New Blog by Liz Cheney, Bill Kristol and Debra Burlingame: Keep America Safe

Keep America Safe Mission statement: "The United States remains a nation at war. We face a growing threat from rogue regimes that seek or have already obtained nuclear weapons. America’s interests are challenged by an authoritarian China, a resurgent Russia, and dictators in our own hemisphere who ally themselves with our adversaries. Amidst the great challenges to America’s security and prosperity, the current administration too often seems uncertain, wishful, irresolute, and unwilling to stand up for America, our allies and our interests"...."Keep America Safe believes the United States can only defeat our adversaries and defend our interests from a position of strengh. We know that America has, for 233 years, been an unparalleled force for good in the world, that our fighting forces are the best the world has ever known, and that the world is a safer place when America is trusted by our allies and feared and respected by our enemies. Keep America Safe will make the case for an unapologetic approach to fighting terrorism around the world, for victory in the wars this country fights, for democracy and human rights, and for a strong American military that is needed in the dangerous world in which we live." "Board Members: Elizabeth L. Cheney, Debra Burlingame, William Kristol"

Right of Reply: Barack Obama is no friend of Israel

Jerusalem Post "Obama has shown a coolness toward Israel that has warmed the hearts of its enemies around the world and has hardenened the resolve of its adversaries. Mahmoud Abbas and the supposed 'moderate' Palestinian Authority have refused to make any overtures toward Israel, and the current Fatah Convention is keeping alive the armed struggle. Jordan and Saudi Arabia have also refused to offer any conciliatory gestures. Israel's enemies may now feel secure in thinking that Israel will be delivered to them on the proverbial silver platter."

War by Fallacy; Afghanistan is a symptom, not the problem.

By Andrew C. McCarthy NRO= "But at least [President Bush] understood that the enemy was global. His actions never approached the steel of the Bush Doctrine, the vow to root out al-Qaeda’s cells wherever on earth they were ... He knew, however, that the war was about much more than Afghanistan. President Obama, by contrast, is not merely resistant to naming the enemy; he won’t acknowledge the enemies we have or the reason why we have them.

Why I Hate Obama’s America

CNS News By Ben Shapiro. "Obama’s belief in America’s unexceptionalism—his view that America’s government, not her people, is the formative force in her values; his view that the American people bear the stain of racial, sexual and military guilt; his view that America must abandon her scrupulous adherence to equality of opportunity in favor of equality of result, traditional morals in favor of alternative ethics, and liberty of enterprise in favor of redistributionism—that set of beliefs is antithetical to what makes America great."

Who’s Behind the White House War on Fox News?

Michelle Malkin via CNS News "White House interim communications director Anita Dunn assumed the role of lead Fox News Channel-basher this weekend. The attack was a dud.
