There’s Something Rotten…

By Dave in EH / December 2, 2010 /

…in the Nation of Sweden, with all due apologies to the Bard, and it stinks like the Chicago at low tide.  It is Wikileaks and its founder, Julian Assange.  Mr. Assange, for those who haven’t heard, is the Australian hacker “Internet activist” who has decided that it is his mission to play “cop of the…

I am Spartacus … the Libyan edition

By Jim Vicevich / March 25, 2011 /

If this weren’t so serious, it would be absurd. Come to think of it, it is absurd. In an attempt to meet the One’s deadline of “days not weeks”,  Hillary Clinton, in a hastily called press conference, handed off command operations for the Libyan no-fly zone to NATO. What makes this all so absurd is…

Breaking: Four Americans including US Ambassador reported killed in Libya

By Steve McGough / September 12, 2012 /

Arab Fall. Radical Islamic fundamentalists showed their intolerance and hate towards America and the free people of the world again. The Embassy in Cairo was infiltrated, and four Americans at the Libyan Embassy were killed after a movie – of unknown origin – was rumored to insult Muhammad. These rumors give rise to direct attacks on…

Who’s in charge here? The Obama edition UPDATE: Mission not accomplish?

By Jim Vicevich / March 23, 2011 /

Hard to say … all I know is it won’t be us, in days not weeks. Right? Last night Newt Gingrich told Sean he thinks this entire Libyan campaign has been botched as bad as any and so far it’s hard to argue with that?

Obama foreign policy … “It’s amateur night”

By Steve McGough / March 17, 2011 /

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is getting tired. Certainly, there are a tremendous number of world events that are stretching the State Department’s abilities, but it does not help if you have a boss that can’t seem to make a decisive decision on anything other than sports picks.

Video- Libya air attack video on Fox News Crew

By Jim Vicevich / March 7, 2011 /

I have no idea if a “no fly zone” is a good idea to help the revolutionaries in Libya, but it certainly is the kind of bold move you might expect from a President. But if the young President needed a reason to step in and ground the Libyan Air Force, such as it is,…

Libya and Egypt in violation of United Nations treaty

By Steve McGough / September 12, 2012 /

Some of you may be asking “where were the Marines?” That’s a good question, but I want to know where was the perimeter security for the US Embassies that were attacked.

Who’s in charge here? (Part 2) – Germany pulls forces out of Mediterranean NATO presence

By Steve McGough / March 23, 2011 /

As a follow up to Jim’s post this morning, I’m kind of wondering why the United States media machine is not covering – at all it seems – the fact that Germany pulled forces out of NATO in fear they would be drawn into the conflict with Libya.

Failure is an option?

By Jim Vicevich / March 22, 2011 /

There’s been no shortage of criticism of Obama’s decision to set up a no fly zone/air strike on Libya and I think much of it is deserved. I mean, if he wanted to stop civilian killings, why not make this move weeks ago when not only you would have saved lives … but likely would…

Libya and Britain on Lockerbie bomber – when you lie with dogs

By Steve McGough / August 23, 2009 /

This is swell. Abdel Basset al-Megrahi was handed over to a Scottish court seated in the Netherlands in 1999 after he was indited in the bombing of Pan Am flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland in December 1988 which killed all 259 passengers and another 11 on the ground. He was convicted, got cancer and released…
