| Summary: | Several months before Sarah Palin became a household name as Senator John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential campaign, she was invited to address the 2008 graduating class of commission students at her Pentecostal church in Wasilla, Alaska. Palin used the moment to provide a rather provocative description of the war in Iraq: “Pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders are sending them out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure we're praying for. That there is a plan and that it is God's plan.” Defining the war in Iraq as a “task from God” might sound scary to some Americans, but many others would agree with Palin's assertion. |
