The Gates Doctrine: Caveat Emptor »

By Mel Goodman on Apr 14, 2009 in Defense, John McCain, Middle East, National Defense, Obama Administration, Pentagon, Robert Gates | 18 Comments

Editor’s Note: Originally published at The Public Record.
Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has learned very little from the military trials and tribulations of the United States over the past 50 years. During that period, the United States has lost three costly and avoidable wars in Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, and the Middle East. These wars [...]

Bush II? »

By Larry Johnson on Nov 14, 2008 in Barack Obama, CIA, Commander in Chief, Counterterrorism, Current Affairs, George Bush, India, Iraq, Jihadists, John Brennan, National Defense, National Security, Pakistan, State Department | 207 Comments

(Bumped up from yesterday by Bronwyn’s Harbor. Hey, Josh Marshall, since you’re not content being a leading liberal blog owner so now you’re hangin’ with all of Barack Obama’s friends like Bernardine Dohrn — and we dig it because, well, you were never the cool kid in class, but now you see a chance, and [...]

[Ed.: If you missed it, you must listen to Nocturnal Warrior's Post-Election Special on November 5th -- the opening skit is a HOWLER! You can also catch all of Nocturnal Warrior's great archives at BlogTalkRadio.com.]
Don’t think for a moment that just because the election is over, that President-elect Obama’s Kool-Aid drunk hordes of internet [...]

It Is Certain to Be “A Dangerous Time”: 44’s First 365 “3 a.m.” Moments »

By Bronwyn's Harbor on Nov 1, 2008 in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Foreign Policy, John McCain, National Defense, National Security, Qualifications | 99 Comments

We are facing the prospect of a naive and relatively uninformed young president whose world view has been largely formed by the far-left anti-American radicals he’s chosen as some of his closest friends for decades.
We are facing the risk of a president so little traveled that he had to make a whirlwind tour of Europe [...]

“Tiny” * Open Thread »

By SusanUnPC on Oct 28, 2008 in Barack Obama, Flag officers, Iran, Israel, National Defense, National Security | 130 Comments

Obama will need more than a popular male prescription medication to get past this new McCain/Palin TV ad:
“Tiny - 30 seconds“

That was a vile intro, wasn’t it. But such fun to write. (My mother would have been aghast.) BUT, HARK! MORE IS TO COME! Truthteller is posting a critically important story about Israel, [...]

Obama’s Iraq Double Talk-Gate Response »

By NancyA on Sep 17, 2008 in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, Iraq, National Defense, National Security | 201 Comments

Agence France Presse, released Obama’s statement on the Iraq Double Talk-gate not more than 14 hours ago. I am sad to say it took the AFP to release this statement. The media here in the US seem to be “missing in action”.
There are a couple of very troubling things about Obama’s response and meeting. There [...]

What Do You Know - Governing Alaska Does… »

By Rabble Rouser Reverend Amy on Sep 9, 2008 in Bamboozling, Barack Obama, Commander in Chief, National Defense, National Security, Sarah Palin | 179 Comments

Involve foreign policy. Not that Obama seems to know this, though. He claimed in an interview with George Stephanopoulos that being the governor of Alaska, with Russia as a next door neighbor, does NOT qualify as foreign relations experience.
Now, apparently going to Pakistan on a school break during college counts, or living in Indonesia [...]

Steve Clemons: Gen. Clark Is Not Welcome at the Democratic National Convention »

By SusanUnPC on Aug 16, 2008 in Barack Obama, Current Affairs, Democratic National Convention, Joseph Wilson, NATO, National Defense, National Security, Obama's Neuroses, Valerie Plame Wilson | 126 Comments

Steve Clemons is one of the classiest and most fair-minded people I know. He makes every effort to always give people the benefit of the doubt. He demonstrates in every action and in all of his writings the “Golden Rule.”
Furthermore, if you’ve ever been lucky enough to have turned on C-Span during [...]

I Imagine That Denver Delegates Will See This RNC Ad »

By SusanUnPC on Jul 8, 2008 in Barack Obama, Electability, Flag officers, Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, Hillary Clinton, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Joseph Wilson, NATO, National Defense, National Security, Qualifications | 471 Comments

This is the latest ad from the RNC. Unfortunately, it effectively encapsulates Obama’s flip-flops on Iraq as well as visibly displaying his hesitancy and uncertainty when confronted with the hard questions:

There is a reason that 30+ flag officers endorsed Hillary Clinton. See:

“More Flag Officers Endorse …“

“Gen. Shelton Endorses, Obama Thinks Rumsfeld OK“ (This [...]

POLLS: Obama’s Obvious Weakness on National Security Takes Its Toll »

By Un coup de des on Jun 25, 2008 in Barack Obama, Electability, Electoral College, John McCain, Missouri, National Defense, National Security | 131 Comments

The boost in the wake of the primaries about which Obama supporters have been gloating has evaporated.  According to Gallup’s three day tracking poll, Obama and McCain are now tied at 45%.
Obama also trails McCain in the important state Missouri by a margin of seven points in a poll Survey USA released today.  McCain has already consolidated [...]

Obama and the Parables of Pooh »

If you ever wondered what an overdose on Cult-Aide looked like just take a peek at today’s UK Telegraph. In an article titled (and no, I am not kidding) Barack Obama aide: Why Winnie the Pooh should shape US foreign policy, Richard Danzig, who rumor has it is being considered as an Obama National Security [...]

An open letter to Senator Obama: »

By CRAIG DELLA PENNA on May 16, 2008 in Barack Obama, Commander in Chief, Current Affairs, DoD, National Defense | 53 Comments

Dear Senator Obama:
I’m very upset by recent statements you have made about funding education by “postponing” elements of the space program. Let me tell you why this is a very ill-advised position.

1. It makes you look like an idiot.
If you do indeed postpone Orion by five years, you have effectively killed it. The [...]

Legitimate questions of judgment, experience »

SANTA FE, N.M. - In recent weeks Americans have been subjected to a litany of outrageous statements from Sen. Barack Obama’s pastor of 20 years, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. While Obama was finally compelled to distance himself from his radical [...]

“American Workers Should Build America’s Defense” »

By SusanUnPC on Apr 16, 2008 in Bush/Cheney, China, Employment, Hillary Clinton, Indiana, National Defense, Pennsylvania, Unemployment, Unions | 62 Comments

In this just-released ad, Hillary argues for protecting American jobs that directly impact our nation’s defense — rather than outsourcing to the Chinese:
Hoosiers for Hillary today launched a new 30-second television ad highlighting Hillary’s plans to protect American defense manufacturing jobs from being sent overseas. The ad features former employees of Magnaquench who lost [...]
