Something Brewing in Iran

February 1, 2010

A couple of stories that have surfaced today make me wonder if something is brewing in Iran.  First, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced yesterday that Iran would “deliver a harsh blow to the ‘global arrogance’ on this year’s anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.” The anniversary, which takes place on February 11, marks the beginning of [...]

Why The United Nations is Useless

October 5, 2009

Conservatives for years have been contending that the United Nations is a useless, ineffective organization that caters to dictators and rogue nations.  In an interview yesterday International Atomic Energy Agency (an independent organization that reports to the UN) director-general Mohamed ElBaradei spoke about the security in the Middle East.  He also identified what he saw [...]

Netanyahu Calls Out the UN

September 25, 2009

Yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave a speech to the United Nations stating plainly that Iran is insidiously destabilizing the region through proxy wars, openly threatening Israel while denying the Holocaust, and thumbing its nose at the IAEA (not big deal there, but an honorable mention seemed obligatory).  Hence, a stronger hand is needed by [...]

Obama Sell-Out on Missile Defense

September 17, 2009

In Obama’s short political career he’s thrown Bill Ayers, Reverend Wright, Israel, Van Jones, Grandma, etc. under the bus to advance his political agenda — it’s a bumpy ride in the Obama Nation!  Well, today he’s thrown two more entire countries under the bus: Poland and the Czech Republic! 
Obama and crew have decided to end American plans to [...]

Obama on Iran: Trust ‘Em, While Isolating Israel

June 2, 2009

Our Leader has spoken (fast-forward to 2:26 for this money-quote, then his naivety on display thereafter):
“Iran has legitimate energy concerns, legitimate aspirations…”
Has anyone informed the Beneficent One that we tried this same appeasement approach to a belligerent nation seeking nuclear “energy” in the past?  That would have been North Korea!  But at least when NK was bamboozling [...]

Snubbing Brits an Example of Obama’s Twisted Priorities

March 8, 2009

For those of us who root for the Conservative Party when following British politics, watching Gordon Brown’s disastrous trip to the United States was a treat because it was merely the most recent episode of what has become a Labour Party trainwreck.  Although Brown’s trip was entertaining to follow from that perspective, the American in [...]

Sweden. Now There’s A Nation of Cowards

February 22, 2009

Despite what’s been flying out of Eric Holder’s mouth, the United States is not a nation of cowards.  If you want to see a nation of cowards, look no further than Sweden.  Last week, the Scandinavian Socialist Paradise decreed that their country’s upcoming Davis Cup match with Israel will have to be played in an [...]

BBC Employees Unknowingly Admit Pro-Palestinian Bias

February 21, 2009

Four hundred BBC employees have signed a petition to overturn the BBC’s recent decision not to broadcast a pro-Palestinian propaganda special “Gaza Humanitarian Aid Appeal.”  The employees argue that by not airing the special, the BBC is effectively taking sides in the conflict.  Apparently, the BBC would never dream of broadcasting one-sided coverage in the [...]

Give It Up Tzipi: Lieberman Backs Netanyahu

February 19, 2009

Benjamin Netanyahu now has the inside track to becoming Israel’s next Prime Minister. That’s because Avigor Lieberman, the leader of Israel’s third largest party, has thrown his Yisrael Beitenu’s support behind a Netanyahu-led coalition. But there’s a catch.
Although he prefers Netanyahu as Prime Minister, Lieberman is insisting that Netanyahu include Tzipi Livni’s [...]

An Iranian Threat On The Horizon

February 11, 2009

Just what we need.  With all of the current domestic trouble with the economy, the last thing that we need is a major foreign policy crisis to enter the fray.  According to the Wisconsin Project, Iran is probably now only two months away from having a nuclear weapon.  All the while, Obama wants to hold [...]

Feeling a Lot Like 9/10 Out There

January 27, 2009

In Barry’s First Seven Days we’ve already lurched backwards, perhaps dangerously.
First, we fold over the issue of Gitmo in the face of evidence regarding the fate of some of the released detainees, making appear America less safe. 
Then, Barry goes over to al Arabiya TV and gives his first post-Inaugural interview with them –  not the MSM, [...]

