In Foreign Policy, James Stavridis outlines his support for a formal alliance with Israel. He writes: There is certainly broad consensus on the need to assuage Israeli insecurities. A wide variety of observers have opined on the need to do so, including most recently Michèle Flournoy and Richard Fontaine, both well-regarded defense analysts at the […]
No Formal Alliance With Israel
The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison explains to readers, “The U.S.- Israel relationship is already a net liability for America.” Larison writes: There are a few obvious reasons why the U.S. shouldn’t do this. First, the U.S. already has far too many formal security commitments around the world, and adding another would needlessly add to U.S. […]
Scowcroft Was Right—Bush Was Dead Wrong
Brent Scowcroft warned that if the United States went into Iraq, it would turn the Middle East into a caldron. Scowcroft conceded that Saddam might well be a despot and untrustworthy, but he noted that it wasn’t because of terrorism that the Iraqi leader was a problem. He predicted that if the United States went […]
A Muslim President?
Pat Buchanan tells readers that when asked by Chuck Todd on Meet the Press whether he could support a Muslim for president, Carson (Ben) replied, “I would not advocate that we put a Muslim in charge of this nation. I absolutely would not agree with that.” Pat continues, “ A man’s religion is a part […]
Remembering Breaking Bad With Badfinger
You are polishing off the final episode of Breaking Bad, ready to cry because one of the coolest series ever filmed was minutes from its end. Then comes on the finale music that would really finish you off. The perfect music to sound the closing notes for Breaking Bad was Badfinger’s “Baby Blue,” written by […]
No U.S. Stake or Allies
The American Conservative’s Daniel Larison points out the ongoing folly of the neocon “War Dogs.” Arms provided by the Obama administration to the Syrian opposition end up in the hands of the jihadists. Were no lessons learned by the U.S. in Afghanistan? As could have been expected, taking out Saddam in Iraq and Gaddafi in […]
The Passing of a Legend – R.I.P Yogi Berra
The WSJ writes, “Yogi Berra was among baseball’s greatest catchers, but his career was overshadowed by the more enduring fame that came from simply being Yogi Berra: the polite 8th-grade dropout whose contributions to American English rivaled Mark Twain’s. Mr. Berra, who died Tuesday at the age of 90, played for the New York Yankees […]
Stop Immigration, Legal and Illegal
France’s FN party leader Marine Le Pen has an explicit goal: “My aim is clear: to stop immigration both legal and illegal.” Le Pen continues, “Undocumented immigrants should not receive state-funded medical care and social security and social security payments to asylum-seekers should end.” The FN leader also called for “all foreigners on file for […]
European Migration Rift Intensifies
“Europe should strengthen its external borders to discourage migration. Hungary last week decided to extend its border fence with non-EU member Serbia to parts of its border fence with fellow EU members Croatia and Romania, which are outside Europe’s open border Schengen area.” “Tensions between Hungry, Croatia and Romania rose amid the crisis, with Hungary […]
From Our Paris Window
Pat Buchanan suggests that it is in America’s interest not to have Assad fall. America and NATO were 100% responsible for taking out Saddam and Kadhafi, thus destabilizing the Middle East. No destabilization, no ISIS. Now, the very same neocon crowd that pushed Bush to invade Iraq and Obama to take out Kadhafi wants to […]
