They died for you

The first thing to know about World War II is that it was a big war, a war that lasted 2,174 days and claimed an average of 27,600 lives every day, or 1,150 an hour, or 19 a minute, or one death every three seconds. One, two, three, snap. One, two, three, snap.

Good quote on the demise of the Republicans

Things can change quickly in the political game - just look at the rapid demise of Lyndon Johnson in less than four years. The Republican Party was left for dead when LBJ conned America into trusting him. They won the next election. The Republicans are far from finished, just down for now. Buyer's remorse should be setting in soon on the Big O, clearly unqualified to be president, as Joe Biden himself stated during the campaign when running against him.

Two-state solution no solution

Few had high expectations of the meetings between President Barack Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington this week and there is precious little reason for optimism now that the meetings have concluded. One thing is clear. President Obama seems to have both a moral blindeness and backwards priorities.

Homeland Security seems to have severe mental illness

I’m sorry if you feel that way…..I’m sorry if you misunderstood the report…..I stand behind the report but I think there was a misunderstanding regarding the report…….Doesn’t this sound like the naughty 14-year-old who stole the keys to your car, ran it into the ditch then promptly blamed it on the car, ditch and parents?

Hezbollah’s Road to Victory in Lebanon’s June 7 Parliamentary Elections

Webster Brooks, Foreignpolicyreview.org The specter of a Hezbollah-led coalition victory in Lebanon’s June 7 parliamentary elections looms large over the Middle East . Under Hassan Nasrallah’s leadership, Hezbollah’s March 8 Coalition is on the threshold of ruling the Arab world’s most ethnically and religiously diverse democracy. With all the legitimate instruments of state power at Nasrallah’s disposal, Lebanon’s transformation from a weak Balkanized state into a fortress of Iranian influence in the Levant is a foreboding certainty. Bracing for a strategic setback in the region, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made an unannounced stop in Beirut on April 27 to assess the situation and reassure America’s Lebanese allies they would not be abandoned in tough times.
