on a task that is from god are we fighting a holy war palin you know i dont know if that was my exact quote gibson exact words palin but the reference there is a repeat of abraham lincolns words when he said first he suggested never presume to know what gods will is and i would never presume to know gods will or to speak gods words but what abraham lincoln had said and thats a repeat in my comments was let us not pray that god is on our side in a war or any other time but let us pray that we are on gods side thats what that comment was all about charlie and i do believe though that this war against extreme islamic terrorists is the right thing its an unfortunate thing because war is hell and i hate war and charlie today is the day that i send my first born my son my teenage son overseas with his stryker brigade 4000 other wonderful american men and women to fight for our country for democracy for our freedoms charlie those are freedoms that too many of us just take for granted i hate war and i want to see war ended we end war when we see victory and we do see victory in sight in iraq gibson i take your point about lincolns words but you went on and said there is a plan and it is gods plan palin i believe that there is a plan for this world and that plan for this world is for good i believe that there is great hope and great potential for every country to be able to live and be protected with inalienable rights that i believe are godgiven charlie and i believe that those are the rights to life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness that in my world view is a grand the grand plan gibson but then are you sending your son on a task that is from god palin i dont know if the task is from god charlie what i know is that my son has made a decision i am so proud of his independent and strong decision he has made what he decided to do and serving for the right reasons and serving something greater than himself and not choosing a real easy path where he could be more comfortable and certainly safer what my son and every other american man and woman serving in uniform today has decided to do voluntarily is to serve something greater than self to do all that they can in where they are in life today to protect america and i ask charlie am i doing the same are you are all americans are all elected officials doing the same are we on par with what these young men and women are ready to do for us to protect our country gibson let me turn to iran
