The United States and its allies are now sitting down–once again– with Iran over Tehran’s nuclear program. What will happen? What should happen? Two recent headlines give us some clues. Three years after the Israelis destroyed the Syrian Al-Kibar nuclear

“Why are we negotiating a bilateral agreement with Russia on nuclear weapons limitations when the threat we face around the world is not just Russia but a resurgent China, North Korea, Iran, possibly other states with nuclear weapons…?” – Amb.

During the 2008 Presidential campaign we were told by Barack Obama that many of our foreign policy problems were our own doing. Anti-Americanism? The result of us (or more specifically George W. Bush) being too heavy-handed. Iran and Venezuela? Exaggerated

No, this is not another article threatening WikiLeaks’ founder Julian Assange with criminal prosecution, imprisonment or even death. To the contrary, before conservatives, libertarians and other independent-minded people “drink the Kool Aid” of our nation’s and the world’s foreign-policy establishment

Widespread banking and economic sanctions against Iran are drying up investments and fomenting internal discord, two top government officials testified before a congressional committee Wednesday. But they acknowledge that, so far, the restrictions have not had the desired effect of

I am still working out why I watch the high dudgeon sparked by Julian Assange and the WikiLeaks dump of a quarter-million State Department cables that has given rise to the most heated, bloodthirsty chorus I have ever heard in

Make no mistake about it, the ongoing WikiLeaks operation against the US is an act of war. It is not merely a criminal offense to publish hundreds of thousands of classified US government documents with malice aforethought. It is an

Bruce Bechtol, author of Defiant Failed State: The North Korean Threat to International Security and adjunct professor at Angelo State University, joins Frank Gaffney to discuss the aggressive North Korean regime. The main stream press is missing the mark on

An accurate dramatization, per State Department cables published by Wikileaks, of how the Obama White House conducts its Middle East diplomacy. It’s not exactly like this, but it’s pretty much exactly like this, ya know? [youtube FhNOWVuSXGE nolink] You’ll be

Early in the sixteenth century, as the Ottoman and Safavid empires fought for control of the Middle East, Selim the Grim ruling from Istanbul indulged his artistic side by composing distinguished poetry in Persian, then the Middle East’s language of

On Sunday afternoon, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange arranged for the release of some 250,000 classified State Department documents via newspapers including the treason-supporting New York Times. The revelations were stunning. The most stunning divulgences: the Saudi royal government asked the

The Center for Security Policy today launched an innovative and interactive Youtube feature exposing the danger that Obama’s New Start Treaty will disarm America in a threatening world of many emerging nuclear powers. Disarmed & Dangerous: Stop the New START

For years now, conventional wisdom has been that when Iran gains access to nuclear weapons, Israel will be in the gravest danger. With the latest Wikileaks document dump, that conventional wisdom may prove as useful as conventional weapons in a

Leaked documents from America’s leftist enemies generally seek to undercut America’s military power. In some respects the new material dumped across the internet and news outlets of America did that. This sad and treasonous behavior will no doubt make it

Lee Smith has a fascinating article over at Tablet. His conclusion: WikiLeaks must be in cahoots with Cheney and Netanyahu because the revelations are a vindication of what the neoconservatives have been saying all along. An excerpt: “Wikileaks founder Julian

It didn’t get nearly as much play as it should have, but Obama’s June 2009 meeting with Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah ended with the monarch flying into a tirade and more or less telling the President to get a grip.

Just scanned the early stories on the Wikileaks document dump — which are themselves scans of the Wikileaks document dump, given that a colossal 251,287 State Department cables have been released in this Internet/media robbery/fencing information-operation. How to assess this

Save START! That is the new rallying point of the national security team of the administration. The New START treaty is getting an extraordinary push to secure ratification prior to the end of the calendar year while Congress is in

First and foremost as a former career Soldier, I have questions. How could this guy be passed on by multiple senior officers? How could anyone have ignored what he was saying and not rather have thrown his ass out of
