What did Palin say when Russia claimed Alaskan territory a year ago?! Nothing????

Anchorage Daily News, July 16, 2007

"Russia reaching our way. President Vladimir Putin, looking to restore his nation’s greatness and establish an "energy empire," has his eye on parts of the Bering Sea and the North Pole, according to a story from Time. The story reports Moscow wants to take control over an 18,000-square-mile piece of the sea between Alaska and Russian Chukotka."

* Did Palin make a strong statement decrying the claim as ridiculous?
* Did she sound a conciliatory note that surely some agreement can be reached?
* Did she say nothing at all?

A Time article also says :

"The North Pole isn't the only prize in the eyes of the resurgent Russian empire — Moscow is also looking to restore control over a 47,000 sq. km (18,000 sq. mile) piece of the Bering Sea separating Alaska from Russian Chukotka. The territory was ceded to the U.S. in 1990 under the U.S.-Soviet Maritime Boundary Agreement signed by Secretary of State James Baker and Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze. "

What was Palin doing at that time? Making mooseburgers? Conceiving yet another child?? Giving her daughter abstinence-only education???
