Your email:
According to Dick Morris, he is. Morris writes that a report is out ”that CIA chief Leon Panetta, who recently took time out from his day job (feuding with Nancy Pelosi) to travel to Israel ‘read the riot act’ to the government warning against an attack on Iran.” If this is true, then Obama is [...]
The Sheepishly Gassy Answer to Global Warming?
Your email:
Could it be? Is the major contributor to global warming caused by sheep gas? I mean if it’s true, what can we say about all those cars that release tons of pollutants into the air? W0w!
Well the New Zealanders, those pesky sheep herders causing havoc in the bottom of the world believe so, and even the [...]
Hugo Chavez El Presidente for Life?
Your email:
Unfortunately, Venezuela’s President and Pseudo-Dictator Hugo Chavez won his referendum to remove term limitations in his quest to stay in power forever. This man is the bane of U.S. foreign policy, by rallying anti-American forces in Latin America and the Third World. His oil reserves so far has afforded him the ability to finance [...]
Middle East Peace – No Chance Until Gaza is Fixed
Your email:
In Israel’s latest election, the consensus is that the idea of Land for Peace is not dead, but it’s in a coma until Gaza is fixed. U.S. policymakers should take note of this. When Obama was elected, the usual analysis came out wondering whether Obama can deliver a peace deal, who the Middle East [...]
The U.N. Hates Israel
Your email:
Succumbing to pressure, the U.N. has reversed its claim that Israel targeted U.N. protected schools in the recent Gaza conflict. See UN backtracks on claim that deadly IDF strike hit Gaza school (Haaretz, 2/3/09). I am surprised that the U.N. even bothered issuing any retraction at all. Regardless, considering the fact that the U.N. drummed up [...]

A Trillion Dollar Disaster
Your email:
Word has just come out that Zimbabwe has issued a 10 trillion dollar note, and will soon issue a 100 trillion dollar note. I can go on and on about the disaster going on in Zimbabwe: Robert Mugabe dictatorship, inflation, health care disaster, poverty, wrecked economy, hopelessness, starvation, and so on.

Crossing Israel’s Breaking Point Yields Unity and Success
Your email:
Enduring Hamas missiles aimed at its civilians for over eight years, Israel has had enough. In other words, Hamas hit Israel’s breaking point, and now should be quite sorry it did. This war has unified Israel’s mainstream political spectrum in dealing with Gaza and Hamas. And when Israel has consensus in a matter, it acts [...]
Hamas Traps and Tricks
Your email:
Today, Steven Erlanger in the New York Times reported about traps and tricks used by Israel and Hamas in the current war over Gaza. See Gaza War is Full of Traps and Trickery By Both Hamas and Israel (1/11/09). What is remarkable are the “traps and tricks” employed by Hamas:
