A few weeks ago, stories started popping up about some power players in Israel wanting to attack Iran’s missile program. “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Ehud Barak are trying to muster a majority in the cabinet in favor of military action against Iran, a senior Israeli official has said. According to the official, [...]

Libya’s a fun thing to watch.  Even as the rebels stormed the Qaddafi compound, Qaddafi himself was still sending out the message to attack the devils and traitors.  This all reminded me of the last days of Saddam Hussein.  More importantly, it reminded me of something else:

Osama Bin Laden lived in peace and completely unfettered there for a decade.  Our helicopter that got shot down going after Bin Laden was given access to the Chinese.  They have terrorists a few hours from Islamabad.  They sometimes like us, they sometimes don’t.  And, they have nukes. We are currently on target to give [...]

Get this straight, then we’ll talk about the rest: U.S. Secretary of State meets with Libyan rebels OK, we have openly sided, once again, with one side in a civil war.  Granted no one seems to like Kadhafi, choosing a side involves not only showing support for one side, but showing opposition to all those [...]

Right as Obama is gearing up for another round of stimulus funding, Germany’s Angela Merkel blindsided him some of the craziest advice Obama’s probably heard since the last Tea Party rally: “It’s urgently necessary for monetary stability that public budgets return to balance,” German Economy Minister Rainer Bruederle said at a press conference Monday, according [...]

Barney Frank came out swinging against the Israeli army’s conflict with the Palestinian activists.  Without the first shred of any evidence whatsoever, he condemned the Israelis, his Jewish faith, and referred to the activists as “innocent”.  Apparently Frank hadn’t seen this: Watch the latest news video at video.foxnews.com The “innocent” activists from California are attacking [...]

No one has ever been stripped of a Nobel Prize, because this is actually specifically forbidden by the organization which administers the Nobel Prizes. According to the Nobel Foundation, “no appeals may be made against the decision of a prize-awarding body with regard to the award of a prize,” and no prizes can be revoked [...]

Sensing a bit hesitation in President Obama’s support, Hamid Karzai promised reforms the world can believe it.  Among those reforms: “We want our Taliban brothers and all others to come back and join with us,” he added. Last I recall, the entire point of going into Afghanistan was to remove those who supported Osama Bin [...]

President Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize.  Although some are scratching their heads over why, I’m not.  It’s quite obvious and the Nobel peeps even said why: “for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” Some were somewhat dubious of his accomplishments: “Frankly to be nominated after he has been in [...]

The last couple of days have pretty well illustrated the Obama/Pelosi administration’s stance on national defense.  Obama promised the voters he’d be firm on national defense, and he is.  In almost simultaneous moves, Obama has expressed concern about Iran developing nuclear weapons: Obama is so concerned about the threat of Iran’s nuclear weapons program he [...]
