Forget JFK

It's probably the most oft-quoted thing that President Jack Kennedy ever said: "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country." And it's something that you'd think that the diplomats at Foggy Bottom would have taken to heart long ago, but you'd be wrong. "Incoming is coming […]

Apology forthcoming?

Let me preface this by saying that I'll completely trust North Korea when Kim Jong Il is pushing up daisies. However, news today out of the six-party talks in Geneva is encouraging. North Korea agreed Sunday to account for and disable its atomic programs by the end of the year, offering its first timeline for […]

Warmonger Obama

This post has been updated. Illinois junior Sen. Barack Obama is trying to burnish his foreign policy credentials after what was seen by many as a faux pas when he agreed to meet with the leaders of rogue states Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, North Korea and Syria without precondition in the first year of his presidency.

I don't like this

Aside from Israel -- a democracy -- I don't think much of selling a bunch of advanced weaponry to various Middle East countries. Heck, I wouldn't sell Saudi Arabia a prop plane until they got this Wahabbi stuff out of their system and got open-minded enough to allow their foreign Christian workers to worship legally […]

KerryVision

After Thursday night's debate, I still don't know what Sen. John Kerry's plan is for fighting the global war on terrorism. I think a "global test" of some sort is involved. And committee meetings, aka "summits," are also a good idea. To me, Kerry's plan appears to be reactive, not proactive, and focused on a […]

How the mighty have fallen

During WWII the German Army's blitzkrieg dominated Europe. The German warrior culture was so feared that for decades the world kept the country divided into East and West. Today, one retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. can send the Germans into full retreat by suggesting that Germany only likes the U.S. troops for the money they […]

Useless U.N.

The New York Times' resident conservative, David Brooks, points out one of President Bush's "flip-flops." Bowing to calls from the Democrat Party and American "allies" around the world, in at least one instance the President has eschewed his unilateral foreign policy -- to the delight of liberal elites. Confronted with the murder of 50,000 in […]

Our French "allies"

The nation of cheese-eating surrender monkeys was behind an effort to undermine the case for war against Iraq by planting false documents. The Italian businessman at the centre of a furious row between France and Italy over whose intelligence service was to blame for bogus documents suggesting Saddam Hussein was seeking to buy material for […]

Kerry's conundrum

Sen. John Kerry appeared on various Sunday morning shows promising that his election as president would usher in a renewed relationship with our "allies" -- understood to be at least Germany and France (and occasionally Russia) -- that would result in those countries sending troops to Iraq to help alleviate the burden on the American […]
