Anyone (like Barack Obama) entertaining ideas of western democracies establishing friendly relations with the radicals of the Islamic world should watch this video. While watching the inflammatory rhetoric of the speaker, remember that this is not a jahidist from Iran but a professor from Kuwait – a country with every reason to be grateful to [...]

I was looking for a little sign of love, peace, and maybe the beginnings of a better future for some troubled spot on the planet. It’s rather like searching for a needle in a haystack. Then I stumbled upon this small story in the New York Times. Maybe it means little and maybe it is [...]

Editor’s Note: Steve Clemons’ blog is The Washington Note; read more about Steve below. ****************************************** Peter Berkowitz‘s essay in the latest issue of the Weekly Standard provides good insight into what I think is the strategic irresponsibility of those in Israel’s leadership who think that they can hold steady on a course that justifies failure [...]

First things first: Lest there be any confusion among New York Times reporters, here is what Hillary Clinton says at the conclusion of the press conference: “We are going to report to the President in the next day.” “We,” not “he.” (The full text is below the fold.) Here is Reuters’ video report on the [...]

VIDEO OF INTERVIEW in White House: Obama’s first interview as president (Al-Arabiya TV exclusive) Hisham Melhem (our bureau chief here in the DC office)conducted this exclusive interview with president Barack Obama. (I like what he says at the beginning of part 2, about the “bankrupt” ideas of Al Qaeda.) Jake Tapper has the lead print [...]

(bumped up by Susan) “Hamas officials were set to hold talks in Cairo with Egyptian mediators to hear the Israeli response to proposals put forward by the Islamist group that rules the Gaza Strip. Hamas has offered a one-year, renewable truce on condition that all Israeli forces leave Gaza within a week and that [...]

UPDATE: This is not a personal indictment of anyone or any nation. It is information. Take it in, approve it, reject it. That is up to you alone. A reader found the YouTube. We viewed it and decided it was important. Just as we found and posted several stories about attacks throughout Europe and Asia [...]

Maybe here? And here? And here? And here? And here? And in dozens and dozens more stories here at No Quarter, where we provided 24/7 political coverage throughout the primaries and general election, focusing appropriate and highly-detailed attention on Barack Obama’s longtime relationships with radicals like Rashid Khalidi. The two men were (are?) close friends, [...]

I realize that the U.S. Air landing in the Hudson was a miracle and required great thinking by the crew, heroism by crew, passengers and rescuers, and extensive prior training to save all lives. But I was also disgusted that the cable news outlets blacked out all other news stories today. And let’s face it: [...]

If the BBC is to be believed, IDF soldiers are deliberately shooting women and children in Gaza. Their TV reporting from the scene today interviewed doctors in hospitals who asked the obvious rhetorical question as to why they have children patients with multiple small arms wounds. One child had two bullets in the head. In the [...]

France is under seige, with numerous fire bombings of synagogues. A Jewish student group has reported “55 anti-Semitic attacks in France since Gaza attack,” according to Pakistan Dawn. Reuters reports that “faith leaders” across France from “Jewish, Muslim and Roman Catholic faiths,” have met with President Nicolas Sarkozy to issue a plea for calm. Mohamed [...]

“The most frightening dangers come from four sources: fire, water, wind, and old men.” So goes the ancient Chinese saying, reminding us that decisions leaders make—most of them by old men—often endanger the innocents no matter which side or who started the fight. Bernard-Henri Levy’s striking essay, Liberate the Palestinians from Hamas , seeks to [...]

I have to admit that I feel kinda sorry for the guy. I would for any President buying into our current crises (of which there are far more than pictured here), but especially for one who has no experience in dealing with any of them. I wonder if (or how often) our President-Elect says to [...]

No matter where you fall on the Israel/Gaza issue, and I know people have strong feelings on both sides, two events this past weekend are disturbing. They are disturbing because we have been down this road before. And this is a road down which we never want to go again, not Israel, not Palestine, not [...]
