War on Terror - Page 6

In the four years Big Hollywood’s been online, we’ve argued, fought, debated, and on more than one occasion, went to war with the entertainment industry over this and that. This includes Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow over her anti-troop film,

Lest anyone think liberal politics don’t factor into the names read aloud on Oscar night, consider the case of David Clennon. The veteran actor, perhaps best known for a recurring role on “Thirtysomething,” proudly published an op-ed proclaiming his opposition

As President Obama continues to seem focused on putting Senator John Kerry (D-MA) forward for Secretary of State, it’s worth asking what kind of world Kerry desires to see. How will he handle our enemies and what will he say

Rep. Dennis Kucinich, (D-Ohio), whose spaceship should be landing any day now to take him back to the planet Zaxxon, called for a federal “Department of Peace” in the aftermath of the Newtown, Connecticut massacre. Kucinich blathered that there is

The military was highly politicized during the Vietnam War, and our troops were the worse for it. Instead of learning the hard lessons taught by the mistakes of the 1960s and early 70s, our military has undergone another wave of

By JILL LAWLESSAssociated PressLONDONThe war on terror is not an endless conflict and the U.S. is approaching a “tipping point” after which the military fight against al-Qaida will be replaced by a law enforcement and intelligence operation, the Pentagon’s top

North Africa is quickly turning into something we’ve seen before — a haven for terror groups and perhaps even the next ground zero in the War on Terror. The groundwork for this disaster began to be laid in 2006, when

I was obviously depressed in the immediate wake of last week’s defeat. Even worse than another four years of Obama was the notion that the electorate had changed in a fundamental way. It looked like I was wrong about the

Medal of Honor: Warfighter delivers a harrowing and unflinching story of American Special Forces soldiers racing to thwart a new terrorist threat while providing a deep and balanced multi-player suite for online players. Warfighter, developed by Danger Close Games and

World leaders on Wednesday hailed President Barack Obama’s sweeping re-election, with allies pledging to deepen cooperation with the United States on fighting the world economic slump and maintaining security across the globe. Congratulations poured in from across the world, including

For every Kid Rock or Clint Eastwood there are dozens, maybe hundreds, of celebrities voting for President Barack Obama today. That’s their choice. But is it a wise one for their short-term careers? Sure, an A-list type feels awfully good voting

Hollywood long ago took notice of author Nelson DeMille’s bestselling novels. John Travolta starred in the 1999 film “The General’s Daughter,” the highest profile project drawn from one of DeMille’s yarns. The small screen tapped two of DeMille’s works since

Rep. Tammy Baldwin from Madison, Wisconsin, has been trying for more than 10 years to create a federal Department of Peace and Nonviolence. Since 2001, she has co-sponsored legislation four times (2001, 2005, 2007, and 20090 with wacko Dennis Kucinich

One question that did not come up in Monday’s foreign policy debate was the President’s use of drones to target specific individuals, including American citizens, for death – aka, the president’s “kill list.” When asked about it in the spin room

In the opening sequence of Monday night’s presidential debate in Boca Raton, FL, Gov. Mitt Romney criticized President Barack Obama’s strategy in the global war on terror by suggesting “we can’t kill our way out of this mess.”

There’s a reason why readers clamor for author Nelson DeMille’s John Corey. The anti-terror warrior gets the job done, ignores political correctness and never makes excuses for protecting his fellow Americans. In “The Panther,” DeMille’s sixth John Corey adventure, our

On Oct 19 President Obama delivered a speech claiming Al Qaeda is nearing defeat. On that same day, Al Qaeda delivered an attack on a Yemeni army base that killed 24. Obama told a cheering crowd: “Four years ago, I

Author Nelson DeMille says we need a Churchillian leader to rally the West in the fight against global terrorism. President Barack Obama hardly qualifies, says DeMille, the best-selling author behind “The General’s Daughter,” “The Gold Coast” and the new terrorism

War films have come up with some of the most poignant and dramatic scenes in all of cinema. Some moviescan boast more than one such scene that sticks in a person’s mind. Which of these scenes have been themost memorable?

Former VP Dick Cheney said the Obama administration’s handling of Benghazi looks like a cover-up and that Obama’s claim to victory in the War on Terror is “hogwash” in a Tuesday radio interview. Cheney told radio host Sean Hannity: “It looks

Denver is a very blue city in a state best described as purple. Drive around town and you’re likely to see Obama-Biden lawn signs and Obama 2012 bumper stickers in vast numbers. Tonight, the Mile High City welcomed the candidates

As Pakistan’s mullahs railed against a US-made anti-Islam film, Naveed Haider’s print works went into overdrive, running off hundreds of US flags for angry protesters to burn at demonstrations. Weeks of protests in Pakistan over the crudely made “Innocence of

On August 9, 2001, a bomb blast pulverized a Sbarro Pizzeria located at the corner of King George Street and Jaffa Road in Jerusalem, one of the busiest pedestrian crossings in Israel.  The blast occurred at 2 pm, on a

With “Person of Interest,” creator Jonathan Nolan joins the ranks of the few filmmakers today that have earned something special with their audiences: trust. That’s a quality that the few Clint Eastwoods and Christopher Nolans possess today. Most of what

When Naval Institute Press decided to publish “The Hunt for Red October” in 1983, few ever imagined the book would become a hit, much less create a literary genre. But it did, and as a result, author Tom Clancy took

It’s tough to watch late night TV these days. David Letterman is just a bitter, angry old man. Jimmy Kimmel will take advantage of the “Late Show” host’s decline once ABC moves “Nightline” out of his way, but that doesn’t

The first Muslim to deliver the daily prayer to the U.S. House of Representatives was black convert Siraj Wahaj in 1991. It was an artful prayer, though he would deliver a very different message elsewhere just one year later. His ideas

Tom Selleck is widely regarded as one of the most popular actors in television today. Currently starring in CBS’s “Blue Bloods,” he has also been recently known for the Jesse Stone TV movies as well as his guest-starring stint on

In August 2004, President Bush seemed an underdog in his race for reelection. Already a polarizing figure for a large segment of the population, the war in Iraq was becoming increasingly unpopular, while the media did all it could to

I was honored to co-host this year’s Troopathon 2012, which was held in memory of this site’s publisher, my late mentor and friend, Andrew Breitbart. Organized by Move America Forward, we raised over $371,000 dollars. Funds raised go towards providing

The hack job that TNT’s “Rizzoli & Isles” recently did on fracking seems all too typical of the way Hollywood covers most political issues. One side is presented, and if data is used, it is usually of the junk science

I readily enjoyed the first episode of HBO’s latest series, “The Newsroom,” and looked forward to seeing what show creator Aaron Sorkin, the screenwriter behind “The West Wing” and “Moneyball,” had in mind for episode two. For the uninitiated, “The

In August 2009 the Obama administration quit using the phrase “War on Terror,” and in April 2012 the administration pronounced the war on terror over altogether. Somebody forgot to tell Al Qaeda that the war was over, because their plan

After two weeks dominated by gaffes in which Bill Clinton publiclyundercut the President’s campaign strategy, Obama now has anotherex-President to deal with. Jimmy Carter wrote an op-edfor Monday’s New York Times which is critical of recent changes in theway America

More than 500 days ago, Breitbart News’ Big Peace published my article, Special Forces Units Ignore Bureaucratic Memo and Save Lives. Today, I’m only a few months away from publishing The Clapper Memo, my second nonfiction book in which I expose how that
