Wednesday, June 29th, 2011 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Multiculturalism, Politics, War and TerrorismThey’re not happy in Gaza. They’re not happy in Egypt. They’re not happy in Tunisia. They’re not happy in Libya. They’re not happy in Morocco. They’re not happy in Iran. They’re not happy in Iraq. They’re not happy in Yemen.

They’re happy in every country that is NOT Muslim.
And whom do they blame?
Not Islam. Not their leadership. Not themselves.
THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES IN WHICH THEY[…]

Thursday, June 2nd, 2011 under Foreign Policy and InternationalMy conclusions re: our current overseas deployments.
1) There is NOTHING in the muslim world worth the life of a single American
2) There is NOTHING in the muslim world - a pre-enlightenment, pre-reformation, pre-industrial-revolution world - worth either the life of a single American or the loss of who-knows-what kind of talent and gifts in their offspring that will never be born
3) To willingly send our best and brightest youth into these battles without a clear will to win, without a goal of unconditional surrender, and with Rules of Engagement that prove the enemy civilians are of more worth than our[…]

Friday, May 6th, 2011 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Miscellaneous, War and TerrorismFrom a friend:
A guy goes into the bar to order a drink.
Bartender asks “What will you have?”
Guy says, “I’ll have an OBL.”
Bartender says, “What is that?”
Guy says, “Osama Bin Laden.”
Bartender says, “How do I make that?”
“Two shots and a splash of water. Go Navy. “

Friday, May 6th, 2011 under Foreign Policy and International, War and TerrorismRecently I sent a cartoonish video to a friend. The video showed some, well, shall we say, ‘less than intelligent’? behavior on the part of those living in what one assumes is South Asia. In reply, my friend asked, “Why is it that we can’t defeat these idiots???”
My reply:
We CAN defeat them any time we CHOOSE to do so.
The US has chosen NOT to go to war in pursuit of national goals since 1945. Nothing we have done on the field of combat since 1945 has been “war.” Armies are tools of policy; destroying an army - national or otherwise[…]

Wednesday, May 4th, 2011 under Domestic, Politics, War and TerrorismWe have a fully-DISengaged president…
If it is NOT true, The One needs to tell us so. And if Hilary and Panetta and Gates don’t tell us this is FALSE, then my view is that it is true. It fits EXACTLY within The One’s character - or lack thereof - and fully-comports with his voting record:
“….present…..”
– at least now we have a closer glimpse into who runs Obama : Jarrett…
ANY GOP candidate needs to start using the absolute disengagement of the President in the highest realm of his duties, National Security, on the campaign trail - now and constantly.

German press reacts to the Standard & Poor’s downgrade
Steve McCann
Standard and Poor’s downgrades its outlook on America’s AAA debt rating from stable to negative. The President continues his demagoguery against the Republicans and continues to beat the drum of class warfare. The Democrats in the Senate are content to thwart any meaningful spending reductions. With [this] as a backdrop what is being said overseas about the ongoing Washington Follies?
Germany is the dominant economic power in Europe and is what is keeping the Euro zone from complete collapse, considering the never-ending saga of Greek insolvency, Irish and Portuguese bailouts[…]

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011 under Foreign Policy and International, War and TerrorismObama has told the world (and the US Congress via the newspapers), that “regime change” in Libya is the policy of the US, that Qaddafi “must go,” etc., etc., blah blah blah.
Really?
Nahh… He’s just kidding. Really.
Here’s what we are doing in Libya: Creating and enforcing a no-fly zone by launching 110 (to-date), $569,000 cruise missiles at sand dunes, AA radar sites and various Command and Control sites. So that’s about $62.5M in cruise missiles so far…. (This is actually a deal; the FY11 price for the next block is $1.066M per copy. Maybe using these up lets the Navy increase its[…]
Continue ReadingDoes even Obama know what he’s doing in Libya?
Sunday, March 20th, 2011 under Foreign Policy and International, War and TerrorismIf you find yourself wondering what Obama is doing in Libya… join the club.
He has joined - but not as the leader (and let our new Foreign Policy President Hilary announce it) - a coalition of forces to enforce a no-fly zone and begun sending missiles targeting Libyan forces - without even bothering to check with or get a vote from Congress. Evidently only Republicans need to get Congressional approval before sending forces out to engage in foreign civil wars.
He has destroyed Libyan AA capability with Tomahawks (something the Brits could have done) as protection of the no-fly pilots. But he also[…]

Sunday, January 30th, 2011 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, Politics… and in the largest and most significant under-reported and under-analyzed irony of our young century…
American Democrats are calling for support for Egyptians who are demanding individual freedom, personal liberty, free markets and self-government… as those same American Democrats insist on taking away from American citizens… you guessed it: individual freedom, personal liberty, free markets and self-government… in the name of … Progressivism.
So I guess that means Americans, who have the world’s longest history of self-government, are not qualified for self-government, but Egyptians, who have approximately zero history of self-government ARE qualified for it.
Such is what passes for “thinking” on the Left.
Now, Progressivism[…]

Friday, January 28th, 2011 under Domestic, Foreign Policy and International, PoliticsEspecially following that disastrous SOTU, it is increasingly, glaringly, evident the damage Obama has done and will continue to do as he consciously and purposefully destroys America.

The Rest of the World and Obama
By Steve McCann
One of the primary narratives of the Democrats and the media during the entire tenure of the George W. Bush’s term was that the United States was held in historically low regard throughout the rest of the world. This became, after “Bush lied,” the second-most frequently repeated talking point. Whether there was any basis for this claim was immaterial; it was a handy cudgel for[…]
