Real Leadership: Sarah Palin Calls on NATO to Save Libyan People - NATO Responds

But wait, it gets better. So much better:

Yesterday, Sarah Palin called on NATO to enforce the no-fly zone over Libya.

From her Facebook Page, via FOX Nation:

It's a little perplexing looking at the White House today. There was a statement on the horrible earthquake in New Zealand, and certainly our hearts go out to all those affected by this horrible natural disaster. But nothing on the slaughter in Libya? The protests in many places in the Middle East affect regimes that have cooperated with the U.S. on issues from peace with Israel, fighting al Qaeda, hosting our military forces, or cooperating against Iran's nuclear ambitions. Gaddafi's Libya is different. For four decades, this tyrant has held power. Gaddafi was Osama before Osama hit the scene. He ordered the bombing of a disco in Germany to kill Americans. When he paid the price for that - after President Reagan rightly ordered retaliation - he directed his agents to blow up Pan Am Flight 103. They did, and more than 250 innocent people died. Gaddafi tried to come in from the cold in 2003 - scared by the demonstration effect of Iraq. But we should have no illusions. Gaddafi is a brutal killer and Libya - not to mention the world - would be better off if he were out of power. Now is the time to speak out. Speak out for the long-suffering Libyan people. Speak out for the victims of Gaddafi's terror. NATO and our allies should look at establishing a no-fly zone so Libyan air forces cannot continue slaughtering the Libyan people. We should not be afraid of freedom, especially when it comes to people suffering under a brutal enemy of America.

Today, NATO officials responded.

YNet News reported:

NATO forces may attack forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi if the Libyan air force continues to bomb anti-government protesters, the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi reported, citing a European official claiming the US had threatened to intervene in the violence.

Oh.... And, of course, Sarah Palin isn't even in office.

Sarah Palin setting NATO policy via Facebook. This is the world Jim Hoft chooses to inhabit.

In the real world, according to NATO themselves and not secondhand sources, NATO isn't getting involved in Libya, no matter how many times Palin Superpokes them:

NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says the Western military alliance will not intervene in the Libyan conflict.

Fogh Rasmussen said Thursday the alliance has received no such requests and that in any case any intervention must be based on a United Nations mandate. He made the comments in Kiev where he was on an official visit meeting with Ukrainian officials.
