In Libya, the Hits Just Keep on Coming
While I correctly predicted that a more democratic government in Muslim countries like Libya would result in increased Islamic radicalism, I could not have imagined it might spell the beginning of an Arab apartheid regime. Today, the New York Times reported … Continue reading

The Wages of a Confused Foreign Policy
Since before the Obama Administration began its confused Libyan campaign, I argued against American involvement for several reasons. For instance, America has no vital interests in Libya and it imported very little of Libya’s oil. I also argued that America’s … Continue reading

Obama Administration Continues Pursuit of Endgame for Libya
In another sign that the Obama administration is moving toward an endgame in Libya, the United States is seeking a refuge for Qaddafi in the event of a settlement. The refuge will likely be in another African nation that has “not signed or … Continue reading

It appears that the Obama administration appears interested in negotiating a cease-fire between the two Libyan camps after all. Of course, Qaddafi’s stepping down will likely be a precondition. Former United States Representative Curt Weldon, who has had diplomatic contact … Continue reading

The GFI Fairy Waves Her Wand at President Obama (Again)
In the Army, every new commander had an irrestible compulsion to make his own, unique mark on the unit. The purpose of these new changes was to show he was in charge. However, sometimes the ideas new officers generated made … Continue reading
