A mere 10 hours before the attack news broke on the Paris attacks, President Obama went on ABC and announced, we “have contained” ISIS. John Podhoretz writes: As a matter of pure fact, it wasn’t true. As a matter of strategy, it was a disastrous thing to say for a man who had promised only […]

Former Iraq Officers Are IS Leaders

Neocon Hour of Power
“Since WWII, there have been five elected GOP presidents: Eisenhower, Nixon, Reagan, Bush I and Bush II. Only Bush II could be called a compulsive interventionist,” writes Pat Buchanan.
