Building on a speech that she gave at "Freedom Fest" in Norfolk, Virginia last week, Sarah Palin expressed a hawkish doctrine outlining her sharp disagreement with the Obama Administration on nine key areas of foreign policy.
Palin calls for expanding the nation's naval fleet, eliminating the current withdrawal timetable in Afghanistan, reinforcing unconditional ties with Israel, taking a stronger stance on human rights in countries like Iran and China (while stepping back from diplomacy with "some of the world's worst regimes"), as well as embracing "American exceptionalism" and America's position as "the dominant military superpower."
