A decade has passed; the Communist Party is still in power. But ...

Obama Was Israiled: Killing bin Laden Was Not Foreign Policy Experience For
2011-05-22 17:13:00 -By Warner Todd Huston On Friday Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu schooled President Obama -- who is clearly out of his depth -- on Middle East diplomacy. This would not have been necessary if Obama had not tried to turn decades of American foreign policy on its ear, if he had not turned against our only real Mid East fried, and if he hadn't made to come to the comfort of radical Islamists without conscience who only want to kill Jews and Americans. Obama also proved that just killing bin Laden does not equal foreign policy expertise. Coming off his high after presiding over the end of America's number one enemy, Obama thought he saw an opening to help bin...

'Nosy neighbor' foreign policy creates enemies
2011-03-15 14:39:00 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE'Nosy neighbor' foreign policy creates enemiesBURNET, Texas (March 14) - When former President George W. Bush canceled a trip to Geneva for a charity fundraiser because he feared being arrested for war crimes, it was a shame and a blot on our nation, potential Libertarian presidential candidate R. Lee Wrights told the Georgia Libertarian Party State Convention Saturday."It's a shame. It's a blot on this country and it's a blot on all of us that one of our former leaders is afraid to go somewhere because he's going to be charged with war crimes," Wrights said. In February, Bush canceled a speaking engagement at a charity fundraiser in Geneva because a human rights group filed a criminal complaint against him in a Swiss court alleging torture."I'd like to think that if I got the job, you'd never have to worry about that," said Wrights, former Vice Chair of the national Libertarian Party. The incident is an inevitable and direct result of the "nosy neighbor...

Foreign Policy: "They're Here, They're Queer, It's No B
2010-06-01 09:17:00 Foreign Policy has an interesting write up on the issue of Don't Ask, Don't Tell. About the same time as the United States enacted Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Israel lifted restrictions on gay enlistment. Danny Kaplan, the article's author, notes that a person's sexuality has little bearing on the day to day life of the military. Heck, it has little bearing on anyone's day to day life. As an example, I'll note this order of events: wake up, get ready for school or work, go to school or work, work or get educated, come home or go out on errands, go out or come home from errands, come home, sleep, repeat.In his words, Kaplan says:"This is why the policy of "don't ask,...

Meet the New Foreign Policy, Same As the Old Foreign Policy
2009-02-08 19:39:00 I wrote some weeks ago at Pajamas Media: For all the vitriol that has been coming from the left, and specifically out of President Obama’s mouth during the campaign, there’s a difference in tone coming out of the Obama camp over the last several weeks. There has been an abandonment of the hot rhetoric of the leftist in favor of of a liberal forced to face the reality of the world around him (i.e., adpopting existing White House policy). The change in tone is a recognition that the rhetoric that the American public was offered during the election was simply not based on reality. As President Obama and his people are briefed on what has been happening in the world these last eight years, the insider’s view has given them a completely new perspective on what to do about the situation, resulting in completely different actions as compared to the ones they were telling everyone they would take once they were given the power. The problem, of course, is that the always image consci...
