Israeli military maps Hezbollah bunkers A few thoughts, as you look at those maps of southern Lebanon provided by the IDF to the Washington Post. Israeli intelligence is not an oxymoron. They are only showing us a fraction of what

The US ambassador to the UN and the commander of NATO can fight over “flickers” of al Qaeda and Hezbollah among the Libyan rebels, but it’s clearly indisputable that enemy Hezbollah leader Nasrallah (along with al Qaeda’s Abu Yahya al-Libi

The rebels in Libya suffered a decisive reversal on Wednesday, as Gaddafi’s forces changed tactics. The rebels were forced to pull out of the key oil town of Ras Lanuf, according to the BBC, as well as several other cities.

Only months after becoming the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama embarked on an “American Apology Tour” in the Middle East. The most publicized stop on this tour was in Cairo, Egypt, where Obama shamelessly cowered before the

This is the latest in a series of exclusive interviews with Dr. Paul Kengor, professor at Grove City College, on his latest work, Dupes: How America’s Adversaries Have Manipulated Progressives for a Century, which is based on a remarkable volume

Since this wave of revolutions began in the Middle East thousands of people have lost their lives in their fight for freedom. Leaders of countries like Egypt, Syria, Lybia and Iran have shown little mercy to their people’s right for

A sterile map of the Middle East belies the political and social havoc on the ground. US Security policy should help our friends and hurt our enemies. In the Middle East and North Africa, we are apparently unsure of exactly

What are we to make of the fact that no one has taken credit for Wednesday’s bombing in Jerusalem? Wednesday’s bombing was not a stand-alone event. It was part and parcel of the new Palestinian terror war that is just

Remember when the pundits, columnists and the newsrooms in the dinosaur media were practically jumping out of their shoes touting the Egyptian ‘pro-democracy’ movement? How wonderful it all was, and how Egypt was going to be the new liberal paradise

What Qaddafi has done to his people is morally reprehensible, but why is it any different than events in Sudan, Zimbabwe, Côte d’Ivoire, or Bahrain? More importantly, how does intervention in the conflict meet vital American interests? On the contrary,

Japan’s nuclear crisis may yet get as bad as some have been saying, but, until then, some facts and perspective… The average natural background radiation level is 2,400 microsieverts per year. Human-caused radiation contributes about 5 microsieverts per year, from

It seems that where ever you look in the Arab world you see a revolution these days. The Middle East is changing in front of our eyes. History is in the making. Often in times of change antisemitism raises its

Amid talk on Capitol Hill about defunding public broadcasting–and just after NPR was exposed as willing to take money from the Muslim Brotherhood–it turns out that a film produced by PBS already has. At 5:30 p.m. on March 23, a

President Obama’s visit to South America could help focus attention on Iranian-Venezuelan terror collaboration, according to Roger Noriega, former Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs under President George W. Bush. Noriega (who also served as U.S. ambassador to

The use of military force against Gaddafi is welcome but simultaneously worrisome. Welcome in that American ground troops will not be landing in Tripoli and that US and a coalition of other nations are trying to stop Libya from a

The Obama Administration has stumbled into a regional war (and potentially a world war) in the Middle East. Libya is not a case of democratic reform. And the casual language of “reform by protest” and so-called “universal values” has served

The US’s new war against Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi is the latest sign of its steady regional decline. In media interviews over the weekend, US military chief Adm. Michael Mullen was hard-pressed to explain either the goal of the military
