For those of you who still don't think Palin is qualified

49th Missile Defense Battalion (GMD)
The 49th Missile Defense Battalion (GMD) was activated on January 22, 2004 at Fort Greely. The battalion will provide operational control and security over ground-based interceptors located in Alaska to protect the nation from limited ballistic missile attacks. Alaska National Guard Soldiers will man the battalion as part of their homeland defense mission.
This is the first unit of its kind.
The battalion is part of the 100th Missile Defense Brigade (Ground-based Midcourse Defense) headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colo. The battalion, which at full-authorized strength will number 110 soldiers, will provide operational control and security over ground-based interceptors located in Alaska.
Alaska National Guard soldiers will man the battalion as part of the homeland defense mission.
Here is the result of a Google search on “the Governor of Alaska”:

The Governor of Alaska is the head of the executive branch of Alaska's government and the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces. The governor has a duty to enforce state laws, and the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Alaska Legislature,[1] to convene the legislature, and to grant pardons, except in cases of impeachment.[2]

Based on the above, I’d say that the information seems pretty credible.

Compare this to Biden blurting out what he learned in his first briefing and Obama who wouldn't qualify for a basic security clearance because of his associations
