On Obama’s Watch

On February 5th, President Obama provided his own Super Sunday show.  In some respects, it was almost as bizarre as Madonna’s performance at half time.

Lack of Info on Hezbollah’s Militant Wing Leaves U.S. Unprepared for Contingencies with Iran

Hezbollah’s Recent Terror Plot: Why Target Thailand?

Thailand recently intercepted a Hezbollah-linked terror plot. Many terror experts continue scratching their heads wondering why Hezbollah would have an interest in Thailand.

These Brotherhood members, like Ayman al-Zawahiri, tapped into their own personal networks which later socially conditioned and recruited a mass movement of followers.

Enforcing Existing Sanctions on the Central Bank of Iran

To further increase Tehran’s level of financial pain, a great number of Congressional and advocacy groups have repeatedly called on the White House to blacklist the Central Bank of Iran (CBI).

Reform Judaism’s Leadership Demonstrates Its Support For Obama’s Anti-Israel Policy

This week President Obama took his “Hey I really don’t hate Israel” tour to the 71st General Assembly of the Union for Reform Judaism.
