Presidential treason? Or The Emperor's New Niqab

Amillennialist Contra Mundum (Free subscription) | 10 hours ago

A president's first job is to protect the American people, something President Bush -- despite his faults -- obviously took seriously. Obama? Not so much. Clare M. Lopez tells the truth about jihad at Ft. Hood and our national security leadership's inability -- or unwillingness, beginning with The Other Hussein -- to defend properly American life and limb because they refuse to tell the truth about...

by Lt. Col. Ralph Peters It's not true that the only good terrorist is a dead terrorist. Even dead terrorists aren't good. But at least they're dead. And that helps. But political correctness has possessed Washington. It's so bad that even Defense Secretary Robert Gates , who's done a great job in many other respects, parrots the cliché that "we can't kill our way out of this." Well,...

Ron Paul, Bipartisanship's Quiet Champion

The Humble Libertarian (Free subscription) | 11/23/2009

By: Ryan Jaroncyk , T H L Contributor More and more Americans are growing tired of the bitter partisanship that has come to define our nation's politics. Republicans hate the Democrats, and Democrats hate the Republicans. George W. Bush was supposed to be a "uniter, not a divider," yet he ended up bitterly dividing a nation. President Obama was supposed to heal those divisions, yet the nation...

Obama’s Catastrophic Failure of Leadership for America

Bare Naked Islam (Free subscription) | 11/19/2009

In Cairo, when President Obama addressed the Muslim world, global leftists lauded the speech as heralding instant change for the better in the Middle East. The Obama-adoring pundits were right. Change came. But it’s all bad. By Ralph Peters Instead of listening to the extravagant claims of our leftward-plunging media about how profoundly that speech affected Muslims, [...]

"In Any Meaningful Sense"

Lawyers, Guns and Money (Free subscription) | 11/18/2009

I endorse most of what Gian Gentile says here about the Vietnam War, especially in the context of this quote from George Herring: …the war could [not] have been ‘won’ in any meaningful sense at a moral or material cost most Americans deemed acceptable. Gentile is a pretty harsh critic of the COIN turn in the US Army, and is pushing back against some of the more aggressive claims...

EPIC FAIL: Obama and the Muslim World

Jewish Internet Defense Force (Free subscription) | 11/17/2009

Infidels Are Cool brought our attention to a piece by Ralph Peters at the NY Post which explores "how that whole “hope and change” is working out with the Muslim world since Obama took office. The State run media expected the Islamic world to suddenly start loving America if we would only apologize for the so-called “plight” of worldwide Muslims. So Barack, how’s...

Obambi meets Bin-Zilla

Triablogue (Free subscription) | 11/17/2009

I don’t have any firm opinions about what we should do in Afghanistan at this juncture. In favor of the surge, it’s supported by some very credible individuals (e.g. Robert Gates, Gen Petraeus, Gen McChrystal, the Joint Chiefs). On the other hand, you also have military pundits like Ralph Peters who think that strategy is ill-conceived. And I myself have never been sanguine about the prospects...

Al Czervik on our wars in the Mideast: I’ve been torn by the conflict on how to feel about Afghanistan, but after reading Pat Boone’s column today, I’m with Pat on this one. ... Boone’s not the only one with this assessment: Lt. Col Ralph Peters has been saying GTFO since February . ...

Retired Army Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, military journalist and novelist, has looked into the future again in his latest novel, “The War After Armageddon.” Certainly, anything conjuring the fabled final war between good and evil is ominous. Peters’ fictional last clash is between a sudden restoration of militant Christendom in the West and Islamic lands [...]
