James Carafano "Russia also took the U.S. withdrawal as a signal to solidify a security belt around its borders. Its annexation of part of the state of Georgia sent tremors through all Europe.
"Russian expansionism and China's triumphalism inevitably led to renewed confrontations between these two powers. Meanwhile, India, living in an increasingly troubled neighborhood, abandoned its relationship with the U.S. and decided to follow China's lead."Examiner Columnist James Jay Carafano is a senior research fellow for national security at The Heritage Foundation

Barbara Boxer in Context
George Will (Responding to Boxer's words spoken in this clip ) "C-Span recorded her words in the Oct. 20, 1999, Senate colloquy that can be seen today on YouTube. The colloquy concerned the procedure commonly called “partial-birth” abortion. Boxer and other maximalists regarding the “right to choose” prefer the more anodyne but less descriptive phrase “late-term” abortion. Readers can decide which is the more candid denotation of this: The baby is about 80 percent delivered, feet first, until a portion of the skull is exposed. Then the skull is punctured and collapsed as its contents are sucked out."
Obama’s Real Problem
Victor Davis Hanson "According to a popular myth, President Obama’s declining poll numbers are a consequence of his failure to be liberal enough. On race, in the wake of the Shirley Sherrod mess, we are told he needs to appoint more African Americans and bring in more advisers from the black community. On the economy, liberal economists decry his unwillingness to borrow and stimulate more. This is lunatic in political terms.
"Obama’s poll numbers are falling for three reasons clear to any amateur student of politics."

Treason
Blackfive "Whoever leaked these documents has largely sentenced those men to death, which betrays the duty of a soldier to take risks unto himself in order to protect the civilian population. That leaker has betrayed more than his duty, though: for he has destroyed the intelligence network that protects his fellow servicemembers, and he has made it vastly more difficult to recruit a new such network."

The Vast Left-Wing Media Conspiracy
FRED BARNES "Everyone knew most of the press corps was hoping for Obama in 2008. Newly released emails show that hundreds of them were actively working to promote him."....
"Not to say there's a media conspiracy, but at least to note that hundreds of journalists have gotten together, on an online listserv called JournoList, to promote liberalism and liberal politicians at the expense of traditional journalism." (Emphasis added.)
