Palin also met with ABC's Charley Gibson and said the U.S. should go to war with Russia if Russia attacks any NATO country.

We are not making this stuff up.

And if Saddam EVER had any WMD they came from the U.S. Remember the pic of Donald Rumsfeld shaking Saddam's hand when we were good friends with Iraq when they were fighting Iran.
