Obama's Triple Play

President Obama has blocked construction of the “shovel-ready” Keystone XL pipeline. This amounts to a triple-play against America’s energy security and for her present and prospective enemies.
First, it perpetuates our country’s reliance on energy from easily interrupted overseas sources. Incredibly, Mr. Obama is doing that just as Iran is threatening to block the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
Second, the Keystone decision condemns us to the continued transfer of immense national wealth to the OPEC cartel and others deeply hostile to us.
And third, the Canadian oil we could have is likely to go to China – significantly strengthening a nation Mr. Obama says we must pivot our shrinking defenses to counter.
Condemning us to intensifying energy insecurity is a lousy legacy for Barack Obama – and a catastrophe for the rest of us.

Pearl Harbor Remembered

Seventy years ago today, enemies surprised America with an attack that killed nearly 2,400 of our people at Pearl Harbor. We were suddenly propelled into World War II, the worst global cataclysm ever. It concluded only when we achieved the unconditional surrender of those who struck us on December 7, 1941.
Ten years ago, enemies surprised us again with attacks aimed at New York and Washington, D.C. that killed almost 3,000. The resulting War for the Free World continues a decade later. But our present enemies’ unconditional surrender is nowhere in sight.
Unfortunately, far worse surprise attacks may now be in the offing. These could involve electro-magnetic pulse or cyber warfare against our electricity-dependent infrastructure, or biological agents unleashed on our population. We may never recover from – and cannot allow – such surprises.

Presidential Ignorance

Is expertise on national security and foreign policy a prerequisite for the presidency? The answer obviously should be a resounding “Yes” – especially in a world as dangerous as ours.
Until recently, though, most politicians, pundits and other so-called “smart people” insisted that this election was all about jobs, the economy and deficit reduction. Period.
Then, GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain seemed unaware that Communist China has the bomb. Suddenly, the elites warn that the White House is no place for on-the-job-training about the nation’s defense.
Unfortunately, the same could be said of Barack Obama. He came into the presidency understanding little about security policy. He still seems largely clueless – particularly about the danger posed by his embrace of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The American people deserve better – and better insist on getting it.

DHS Guidelines For Fighting America's Enemies

Imagine if, during the Cold War, Soviet intelligence had been responsible for training those charged with countering communist aggression? Surely, we would not have defeated the USSR.
Yet, today, the Obama administration is entrusting to agents of the Muslim Brotherhood the responsibility for approving who and what is used to give counter-terrorism training to our military, law enforcement and intelligence personnel.
That’s right, under guidelines recently promulgated by the Department of Homeland Security, self-styled “leaders” of the Muslim-American community must be consulted and approve such training. The federal government has proven in court that such leaders and their organizations are – virtually without exception – tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization whose mission is “destroying Western civilization from within, by [our own] hands.”
These lunatic guidelines invite disaster, and must be rejected.
