No one knows what the future bodes for Iraq, despite Obama's pronouncements on the subject. [...]

Critics have accused Obama of ending the war hastily to coincide with his re-election campaign. Many of them have warned that the pullout could embolden still-active insurgent fighters as well as Iraq's neighbor Iran. [...] Biden's visit was more of a dog and pony show to quell suspicions that all is not well for Iraq's future as a democracy. [...] But our policies definitely had an influence and you talk to the people who committed it and those individuals who would like to do us harm they say yes we didn’t like American bombs to be falling on our country, we don’t like the intervention we do in their nations so to deny this is [...] A former U.S. police advisor now living in Israel wonders if the Iraq War will be remembered as a success or the beginning of another radical Islamic nation. [...] Why are the same leaders who so passionately protect Muslim rights in America doing nothing for Christians who are dying in record numbers? Why has the church been virtually silent about the suffering of our brethren?” [...] Considering the present situation in Iraq and the rest of the region, removing Saddam Hussein might not have been the best idea. [...] If the despotic dictators of Libya and Syria want to quell the uprisings against them, they should follow the lead of Tehran. Call the opposition terrorists and get the U.S. State Department to label them Foreign Terrorist Organizations. It will work, and won't even matter how many people those governments are murdering. [...] The US was wrong to label the Iranian opposition organization MEK a terrorist organization. The MEK has been under savage repression in Iran. Finally, the US State Department has been ordered by a DC court to conduct a serious review of the MEK FTO listing and this cannot be done by low ranking officials fed [...] Like thousands of others who have loved ones in Iraq's refugee camp Camp Ashraf, it's hard for me to sleep at nights not knowing what could happen tomorrow. I just put my trust in the world conscious that it will not allow a new massacre to recur. [...] Did the U.S. State Department make the right decision in declaring Iran's main opposition, the Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), a terrorist organization? It may have prompted Iranian-backed Iraqi attacks on the camp where 3,400 members of MEK have taken refuge. [...] The revolts throughout the Arab world have shown that Israel is not the central problem, and yet our president and his State Department seem to follow the old line that the Palestine question is the root of all the Middle East's problems. [...] Richard Miniter's investigation of Kahlid Shaik Mohammed reveals more about Muslim terrorism than just KSM's role in the September 11, 2001 attacks. [...]
The Obama Administration's penchant for ignoring the US Constitution is, once again, on display. [...] I appeared on Russia's English-language TV show CrossTalk yesterday to discuss whether the demonstrations sweeping the Middle East will lead to democratic reforms or harsher Islamic states. The other guests weren't terribly fond of America, and one has been an editor of a communist journal. [...] An Iraq War veteran and 9-11 survivor explains why a mosque should not be built at Ground Zero. [...] Obama's quandary is that he is a liberal Democrat who opposes most military engagements. But unlike Vietnam, the war appears to be winnable. [...] If the United States reneges on its promise to protect 3,500 Iranian exiles in Iraq, why should the State of Israel trust that the United States will fulfill promises to protect the Jewish State? [...] Al Franken turned against Bush and the Iraq War only after it became politically correct to do so. [...] Either intentionally or unintentionally, United States news media outlets are ignoring the violence perpetrated by Muslims against Christians in Iraq. [...] The controversy over President Barack Obama's nominee for a top intelligence position came to an end today when Charles Freeman removed his name from consideration. [...] If you want to know the truth about Iraq, you need to hear from the people who actually fought the war there. A review of Steven K. O'Hern's The Intelligence Wars: Lessons from Baghdad. [...] In his new book Unintended Consequences, Peter Galbraith argues that the Iraq experiment, at least relative to Bush's stated goals, is doomed to fail. [...] Vets for Freedom (VFF) revisit former battle stations in Iraq . . . and find victory is at hand. Not good news for the defeatists and news media.
