Warmonger

By Sniffles

We cats have just heard via a breaking news flash from ABC News that in her interview with Charlie "Muffin Face" Gibson today, John McCain's running mate said that war with Russia "may be necessary."

Now, we won't get into the outrageous gall of a person who wants the second-most important job in the world but only makes herself available to one journalist, muffin-faced or not. For the moment, as cats will be, we're just curious:

Really, Governor? War with Russia? With what army? The Alaska National Guard?

The last we checked, our military was stretched to the breaking point, thanks to George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq. Between taking our eye off the Osama bin Laden eight-ball, and battling a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan, the army is extending tours of duty, implementing "stop-loss" and lowering its standards for induction.

So.... if McCain-Palin want to go to war with Russia, does that mean they'll bring back the draft?

Will Muffin Face ask her that? We doubt it. But we're asking.
