Our worst ex-president had an op-ed piece in yesterday's Washington Post that must be read to believe. Carter accuses Israel of starving the people in Gaza and accepts Hamas' explanation that the only way that they can fight back is to launch thousands of rockets into Israel. Apparently Hamas can't smuggle in food, but they've […]
Over the past week-plus Israel has been attacking Hamas in the Gaza strip. First using precision-guided munitions and, since this past weekend, with ground troops. After five years and more than 7,000 rockets launched with the sole aim of terrorizing Israeli civilians, Israel decided it had finally had enough. Instead of being lauded for their […]
Israel today traded five terrorists -- including a piece of refuse who killed a father in front of his 4-year-old daughter before bashing her brains in -- for the mutilated bodies of two of its soldiers. This sort of trade virtually guarantees that more of their soldiers will be kidnapped and murdered -- they're rewarding […]
Sen. Chuck Schumer in today's Wall Street Journal on Iran's nuclear and missile programs: Two years ago, under NATO auspices, Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania agreed to build an antimissile defense site to thwart the threat of a nuclear missile attack by Iran. The threat is hypothetical and remote, and the Bush administration's emphasis […]
Here's John McCain's remarks on Barack Obama's prospective Iran policy. Before I begin my prepared remarks, I want to respond briefly to a comment Senator Obama made yesterday about the threat posed to the United States by the Government of Iran. Senator Obama claimed that the threat Iran poses to our security is “tiny” compared […]
If you didn't know the context you might think they won a World Cup soccer game. But that's not what they're celebrating with all the cheering, passing out candy and the joyful firing of guns into the air. They're celebrating the murder of eight Jewish seminary students last week. The Palestinians have raised generations in […]
Alan Dershowitz, the liberal Harvard Law School professor with whom I agree with only on Israel, had an interesting Op-Ed in Monday's Wall Street Journal that raises some questions about what the new "rules" should be in the war against Islamist terrorists. The traditional sharp distinction between soldiers in uniform and civilians in nonmilitary garb […]
Sen. Barack Obama had this interesting anecdote in last night's debate: OBAMA: You know, I've heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon — supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon. Ended up being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been sent to […]
You'd think that five years after the wholesale failure of U.S. intelligence agencies (and those of the rest of the world) to determine the state of Iraq's WMD programs that their guesstimates would be viewed with a healthy dose of skepticism. I'm not sure that's what is happening. Rand Beers, who resigned from Bush's National […]
President Bush, like any politician, has made some good moves and some bad ones. This week's farce of a peace conference in Annapolis, Md., is one of the bad ones. Israeli and Palestinian leaders pledged yesterday in Annapolis to begin negotiations next month for a possible peace agreement, but their speeches before representatives of 40 […]
