Here is our commentary on the 23 year old Nigerian aristocrat who tried to blow up a plane headed for Detroit over the weekend, using 80 grams of explosive powder PETN, which was sewn into his underwear: Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s father is a wealthy Nigerian bureaucrat, wealthy enough that the boy lived in a 2mm [...]

The President has announced an increase of 30,000 troops to Afghanistan within the next 6 months with the goal of pulling out all troops by July 2011. This is long overdue as we commend Obama for finally listening to General McChrystal. But the bottom line is, there is no magic bullet for fixing Afghanistan. Our [...]

You know it’s a slow news week when the only thing coming out of Obama’s trip to China is an embarrassing political gaffe. Instead of talking about undervalued Chinese currency, Tibet, human rights, or Chinese purchase of American debt, we are instead talking about Barack’s bow wow wow like a little puppy dog to the [...]

By now we are sure everyone has seen the photo of President Obama bowing so low to Japan’s Emperor Akihito, it looks like he is trying to tie his shoes. We are not really sure what to make of this latest foregin policy blunder. Many of Obama’s detractors will see this as another example of [...]

Yesterday we celebrated the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. As we mark this momentous occasion, and look back on it today, Veterans Day, we must ask ourselves: Where have all our leaders gone? Where is the Jon Kennedy, who stood at The Brandenburg Gate and promised to fight communism around the [...]

We would like to praise the Nobel Committee, you continue to select people worthy of the award. People forget that this is not truly a “Peace Prize.” You don’t have to be a pacifist to win this thing. Teddy Roosevelt won the award for mediating the end of the Russo-Japanese War. Yes, the same Teddy [...]

I love how people are so up in arms about Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize, saying it has made a “mockery of the award?” Really? For once, we are actually going to defend the President. Hasn’t this award been a joke for quite some time already? Quite frankly, I am embarrassed not that Obama [...]

After a weekend that saw 12 servicemen killed in action in Afghanistan, and the top US commander, General McChrystal, questioning the Commander in Chief’s strategy, we are left with one simple question: When did Afghanistan become Iraq? It seems like not too long ago these were the headlines coming out of Afghanistan’s neighbor to the [...]

August has been the deadliest month for US troops serving in Afghanistan since the war began in the beginning of the decade. As Clive Crook rightly pointed out today in the Financial Times, if President Obama thought the heat was on him in the health-care debate, just wait until Afghanistan creeps back into everyone’s memory [...]

Today we awake to more American soldiers killed in Afghanistan. Let us ask a question. Does this administration have any plan for winning this war? We guarantee if Bush was still president or even John McCain, there would be front page articles about the casualties in Afghanistan every day in the New York Times. They [...]
