The Obama Administration Apologizes To The People Attacking Our Embassy
12 Sep 2012 5:21 am John Hawkins

Barack Obama has pursued his foreign policy with the habitual incompetence that he’s shown in the domestic arena, but he’s been a little luckier there. The military came to him and said, “We know where Osama is. Are we allowed to kill him?” He said “yes.” Iraq didn’t implode when we pulled out despite his incredibly foolish decision to set a timeline.
That’s where Obama has been lucky.
Obama is also losing the war in Afghanistan via a half hearted effort, ridiculous rules of engagement, and another timeline that is propping …

Brit Columnist: We Hated Bush But Obama’s Just as Bad
28 Aug 2012 3:17 pm Warner Todd Huston

Left-wing, British columnist Owen Jones was not a fan of George W. Bush, it seems. While this is no surprise for as screaming a left-winger as Jones, what is a surprise is that he has decided that President Obama is no real improvement over the “repulsive” Bush.
In a recent column in The Independent, Jones went on a monotonous rant of name-calling against Bush — the same sort of nonsense with which we are all woefully familiar. All his name calling there is easily forgettable, naturally, but when he finally got …

What’s the Future of the Middle East?
24 Aug 2012 4:09 pm Michael Fell

For those who support the institutionalized “progressive” left’s or Ron Paul’s positions on foreign policy, consider these perspectives expressed in an article posted August 24, 2012 on pravda.ru:
“With the beginning of the Islamic awakening movement in the Middle East, the United States and its allies in the region, fearing the increasing waves of anti-American and anti-Zionist sentiments, tried to insinuate to the world a false interpretation of this movement…
The Zionist regime of Israel has the world’s largest network of state terrorism and has committed numerous crimes in the countries of …

Up is Down: Media Ignores Romney’s Successes in Overseas Trip
2 Aug 2012 9:05 pm Warner Todd Huston

What was the most striking thing about Mitt Romney’s overseas trip this week? Says Powerline, the most striking thing is the “hypercritical” coverage given the trip by the American press. In what could only be seen by an unbiased person as a success, Romney’s trip has instead been reported as a gaffe-filled mess.
Romney’s non-controversy comments about the Olympics aside, the worst part of the coverage was all the attention the Old Media lavished on the absurd claim from a member of the Palestinian Authority that Romney was a “racist” for …

Obama Conference Call Ignoring Administration’s Syria Stagnation
25 Jul 2012 12:56 am Warner Todd Huston

President Obama’s reelection team held a conference call recently. The call was meant as an attack on Mitt Romney’s trip abroad, a trip meant to burnish his foreign policy creds. But one thing that team Obama seemed to want to ignore was Obama’s own foreign policy failures in Syria. And so the civil war in that far away lands was practically ignored by Obama’s advisers.
In fact, Obama’s entire policy on Syria seems to have at the very least become stalled. It is likely he’s putting off any further decisions until …

A New Attitude Yes, More Confidence? No
24 Jul 2012 5:57 pm Michael Fell

The current Oval Office occupant has claimed, and while speaking to the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention in Reno continued to claim that under his stewardship people have a new attitude towards and more confidence in America.
“Four years ago, I stood before you at a time of great challenge for our nation. We were engaged in two wars. Al Qaeda was entrenched in their safe havens in Pakistan. Many of our alliances were frayed. Our standing in the world had suffered. We were in the worst recession of our lifetimes. …

Obama Looks To Cut Global AIDS Funding
23 Jul 2012 8:52 am William Teach

Let’s imagine that President Bush was looking to cut funding for global AIDS programs: this would be all over the news. Yet, since it is (NMP) Obama doing this, it has mostly been ignored. Go ahead, try searching, see if the story is in other media outlets, other than this one from WRAL, sourced from Bloomberg, which I just happened to noticed when looking at the local news on my ‘Droid Sunday afternoon
(WRAL) Facing a growing deficit and political demands to cut spending, the Obama administration is planning to …

Obama ‘Outsourcing’ Fundraising… to China!
14 Jul 2012 12:21 pm Warner Todd Huston

While Obama tries to get America focused on the false claim that Romney outsourced jobs as the chief of Bain Capitol, what was the President doing? Why, outsourcing his fundraising, of course. Outsourcing it to Shanghai, China to be precise.
On July 11, Obama’s big money men were holding a nice fundraiser in Red China for the President. It headed up by Technology for Obama co-chairman Robert Roche, who has committed to raising $500,000 for Obama.
Here is the fundraising webpage for the Shanghai event.
Does that seem a bit hypocritical? Attacking …

Putin Punks Obama
11 Jul 2012 12:20 pm Michael Fell

The most glaring example of diminishing United States power and influence around the globe is the dynamic taking place between the U.S. andRussia regarding Syria.
Russia has dispatched a flotilla of eleven warships, almost half of which have the ability to carry hundreds of marines to the eastern Mediterranean. Some of those ships are to be docked in Syria. It is the greatest display of Russian power in the region since the start of Syria’s current conflict.
This is clearly a part of Russia’s effort to become a decisive power broker in …

Mitt Romney’s Foreign Policy Won’t Include “Frenemies”
2 Jul 2012 9:32 am William Teach

We’re starting to get a glimpse of how a President Romney would act on the international stage, which would be vastly different from (NMP) Obama’s
(Washington Times) Call it the “friend-enemy” distinction.
Mitt Romney has assembled a foreign-policy platform rooted in the belief that adversaries such as Russia must be confronted for backsliding on democracy and that Israel must be supported in the face of common threats such as a nuclear-armed Iran.
Advisers to the former Massachusetts governor contrast that approach and a belief in “American exceptionalism” with those of President Obama, whose …

Sequestration, thermonuclear war, and the F-35 engine: an interview with SLD Forum’s Ed Timperlake
22 Jun 2012 12:02 am Dustin Siggins

Ed Timperlake is the Former Principal Director of Mobilization Planning and Requirements for President Ronald Reagan and a former Marine fighter pilot. He is currently the editor of SLD Forum, a website dedicated to a robust discussion of national security issues. We sat down earlier this week to discuss a myriad of pressing national security issues.

