Top Story — The Incredible Shrinking Stature of John McCain
“One can’t doubt that the American objective in Iraq has failed. .. Our mission has failed…” – William F. Buckley “You’re on the wrong side of it, and your refusal to answer whether you were right or wrong on it is going to have an impact on my judgment on whether to vote for your [...]
Lindsey Graham Needs an Intervention
“I haven’t forgotten about Benghazi. Hillary Clinton got away with murder, in my view.” – Senator Lindsey Graham THE SOUTH Carolina senator has Benghazi pneumonia and it’s tilting into a cancer. That the insipid little man can accuse Secretary Clinton of murder in public goes down in the annals of Clinton hatred that proves these [...]
Drudge Takes Biden’s Bait, Gun Nuts Follow
“The Founding Fathers never envisioned Executive Orders being used to restrict our Constitutional rights. We live in a republic, not a dictatorship.” – Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-SC) IT’S REALLY amazing that the Obama administration walked right into the gun nuts’ most primal fear. “The president is going to act. There are executive orders, there’s executive [...]
Richard M. Nixon Should Have Been Impeached [Videos]
“I’m saying that when the President does it, it’s not illegal.” – Richard M. Nixon MARKING THE 100th anniversary of Richard M. Nixon’s birth, the legacy he leaves behind was seen in full glory through President George W. Bush’s unitary executive notion. It was shepherded by Vice President Dick Cheney, a man who never got [...]
Right Smears John Brennan as “Arabist,” Ignores Purge of “Arabist” James Baker Wing
IF YOU want to start dissecting what’s happened to the sane branch of the Republican Party, it dates back to Georg H.W. Bush and James Baker, a time when realism in foreign policy took over for Ronald Reagan’s ramshackle militarism that led to Iran-Contra and near impeachment. The big story in the Republican Party over [...]
News Desk: Retired Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf Passes
THE REPORT from the AP: Schwarzkopf was named commander in chief of U.S. Central Command at Tampa’s MacDill Air Force Base in 1988, overseeing the headquarters for U.S. military and security concerns in nearly two dozen countries stretching across the Middle East to Afghanistan and the rest of central Asia, plus Pakistan. When Saddam invaded [...]
Bill Kristol is Leading Chuck Hagel Swiftboating, Launches Cable Ad Campaign [Video]
What I will say is this: Kristol is offensive, wrong, and this kind of swiftboating must stop, now. I know Chuck Hagel, and consider him a friend. I’m also Jewish. I know who Senator Hagel is, and what he stands for. I also know anti-Semitism when I see it, and for William Kristol to use [...]
Weekly Standard Plays Lap Dog to Iranian Propaganda Press and AIPAC
WHY WOULD the Weekly Standard choose to parrot Iran’s propaganda news organization by repeating their outlandish claims about former Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, President Obama’s likely pick for Secretary of Defense, after Leon Panetta? It’s not easy trumpeting Iranian propaganda and AIPAC, while hitting Obama and a leading former Republican senator, all in the same [...]
John Kerry is a Better Choice for State Than Susan Rice
The problem with making Susan Rice secretary of state isn’t Benghazi. It’s war. Rice, like her “mentor,” former Secretary of State Madeline Albright, and the current secretary, Hillary Clinton, has supported just about every proposed U.S. military intervention over the two decades. The president should nominate someone that occasionally opposes a war. [...] Rice is [...]
Petraeus and the Media He Manipulated
THE STORIES from national security writers now pouring forth aren’t half of what we should be reading. However, considering people are still lauding Colin Powell after his spectacle at the United Nations selling the Iraq war, with President Obama having unloaded a campaign ad on his behalf, nothing surprises me anymore. The whole sorry affair [...]
News Desk: President Obama, Campaigning in Ohio, Speaking Some Truths Worth Remembering [Video]
SANDY PUNCHED the east coast in the gut, with 22 dead being reported in Staten Island so far, New Jersey and New York getting the worst of it, while West Virginia and other areas got pummeled, too. No one escaped nor’easter Sandy if she passed through where you live. Now, it’s the last weekend after [...]
Bush Architect of Katrina Response Disaster Criticizes Obama for Acting Too Quickly on Sandy
NO, THIS isn’t a headline from The Onion. It’s George W. Bush’s former FEMA Director Michael “Heck of a Job” Brownie reminding American voters what happens when a Republican sits in the Oval Office and a catastrophe strikes. Barack Obama has completely ignored climate change, but let’s not pretend that Mitt Romney isn’t being bankrolled [...]
For Anyone Who Actually Cares About the Colin Powell Endorsement
IT’S HARD to imagine why this endorsement matters, but it does to some. The Obama campaign is sending it out, so it obviously does to them. It’s one thing to respect Gen. Powell’s service to our country. However, his political judgment long ago proved weak, when he became a foot soldier for George W. Bush [...]
Wounded Vet: “The Mitt Romney I Know Cares Deeply About People Who Are Struggling”
IT’S ONE of the unifying issues in politics. The soldier whose life is blown apart by war that civilians vote to wage. How could it not be turned into a political opportunity by a man struggling to prove he’s got a heart? The biggest casualty of this election is that we never had a real [...]
