Paradoxical President
The Obama administration has offered a number of recent fantasies. Here are a few examples. Continue reading “Fantasies, Present and Future”
Libya Is Not Iraq
by Victor Davis Hanson
National Review Online
The Left is terribly embarrassed about the US intervention in Libya. We have preemptively attacked an Arab Muslim nation that posed little threat to the national-security interests of the United States. Continue reading “Libya Is Not Iraq”
Libya: The Genesis of a Bad Idea
by Victor Davis Hanson
PJ Media
The president spoke Monday night to clarify our intervention in Libya. Instead he made things worse, and could not explain the mission (are we/are we not after Qaddafi?), the methodology to achieve it (are we in a no-fly-zone or are we bombing ground targets essential to save the rebels?), and the desired outcome (who are the “rebels,” what do we wish from them, and are they better than Qaddafi?). Indeed, after almost two weeks, these questions still have not been asked much less answered. Continue reading “Libya: The Genesis of a Bad Idea”

Continue reading “The Put-Off, Postpone and Procrastinate Generation”

America seems trapped in an exploding Middle East minefield.
Revolts are breaking out amid the choke points of world commerce. Shiite populations are now restive in the Gulf monarchies. Continue reading “Caught in the Middle East Minefield”
After Obama, the Deluge
by Victor Davis Hanson
Tribune Media Services
President Obama established a bipartisan debt-reduction commission — and then ignored its findings, which called for unpopular reductions in entitlements and across-the-board spending cuts. Continue reading “After Obama, the Deluge”

The Chrysalis Opens
The new Barack Obama has learned not to offer instantaneous editorial commentary in the fashion of his past editorializing on hearing of the Skip Gates [1] affair, the Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab [2] bombing attempt, the Ground Zero mosque controversy, or the Maj. Hasan [3] mass murdering. Continue reading “The Post-Tucson Era”
