Sarah Palin has given President Obama's Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, in which he cited "just war" reasoning for U.S. involvement in Afghanistan and elsewhere, a positive review.
"I liked what he said," Palin told USA Today. "I talked too in my book about the fallen nature of man and why war is necessary at times."
She talked about how having her 20-year-old son, Track, fighting in Iraq affects her view of the current war. "I'm on my knees more than ever praying for his safety along with all of his fellow troops," Palin said. "Of course, war is the last thing any American, I believe, wants to have to engage in, but it's necessary. We have to stop these terrorists over there."
Palin also praised former president George W. Bush, and suggested Obama might have a lot to learn from him. "By the way, I'd like to see President Obama follow more closely in the footsteps of George Bush and his passion for keeping the homeland safe."
