Bin Ladin is dead. Again. In the last ten years he has been reported “killed” at least four times. The only difference this time was that the President of the United States announced the death of the number one terrorist in the world. Above all, this time he was killed not in Tora Bora, not [...]

The Islamabad station chief of the Central Intelligence Agency hastily departed from Pakistan last week after his cover was blown due to a suspected deliberate leak by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence. This act is the latest evidence of the tense relationship between the two spy agencies. It is believed that his cover was blown in retaliation [...]

In almost every briefing pertaining to South Asia, the U.S. Special Envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Ambassador Richard Holbrooke says that he won’t use the ‘K word,’ by which he means Kashmir. This is sensible of him, knowing that any statement could escalate into an exchange of hot words between India and Pakistan (and India [...]

Thousands of protestors (Press TV) are filling the streets across Turkey to protest President Obama’s visit to the NATO ally. Irag is a primary reason — as you’ll see in the video below — as is NATO: [T]he streets were littered with anti-NATO and anti-Obama fliers. “Leave NATO — get rid of the gladiators,” one [...]

Someone’s lack of qualifications and substantive experience is showing — SEE Ambassador Joseph Wilson in Update #2 — and someone is depicting us United States citizens as beggars grateful for insultingly thin gruel while someone (that’d be President Barack Obama [PBO]) is being “played” by leaders of fellow NATO nations who know they can get [...]

Well, the election is over and we all need to figure out next steps. However, while we indulge in mulling, there’s stuff going on. Do you know where one of the “front lines” is in international war / finance / fraud? Computers. At least Obama now knows this first hand. 1)The computer systems of both [...]

Since Barack Obama doesn’t have time to be in D.C. during the intense negotiations over the financial crisis, it’s probably a good thing he really isn’t the chair of the Banking Committee — not that it’s any better that Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) aka “Senator Acorn” is in charge. Besides, as all of you regular [...]

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 one of [...]

Yes, my favorite Presidential candidate, I mean, my favorite Senator from New York, is once again holding Bush’s feet to the fire. And she just turned up the flames… Excerpted from Hillary Rodham Clinton’s editorial in today’s WSJ: In the past few years, the number of corporations flocking to places like the Cayman Islands to [...]

The transcript from Meet the Press where Obama and Brokaw talk right before Obama started his trip back to the US is very interesting. At NQ, we’ve pointed out before that Obama isn’t verbally facile without a teleprompter, and that certainly came through here. Brokaw, with taped bits relating to Obama’s opposition to the surge [...]

UPDATES: Memeorandum.com is tracking the story; CNN’s Political Ticker and several blogs have reported Obama’s (to be polite) misstatement. The Chicago Tribune has picked up the story. I’m certain that MSNBC and Keith Olbermann will be alllllll over this too, especially since Keith constantly criticizes other news networks for not being “fair and balanced.” LATEST [...]

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“ [...]

Published today in the North Carolina News & Observer, May 4, 2008 || Reprinted with express permission _____________________________ SANTA FE, N.M. – In recent weeks Americans have been subjected to a litany of outrageous statements from Sen.

Originally published at Huffington Post. Reprinted with express permission. __________________________________ Senator Obama’s ill-conceived remarks likening small town Americans to embittered guns-and-God bigots have triggered a justifiable furor. Not only are the remarks insulting, but also factually incorrect. As it happens, at the same event in San Francisco, Senator Obama made other remarks, equally startling, insulting [...]