Obama Asks Hen House to Open the Doors To Foxland

January 22, 2009

President Obama has asked Israel to open its borders with Gaza, the the region from which hundreds of rockets were launched at Israeli civilians as recently as last week.  Why?  So the terrorists can get a better shot?
It is highly unlikely that the Israeli government would pay much attention to this asinine request in the [...]

Say Never Forever

January 19, 2009

With anti-semitism on the rise in recent years, especially in Europe, disturbing scenes like these have become increasingly common.  What’s even more troubling is that anti-semitism is socially acceptable enough in certain areas for people to shamelessly display their hatred out in the open.  Not that all anti-semites are content to confine their filth to [...]

Terrorists in Lebanon Attack Israel

January 8, 2009

Early this morning, missiles were fired into Israel by terrorists, likely Hezbollah, injuring two people.  Israel retaliated by firing rockets into Southern Lebanon.
This escalates the current conflict between Israel and Palestine into a second front, and will end up giving The One his first big foreign policy test.
The conflict between Israel and Palestine may be [...]

Ground War in Gaza

January 4, 2009

Israel has moved the tanks and troops into the Gaza Strip in the latest phase of “Operation Cast Lead;”  Israel’s attempt to get Hamas to embrace a lasting ceasefire.  Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas has called Israel’s incursion “brutal aggression,” and the UN is hyperventilating over Israel’s actions of late, citing the laughable phrases “disproportionate” and [...]

Renewed Violence in Gaza

December 28, 2008

“Second verse, same as the first.” 
“You sound like a broken record.” 
“Been there, done that.” 
“Renewed violence in Gaza.”
Get the picture?  Hamas decided last week that it would be prudent to end the latest ceasefire with Israel.  Then Hamas proceeded to get its butt kicked.  Now they are complaining about the very violence they restarted this time around in [...]

Obama To Sell Out Israel

November 16, 2008

According to the UK Times Online, Barack Obama plans to back the 2002 Saudi Peace Initiative, which requires Israel to withdraw to their 1967 borders, and creates a divided Jerusalem.  From the Times article:
On a visit to the Middle East last July, the president-elect said privately it would be “crazy” for Israel to refuse a [...]

Israeli PM Livni Calls For An Election

October 26, 2008

Barack Obama isn’t the only politician with an unusually strong sense of entitlement.  Tzipi Livni, leader of Israel’s Kadima Party, could probably give Obama a run for his money.  After months of trying to become Israel’s Prime Minister without an election, Livni acknowledged the inevitable and called for the general election she so desperately tried [...]

Olmert to Resign

July 30, 2008

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert said today that he is not going to run again as leader of the Kadima Party after the September 17 primary elections.  He’s leaving it for his Kadima successor to try and put together a governing coalition. 
I’m not an Olmert fan — two summers ago, shelling an border fighting caused two Israelis to be taken [...]

Bush Speech Irks Obama, Dems

May 15, 2008

President Bush was giving a speech to the Israeli Knesset commemorating the 60th birthday of Israel.  One of the most traumatic events in the history of the Jews and an integral part of the history of the state of Israel was the Holocaust, which only happened because of the horrors of World War II.  That war [...]

Sarko The American Also Supports Israel

March 11, 2008

When Jimmy Carter and other like-minded liberals fantasized about closer relations between America and France, I don’t think they were talking about the two countries seeing eye-to-eye on Israel and the Iranian threat. Fortunately for the civilized world, Nicolas Sarkozy is not your typical French President or incompetent American one.
During Shimon Peres’ recent visit [...]

1938, Part II

August 2, 2006

It feels like 1938 (not that I was there). A grave threat to civilization is on the horizon, threatening the world. The appeasers in the world are shouting “Peace in our time”. Brave leaders are mocked and ridiculed as being out-of-touch and trigger-happy. What the appeasers do not realize is that history is at yet [...]
