Abandoning Israel, Embracing Iran
Monday Sep 30, 2013
Monday Sep 30, 2013
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets today with President Obama who, last week, decided to negotiate with an Iranian regime committed to the destruction of the State of Israel. What is more, the negotiations are predicated on a lie, namely that the mullahs in Tehran have no intention of acquiring nuclear weapons. The Israeli leader will reportedly share detailed intelligence to the contrary. But President Obama has as much as said “Don’t bother me with the facts.” He actively dislikes Benjamin Netanyahu and his administration has had the most strained relations with the Jewish State of any since its founding in 1948. The upshot is likely to be the further isolation of Israel at an exceedingly dangerous moment – one being made more so by our buying Iran’s nuclear lies.

Ted Cruz's Finest Hour
Friday Sep 27, 2013
Friday Sep 27, 2013
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.Senate Republican leaders are furious with one of their most junior colleagues, Senator Ted Cruz of Texas. For one thing, he’s embarrassed them by being – literally – a stand-up guy for millions of Americans opposed to Obamacare. In fact, for over twenty-one hours, Sen. Cruz stood up against this plan to socialize America’s health care system.The Senate Republican establishment is even more angry with Ted Cruz because he has demonstrated a quality of scrappy, principled leadership too often absent in what passes for the Loyal Opposition. And worst of all, they know the American people are increasingly disgusted with that establishment.A critical vote for Obamacare is taking place today. If you haven’t already done so, urge your Senators to stand with Senator Cruz. And if you have, please do it again.This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

"Unenforceable" International Laws
Thursday Sep 26, 2013
Thursday Sep 26, 2013
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.President Obama warned this week that the United Nations is in danger of proving itself “incapable of enforcing the most basic of international laws.” In fact, the UN is incapable of enforcing international laws. That’s especially the case when veto-wielding members of the Security Council like Russia and China insist on shielding those who violate such “laws.” Moscow and Beijing regard such regimes not as perpetrators, but as clients.More to the point, international law is not like criminal law in this country. It tends to bind only nations like ours, not rogue states. Pretending international treaties and “norms” actually can be relied upon to protect us is national security fraud. The fact that such arrangements are utterly “unenforceable” merely compounds the danger inherent in doing so.This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Learn more at SecureFreedom.org.

Another Bad UN Treaty
Wednesday Sep 25, 2013
Wednesday Sep 25, 2013
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.Secretary of State John Kerry today will sign a deeply problematic new United Nations treaty. Its stated purpose is to limit the sale and transfer of small arms and other weapons.Such UN accords claim to create international norms protecting innocent civilians. In practice, though, they wind up binding only nations like ours that abide by their international obligations. They often infringe upon our sovereignty, as well.This treaty will surely complicate our ability to support our friends like Israel, whose security is bolstered by our reliable supply of weapons. It may also become a pretext for interfering with our right to bear arms here at home. The U.S. Senate seems unlikely to approve this ill-conceived treaty. Just by signing it, though, Team Obama is committing us to submit to its restrictions. Bad idea.This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Learn more at SecureFreedom.org.

Rewarding Rouhani
Tuesday Sep 24, 2013
Tuesday Sep 24, 2013
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.President Obama is expected today to reward the government of Iran for its worldwide support for terrorism, subversion and nuclear ambitions. Oh, that’s not how it will be presented to the American people, of course.Instead, we’ll be told that the newly elected Iranian president, Hassan Rouhani, has earned a handshake or perhaps even a meeting with Mr. Obama. How? By shutting down his country’s covert nuclear weapons program? By abandoning Iran’s terrorist allies and their state sponsors? Or by ending Tehran’s efforts to dominate the region and threaten Israel?Nope. Rouhani has done none of these things. He has simply put on a charming façade, dissembled and outright lied. Reward such behavior, President Obama, and you will get more of it – and a lot more danger from Iran and its friends.This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.

CAIR's Civilizational Jihad
Monday Sep 23, 2013
Monday Sep 23, 2013
This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute.A murderous jihadist attack on a Kenyan mall prompts the question: Could it happen here? Unfortunately, it could.But there’s another kind of jihad already being waged against us in this country. It’s the stealthy, pre-violent kind the Muslim Brotherhood calls “civilization jihad.” And the Brotherhood’s Council on American Islamic Relations is a prime practitioner.Last week, CAIR railed against efforts to keep shariah law from being used in U.S. courts. Then, we learned that some FBI agents were still meeting with and taking advice from CAIR operatives, despite explicit direction from superiors not to do that. Now, the Daily Caller reports, CAIR’s Islamists seem to be engaged in money-laundering foreign funds to pay for civilization jihad here. Like jihadists in Kenya and elsewhere, CAIR’s must be stopped – not tolerated or appeased.This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Learn more at SecureFreedom.org.
