Sarah the Negotiator


Sarah Marvel

A Negotiator Without Preconditions
James P. Lucier, Sr. is a former Staff Director of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Here's his take on Governor Palin.
Would you trust Sarah Palin to negotiate with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without preconditions?

Well, why not?

Palin came into the governor's office and found a mess on her desk. The oil deal struck by defeated Republican governor Frank Murkowski wasn't working. Through creative accounting by big oil and ambiguous reporting standards, the Murkowski plan just wasn't giving the State of Alaska the pay-off that was expected. So the former mayor of Wasilla (population 9,000, as the MSM always points out) demanded that the agreement be renegotiated and the terms be nailed down. They laughed when she sat down to negotiate, but in the end she had a new deal that delivered 50 percent of the oil revenues to the Alaska Permanent Fund, and enabled Palin to send a check for $1,200 to every qualified Alaskan citizen.

Check out this gem. Guess who voted against the Alaskan Oil Pipeline in 1973! Yep, Plugs was on the wrong end of an 80-5 vote. So much for supporting American energy independence.
