Well, it looks to me like she was misquoted here, but to say there isn't anything else on her -- how about membership in a secessionist party, failure to do anything about a city regulation charging rape victims for the cost of forensics, lack of significant political experience, and extremist religious-right political views? I'd say there's plenty, and no need to scrape the bottom of the barrel just yet.

As for this business about our soldiers being on a holy war, what she actually said was that she prays our soldiers are on a mission from God, not that she thinks they are. That's not quite as bad.

It's close, though. America is not a theocracy, and our soldiers shouldn't be on any divine missions. Their job is to protect the nation, not to destroy the infidel or enforce the will of God. Praying and so by implication desiring that they be on a divine mission, is only slightly less disturbing than believing that in fact they are.
