Obama, Democrats Own Syria Failure

The fact that the United States has been forced to close its embassy in Syria today–for safety reasons, not in protest, let it be noted–is the most tangible proof yet of the failure of Barack Obama’s foreign policy. In 2009, Obama re-opened the embassy as a sign of his departure from the policies of George W. [...]

Santorum Schools Yet Another MSM Journalist on Obama’s Appeasement – This Time, NBC’s David Gregory

Last month, Sen. Rick Santorum schooled CNN’s Candy Crowley on the subject of President Barack Obama’s appeasement of America’s enemies. Today, on NBC’s Meet the Press, it was David Gregory’s turn. Like Crowley, Gregory attempted to “fact-check” Santorum by arguing that it could not possibly be “accurate” or “objective” to describe Obama’s foreign policy as “appeasement.” In particular, [...]

Santorum ‘Fact-Checks’ CNN on Obama’s ‘Appeasement’

This Sunday morning, on CNN’s State of the Union, Candy Crowley attempted to “fact-check” Sen. Rick Santorum for his statement to the Republican Jewish Coalition on Dec. 7 that President Barack Obama had pursued a foreign policy of “appeasement.” Her apparent intent–as with other so-called “fact-checking” efforts–was to attack what has been, and remains, an accurate [...]

The Shalit Deal: Whetting The Arabs’ Appetite

It is incredible what political simpletons Jews are.  They shut their eyes to one of the most elementary rules of life, that you must not “meet halfway” those who do not want to meet you. – Ze’ev (Vladimir) Jabotinsky, “The Iron Wall,” November 4, 1923 Just the other day I wrote: “Beyond the debate over the morality [...]

Iran Sponsors Terror Events In the United States; Imagine That!

It seems to me that as we look across time and U.S. reactions to other serious events that not only got planned and foiled, but also got executed, we could conclude that just about any tin horn dictator with a demo guy will try. Why? What makes them think that they can get away with [...]
