially provided any such information to any law enforcement officials, the DHS official says.

"We have not established any such possible link," the official says.

The official cautions it's conceivable that a law enforcement official got unofficial info from a DHS official somewhere along the lines of what Fox reported. But he emphasizes that DHS has not even concluded in any official way that even the possibility of such ties exists. The official adds that it wouldn't be DHS's place to reach any such conclusion in the first place, since the FBI is leading the investigation.

Spokespeople for Fox didn't immediately return an email for comment. For now, however, it looks like this could further complicate efforts to pin down the shooter's beliefs.

Let's go to the videotape.

Yes, that was Gilda Radner as Roseann Rosannadanna.

Haiti's cholera getting worse and no one cares

Some 1,900 Haitians have died of cholera in the current outbreak in Haiti and 84,000 more people are infected reports Greta van Sustern.

The numbers of cholera victims in Haiti is staggering ! Right now the estimates exceed 1,900 deaths and 84,000 + are infected. I will spare you the details sent to me in an email a few hours ago...but this is a crisis...a life and death crisis.

After the earthquake last January, about 11 billion from citizens around the world was pledged to help rebuild Haiti and just save lives. Most of that money has not been delivered to Haiti. Haitians living in unsanitary camps has fueled the spreading of the cholera epidemic.

Presidents Clinton and Bush 43 were appointed by President Obama to help Haiti. I don't know what the two former Presidents are doing, but right now it is getting worse.

Reverend Franklin Graham and Samaritan's Purse have volunteers and clinics set up in Haiti to help the cholera victims ...but as you might imagine, more help is greatly needed. Yes, there are many organizations with volunteers but the magnitude of the crisis is so horrendous that there just is not enough help there. Untreated cholera will kill you.

Three weeks ago, the United Nations asked for $164 million to fight the cholera epidemic, which at that point had killed 'only' 720 people. It was estimated at the time that the epidemic could eventually kill 200,000 people.

But instead, the Obama administration chose to donate $150 million to pay the 'salaries' of 'Palestinian Authority' employees in Gaza. Yes, I put 'salaries' in scare quotes because these people are paid to stay home and do nothing.
