Writing in National Review, Jim Geraghty tells readers that Trump’s populist appeal tends to “fall apart on closer inspection.” “Case in point: American policy in the Middle East, where Trump has in recent years repeatedly endorsed the bizarre, bellicose fantasy that the U.S could and should seize oil fields in Iraq and Libya.” In 2007, […]
Fiery Outrage from Our Men in Washington
As Andrew McCarthy, a policy fellow at National Review Institute, writes at NRO, there is plenty of fiery outrage by the Bengahazi panel under a Republican-controlled House over the massacre in Benghazi, but not a lot of forthcoming answers.
