HILEL HALKIN: ISRAEL’S CIVILIAN-MILITARY DIVIDE A REVIEW

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10000872396390443819404577635343206260340.html Have you ever wondered why Iran, after halting (according to Western intelligence reports) its nuclear weapons program in 2003, resumed it (according to more such reports) by 2005? Patrick Tyler, a former New York Times foreign correspondent, thinks he knows. It wasn’t because the initial shock of the American invasion of Iraq had worn […]

MY SAY: WITH APOLOGIES TO ANITA BAKER AND BOBBY VINTON OBAMA/CLINTON LYRICS

THE NEW OBAMA/CLINTON SONG

I apologize (believe me I do) Oh believe me I do.
I apologize (honest and true) Oh honest and true.
Because I know I was wrong
And so I sing you this song.
And I’m tryna get through to make it up to you yeah.

AND HILLARY’S SONG:

I Apologize lyrics

(From the bottom of my heart, dear,
I apologize)

If I caused you pain, I know I’m to blame
Must have been insane, believe me
From the bottom of my heart, dear,
I apologize

I realize I’ve been unfair to you
Please let me make amends
Don’t say that you forgot the love we knew
After all, we were more than friends

If I made you blue, I’ve had heartaches too
Now I beg of you, forgive me
From the bottom of my heart, dear,
I apologize
(Forgive me)

DAVID SOLWAY: THE END OF OBAMERICA

http://pjmedia.com/blog/the-end-of-obamerica/?print=1 At this moment I’m checking out the sites and dailies for the latest news — the fruits of the Arab Spring which, in an article [1] at PJ Media for April 27, 2011, I dubbed a “fundamentalist winter.” The American embassy in Cairo is under siege and the U.S. ambassador and three other staff […]

Hip-hop artist Kanye West took a shot at Mitt Romney in “To the World,” a song on his new album “Cruel Summer.” Aside from being grammatically flawed (the double negative suggests Romney does pay tax), West’s claim is factually untrue. Read more…

Die Welt: Obama’s foreign policy ‘in ruins’
While the U.S. media focus on GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s reaction to the attacks on American embassies across the Middle East, the international media have focused their attention on the actual president, Barack Obama. Read more…

HUMBERTO FONTOVA: CHE GUEVARA IN CHICAGO

http://townhall.com/columnists/humbertofontova/2012/09/15/che_guevara_in_chicago You just knew Che Guevara would show up as an icon of the union demonstrators in Chicago. Why? Well, let’s consider the factors in this demonstration by union-educators who were mostly educated by other union-educators. *Che Guevara outlawed trade unions. Then– at Soviet gun-point– he herded all recalcitrant Cuban union-members into forced-labor camps and […]

THE NEW REPUBLIC’S ATTACK ON PAUL RYAN….FICTION….MARIO LOYOLA

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/320823/mummy-walks-mario-loyola Writing in The New Republic, Leon Wieseltier recently unleashed an attempted decapitation strike on Representative Paul Ryan. But the bombs land all over the place: on his own magazine, on President Obama, on Walter Lippmann, on Daniel Patrick Moynihan — on people and positions he had no intention of criticizing. As a hit piece, […]

MARK STEYN:DISGRACE IN BENGHAZI ****

http://www.nationalreview.com/blogs/print/320283 So, on a highly symbolic date, mobs storm American diplomatic facilities and drag the corpse of a U.S. ambassador through the streets. Then the president flies to Vegas for a fundraiser. No, no, a novelist would say; that’s too pat, too neat in its symbolic contrast. Make it Cleveland, or Des Moines. The president […]

DANEIL GREENFIELD: PART TWO

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ “The events that are shaking the pillars of the world would have happened anyway, because Obama and his administration have over and over again by actions and by words, from his first speech abroad as president in Cairo in 2009 to Hillary Clinton’s speech yesterday, impressed on Muslims the world over that they have […]

DANIEL GREENFIELD: ALL AROUND….DEATH TO AMERICA PART ONE

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/ THE LIBYAN ROUNDUP Copts are worried for their safety in California, two American universities have been evacuated and there are cries of “We Are All Osama” across the Muslim world.

ANDREW McCARTHY: OBAMA VS. FIRST AMENDMENT…HE HAS GIVE TOO MUCH GROUND TO ISLAMISTS ****

http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/321039/obama-vs-first-amendment-andrew-c-mccarthy

Democrats and their sharky Obamedia defense lawyers are in a snit. For three dreamy convention days in Charlotte, they told themselves that, for the first time in decades, it was their guy who had the upper hand when it came to national security. Now that bubble has burst, the way contrived narratives do when they crash into concrete challenges. At that point, an airy president of the world won’t do; we need to have a president of the United States, a job that has never suited, and has never been of much interest to, Barack Obama.

Defense against foreign enemies is the primary job of the president of the United States. The rationale for the office’s creation is national defense — not green venture capitalism, not rationing medical care, not improving the self-image of the “Muslim world,” not leaving no child behind, not blowing out the Treasury’s credit line. Yet, though we are entering the late innings, foreign policy and national defense have not been factors in the 2012 campaign.

That is worth bearing in mind when we hear the laugh-out-loud narrative of Obama as foreign-affairs chess master. The president badly wants to win reelection. If there were anything to his alleged prowess, we’d not have heard the end of it. What we’ve heard, instead, is a bumper-sticker: “Obama killed Osama.” The Left hoped to paste it over the president’s generally dreary record. Even with the Obamedia in coordinated overdrive, the plan can work only if Mitt Romney lets it work — and, thankfully, it looks like he won’t.

Give the president his due: In 2008, he said he would go hard against terrorist havens, no matter how upset this made John McCain’s cherished “allies” in Pakistan, and he has. But even the welcome slamming of jihadist redoubts is undermined by the mess Obama has made of terrorist detention — so our forces kill in situations where they could capture, drying up the intelligence reservoir that has been vital to thwarting new cells and plots.

Moreover, any president would have given the order to take bin Laden out, and just about any post-9/11 president would bomb jihadist hideouts. What’s extraordinary about Obama’s performance in this regard is that he’s one you might have wondered about — he gets graded on a curve. But, thankful as we may be, this is thin camouflage for the rest of Obama’s agenda, which is post-American, anti-constitutional, enabling of the ideology that spawns terrorism, faithless toward our real allies, and feckless in the face of menacing Iran.