Dustin Siggins: What are your views on sequestration from a national security standpoint?
Ed Timperlake: Ignore it, it won’t happen. There’s no political will to gut the military. Nor should there be.

DS: Many people, including me, …

Fundraise and Fore! obama’s Answer to World Events
19 Jun 2012 6:23 am Michael Fell

Israel issued warnings over security problems with Egypt. Militants from the Sinai Peninsula crossed over into southern Israel Monday and fired on a border security fence, killing one Israeli. The IDF moved tanks and otherarmed forces to the Israel-Egypt border in response to the attack. Egypt is on the offensive against Israel.
Egypt’s presidential election results lean towards victory for Mohammed Morsi, the radical Islamist Muslim Brotherhood candidate. Thanks at least in part to vocal White House support for the “Arab Spring”, which ushered the Muslim Brotherhood to Egypt’s presidency, Egypt …

The International Conference on Global Governance vs. National Sovereignty, sponsored by American Freedom Alliance, concluded Monday in Los Angeles CA.
The chief question posed at the Conference’s opening: Is Global Governance vs. National Sovereignty the West’s next ideological war?

He not only gave definition to the term “the Global Governance Movement”, he also described its agenda, which is to subvert …

Shocking Similarities Concealed
3 Jun 2012 7:14 pm Michael Fell

In a televised address to parliament, President Bashar Assad said foreign-backed terrorists and extremists were to blame for the massacres going on in Syria. Despite suspicions expressed by the UN that Assad’s forces are responsible for the Houla massacre, Assad denied it. Syrian opposition condemned his comments as lies.
Assad described protestors as paid killers, ridiculing freedom demonstrators as people not truly looking for reform. The opposition is seeking reform in a country where expressing dissent often leads directly to arrest and torture. They contend that Assad has offered nothing but …

Poland Incensed Over Obama “Polish Death Camps” Remark, Still Waiting On Apology
30 May 2012 7:39 am William Teach

Here’s the Smartest President Ever® insulting yet another ally. Does the Democrat White House even bother to do any research? It’s really easy with this wonderful new invention call the Internet
(ABC News) Poles and Polish-Americans expressed outrage today at President Obama’s reference earlier to “a Polish death camp” — as opposed to a Nazi death camp in German-occupied Poland.
“The White House will apologize for this outrageous error,” Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski tweeted. Sikorski said that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk “will make a statement in the morning. It’s a pity …

Broken, Unfulfilled Promises and Wild Cards
29 May 2012 4:50 pm Michael Fell

Facing a divisive run-off vote for president of Egypt, Mohammed Mursi, the Muslim Brotherhood’s candidate, is trying for the center ground. He’s said he would include a wide range of political forces in government, promising to provide representation to women and children. “I stress to all people that the presidency… will never be individual,” he said. “Rather, the presidency will be an institution.”
Mursi also tried to reassure the uprising’s youth group leaders, saying he wanted a “democratic, civil, and modern state” including freedom of religion and a right to protest. …

A Blogger at NATO 2012, What I Saw on Day One
21 May 2012 12:46 pm Warner Todd Huston

I was awarded press credentials for NATO’s 2012 Summit in Chicago and, having no idea what to expect, what I found on day one was a study in contrasts. What occurred was sometimes amusing, often mundane, and sometimes even violent. But it was all democracy in action.
Early on the morning of day one, Sunday, May 20, I boarded a western Metra train under threat of having my equipment bags confiscated or at least me prevented from boarding the train with them. I was not ruffed up the “the man,” though …

Obama To Hunt For Syria’s Chemical Weapons?
21 May 2012 8:05 am William Teach

Will Liberals around the world freak out over this, as they did with Iraq?
(Zee News) The United States is accelerating its plan with Middle Eastern allies to secure Syria’s vast stockpile of chemical weapons as that crisis in that country continues to worsen, according to a report.
According to America and Middle Eastern officials, the planning, involving intelligence and military officials from at least seven countries, includes detailed arrangements for securing chemical arms with special operations troops in the event that parts of Syria are …

More Evidence That I Was Right About Killing Julian Assange
17 May 2012 7:44 am John Hawkins

George W. Bush never took leaks of sensitive classified material seriously and Obama is following in his footsteps, but the reality is that these leaks can lead to big body counts. When we alert the enemy to techniques we use to get information out of them, track them, or our sources — people can die as a result.
…In Assange’s case, he’s not an American and so he has no constitutional protection. Moreover, he’s going to get a lot of people killed. Can we do anything legally about someone from another …

US Administration Renews Push to Ratify Law of Sea Treaty
12 May 2012 12:01 am Michael Fell

The Obama administration has initiated a renewed push to convince the U.S. Senate to approve the 1982 United Nations Law of the Sea treaty. Administration officials claim approval of the pact is necessary to protect the U.S. Navy’s right to carry out exercises off the coast of China. In the past Chinese ships have harassed U.S. vessels.
The administration’s push to approve the treaty comes at a time of increased focus by the Pentagon on China’s military buildup and the expansion of its influence in the Asia-Pacific region. The Pentagon is …
