Iraq Bombings Aim at Voting Plan | February 12, 2004
New al-Qaeda bombings are intended to intimidate the UN from running Iraqi elections. Why? Because the terrorists know the UN has a long record of cowardice in Iraq. In contrast, this report highlights the courage and resolve of Iraqi policemen.(->)
Undeclared Centrifuge Design Found in Iran | February 12, 2004
America's intelligence achievement in discovering AQ Khan's nuclear-secrets network—which is already helping us to unmask Iran's nuclear-weapons program—merely highlights our policy failures. This report shows how America is unwilling to take decisive action against the sources of nuclear proliferation in Pakistan, Iran, and Malaysia (not to mention North Korea).(->)
A Kinder View of Uncle Sam | February 12, 2004
This report from Iran is horribly flawed—for example, the author regards friendlier diplomacy between the Iranian theocracy and the US as a good thing. But the startling part of the story is more evidence of a positive view of the US on the Iranian "street"—despite the country's inundation in anti-American slogans.(->)
Letter Seeks al-Qaeda Aid in Iraq | February 10, 2004
An extraordinary moment in the War on Terrorism: the enemy's strategy in Iraq is spelled out on the front pages of America's newspapers. And yes, this letter shows we are winning the war, as the enemy laments his "suffocation" by US and Iraqi forces.(->)
Speech of CIA Director George Tenet | February 5, 2004
Not enough attention has been given to this speech by CIA Director George Tenet, which thoroughly undercuts the myth of a massive American "intelligence failure" regarding Iraq's weapons programs.(->)
"Rings" Final Chapter Leads Oscar Race | January 27, 2004
A good sign for America's "cultural barometer": the two most-nominated films for this year's Academy Awards, The Return of the King and Master and Commander, are films with heroic themes. (See the official Oscar site for a complete list of nominations.)(->)
Judge Throws Out Slavery Reparations Suit | January 27, 2004
A massive lawsuit demanding reparations for slavery—a pernicious attempt at legalized looting—is systematically rejected by a federal judge, who "found the complaint lacking on every major legal issue raised."(->)
Tehran Terrorfest | January 26, 2004
Next week, a gang of terrorist will gather to meet in Iran, highlighting that country's role as the chief global supporter of terrorism. This meeting would be an ideal target for a B-2 bombing run. So what happened to the Bush Doctrine?(->)
MPs on Verge of Resigning as Iran Crisis Deepens | January 26, 2004
Iran plunges into political crisis as reformers threaten to suspend elections that have been turned into a sham by an Islamist decree blocking pro-freedom candidates.(->)
Kerry's Good Intentions | January 24, 2004
This interesting op-ed shows the pattern of leading Democratic candidate John Kerry's career: occasional deviations from the conventional wisdom—followed by a return to pandering to his party's leftist core.(->)
White House Moves to Impose Quotas on Chinese Textiles | November 18, 2003
A quintessential example of nonsensical Bush administration pragmatism: Bush attacks free trade to pander to special interests in the South. Why? Because "he will need votes from Republican House members from this region in order to pass upcoming free trade agreements."(->)
Wider Split Between US and Europe Over Iran | November 18, 2003
The title of this article is hopelessly misleading. It actually reports that European leaders have declared their intention to coddle the Iranian theocracy, while US Secretary of State Colin Powell declares only that he "wouldn't have gone quite as far."(->)
Cleric Charged With Aiding Al Qaeda | November 18, 2003
This story skips quickly over its two most interesting points. First, Yemen shows its true colors by objecting to the arrest of a man who raised money for Hamas and al-Qaeda. Second, Sheik Moayad raised this money from American Muslims—giving the lie to political correct platitudes about benevolent "moderate" Muslims.(->)
UN Group Seeks Control of Internet | November 18, 2003
In a grand-scale attempt at global looting, the UN tries to steal the Internet. The good news: US diplomats are resisting. The bad news: they are resisting on the grounds that private ownership will "better serve poor countries."(->)
Terror-Tied by Memo | November 18, 2003
The real case against Iraq, as a sponsor of al-Qaeda terrorism, is vindicated. Too bad the Bush administration spent so much time basing its case solely on weapons of mass destruction.(->)
Deadly Bombing of Saudi Homes Sours Al Qaeda Sympathizers | November 11, 2003
The Saudis get a second wake-up call. But note that this new Saudi anti-terrorist zeal is driven by a mentality that supported killing when it was targeted against those outside their racial and religious group.(->)
Bush's Steel Opening | November 11, 2003
This Wall Street Journal editorial correctly urges President Bush to drop his politically opportunistic steel tariffs. More important, it highlights the destructive short-sightedness of protectionism.(->)
Iran Had Secret Nuclear Program, UN Agency Says | November 11, 2003
The UN manages to expose Iranian lying about their nuclear weapons programs. So why is President Bush still waiting on events?(->)
US Shifts to War Footing in Iraq's "Sunni Triangle" | November 10, 2003
This crackdown is good news. But the emphasis on making a "show of force"—e.g., bombing empty buildings—is an ominous indicator that commanders are seeking a compromise between the necessity for strong action and the political unpopularity of actually killing people.(->)
CIA Says North Korea Already Has "Validated" Nuke | November 8, 2003
This demonstrates the folly of sitting around and negotiating for decades while a dictatorship builds nuclear weapons. So why are there no plans for a US invasion of Iran?(->)
Message to Sharon | October 15, 2003
This hard-hitting editorial in the Jerusalem Post advocates, finally, the only real answer to the crisis in Israel: "the inevitable reconquest of the Palestinian-controlled areas."(->)
Gaza Strip Blast Kills Three Americans | October 15, 2003
What this attack blew up was the fiction that America can allow anti-Israeli terrorism to fester, while escaping attack ourselves. And notice who is most likely behind this attack: our real nemesis, Iran.(->)
Pentagon Rushed Arabic Translators | October 15, 2003
The latest news in the real spy scandal. But the story is not just that the Pentagon "rushed" its search for Arabic translators. It is the politically correct fear of exposing Muslim organizations as traitorous.(->)
Bin Laden Son Plays Key Role in Al Qaeda | October 14, 2003
The real story in this piece is not that bin Laden's son has emerged as an al-Qaeda leader. The story is the open acknowledgment that he "is managing the terrorist organization from Iran."(->)
