Appeler un Chat un Chat, Monsieur Obama
After the horrific attacks on Charlie Hebdo earlier this month, French Prime Minister Manuel Valls identified “radical Islam” as the enemy of France. In an almost surreal attempt not to mix Islamist terrorists with the wide community of Muslims around the world, however, President Obama and his administration went to great lengths to insist that […]
ISIS on the Run
The Wall Street Journal reports that U.S.-led airstrikes have wiped out 6,000 of ISIS’s 14,000 core fighters and half of its core leadership.

The Kurds, Unlikely Winners
As Sunni insurgents have sent Iraq’s Shia controlled military south at a rapid clip, Kurdish leaders have taken advantage of the power vacuum in cities like Kirkuk. The Wall Street Journal reports that as government forces fled, Kurdish troops began occupying key positions with no sign they’ll withdraw if or when the conflict between the Sunnis […]
Meet Kurdistan’s Peshmerga
The well-disciplined peshmerga are Kurdistan’s pro-American army. The peshmerga are now in complete control of Kirkuk giving the Kurds all of Kurdistan in Iraq, including the giant Kirkuk oil fields. Here Peter Galbraith, author of “The End of Iraq,” lays out the whole story. Kurdistan’s military, called the peshmerga, is ideally situated to combat ISIS. The […]
