Obama purged the Pentagon during his presidency. Recent events give us an insight into the anti-American mindset of those whom he left in place. Do you remember when Obama started purging the upper echelons in the Pentagon, sometimes under cover of law, sometimes under cover of darkness? After the pullout
Continue readingSome of my harder-Left friends on Facebook are going crazy with posters again, so I thought this would be a good time to deconstruct a few of them. Let’s start with this one, which requires its own post. (Incidentally, the fact that it takes just one sentence to spin out
Continue readingI finally got around to watching Zero Dark Thirty, the film about the decade-long hunt for bin Laden. Before it came out, conservatives were concerned because the White House gave the filmmakers unprecedented access to information about the hunt and about the actual hit on bin Laden. This opened up
Continue readingWhen Don Quixote and I talked yesterday about Obama’s use of the bin Laden raid as a campaign talking point, he pointed out that any sitting president who is running for reelection would use the raid as a talking point. I agree. The problem isn’t that Obama politicized the raid,

Given bin Laden’s fanaticism, his sadism, his isolation, his personal and religious misogyny, all of this comes across across as totally believable. It also puts me strongly in mind of this story, from several years ago, tell about the way
Continue readingThe narrative about a maddened Osama racing out firing an AK47 is starting to unravel. The truth, one that the Obama White House didn’t want the base to hear, is that the Navy SEALS had orders: kill Osama. The question is why kill him? Why not capture him and get
Continue readingI’ve been reading a lot about Osama’s death, including a bunch of emails from friends who are wondering about peculiarities and anomalies in the story that Obama, his White House, and his lap dog press are releasing to the public. My thoughts: Our questions and concerns about the details of
Continue readingOn the subject of Osama’s death, I send you to Bruce Kesler and add “what he said.” I’m with those who think it’s ironic that Osama was killed on Obama’s watch, because, aside from continuing Bush’s policies, he’s had nothing to do with the hunt for Osama, and has been
