Get this: CNN put out a list of “falling from grace in 2008″ and put Governor Palin on the list with (get ready!!) this group of men…
Despite Franken’s career as a comedian, his win is not funny. More important, it’s not final.
Bill Richardson’s withdrawal as commerce nominee is billed as a stumble for Obama that will leave him in a lurch. It’s not, and it won’t. Obama just needs to look in better places for good private-sector prospects.
It would be more accurate to say that the Left uses the Net better. As the late election clearly revealed, they have yet to be matched in their online organizational and fundraising capabilities.
Two years ago, a controversial military manual rewrote U.S. strategy in Iraq. Now, the doctrine’s simple, powerful—even radical—tenets must be applied to the far different and neglected conflict in Afghanistan. Plus, David Petraeus talks to FP about how to win a losing war.
I had intended to show Aew a bit of my country. But it’s taking a little while for her to get over her discomfort at being in America. She was treated better in China. So was I.
The quantity of commentary claiming that Israel cannot possibly achieve any kind of successful outcome in Gaza is already approaching presurge levels of Iraq defeatism.
Why Israel’s campaign against Hamas may succeed.
There comes a point when violence is clearly the only answer. Peace most often throughout history is achieved through the application of relentless and superior firepower. Now is such a time for Israel.
“Israel has, in effect, launched the war on the Iranian empire that President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, in particular, can only have contemplated.”
If Israeli Air Force pilots were trying to kill civilians—if they were the war criminals they’re accused of being all over the world—they’d kill a lot more than 0.8 people per air strike.
Nowhere on earth do terrorists get so much help from the Free World.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is not a peace process; it’s a war.
The initial push into Gaza met relatively light resistance.
In which every dubious ruling seems to help Al Franken.
It looks as if Barack Obama and his transition team know how badly Bill Richardson’s resignation reflects on them.
It makes for a strange college campus: Cement blast walls, helicopters roaring overhead, packs of wild dogs howling, the risk of mortar and rocket attacks.
Congress is ready to ram through a half-baked stimulus package costing as much as $1 trillion. But if it’s stimulus we need, why not make it effective stimulus — tax cuts, say, instead of wasteful spending?
Bolster its risk-assessment and enforcement staff.
Gaza would be returned to Egyptian control and the West Bank would revert to Jordanian sovereignty.
Israeli ground troops have gone into Gaza. But can they rip out Hamas before international Israel-haters save the terror machine?
A modern democracy can’t be as ruthless in counterinsurgency as Russia or Algeria.
The war in Gaza is the first chapter of a new era in the Middle East. The Arab-Israeli conflict is far from the region’s dominant dispute. The Arab-Islamist conflict now overwhelms it - by a large margin.
Israeli attacks must not stop until Iran’s proxy, Hamas, is defeated.
The hidden agenda in this crisis is Tehran’s manipulation of its terror proxies to prevent Israel from attacking Iran’s atomic weapons program.
