Updated: Iran authorizes 10 new nuke plants, state media say
This is not a surprise for those who have been watching Iran's actions and actually taking them at their word when they say such things like "Death to America" while sending lethal weapons into Iraq and Afghanistan, for starters. This latest move, in Iran's continued quest for hegemony in the region and beyond, will probably only be a surprise to those who thought it was possible to negotiate with the largest state sponsor of terrorism. I am afraid time will show what a mistake it was for the leaders of the free world to not have helped the Iranian ...
Iran: Obama-Clinton Smart Power?
My latest. As diplomacy talks are set to begin today between Iran and the permanent members of the U.N. Security Council plus Germany (the G5+1) to deter the Iranian regime from pursuing their nuclear weapons program, the Obama-Clinton foreign policy strategy to date appears to have strengthened Iran’s murderous regime. Last Friday, President Obama revealed that another Iranian uranium-enrichment facility is buried at an Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps base near Qom. President Obama has known about this formerly secret facility since he became President-elect and was selecting his foreign policy team that would craft, as Secretary of ...
Sen. John Kerry Blames Afghanistan Problems on Bush Administration
Less than 24-hours before President Obama’s scheduled Afghanistan policy announcement, Sen. John Kerry released a report entitled: “Tora Bora Revisited: How We Failed to Get Bin Laden and Why it Matters Today.” If Sen. Kerry, the Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relation’s report is a precursor to President Obama’s Afghanistan policy, expect a litany of Bush bashing to abundantly flow on Tuesday night. In the opening Letter of Transmittal to his colleagues, Sen. Kerry took a deliberate swipe at the Bush Administration when he wrote in part: “Our inability to finish the job in late 2001 has contributed to a ...
More Fallout from Obama Policies? Canada inks free trade deal with Jordan

Here's the official press release: Canada Introduces Implementing Legislation for Free Trade Agreement with Jordan The Honourable Gerry Ritz, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food and Minister for the Canadian Wheat Board, on behalf of the Honourable Stockwell Day, Minister of International Trade and Minister for the Asia-Pacific Gateway, today introduced legislation to implement the Canada-Jordan free trade agreement (FTA) and related agreements on labour cooperation and the environment. “Farmers know that ...

America has officially returned to the mind-set of 9/10/2001. Just like the Clinton Administration, the Obama administration is treating terrorism as a law enforcement matter. The consequences of Obama’s AG Eric Holder’s decision to bring Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, the self-confessed mastermind behind the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack to Manhattan for a civilian trial will be incalculable. For starters,... Read More

As evidence mounts of Iran’s nefarious nuclear intentions, one wonders how many times this must be said: “Every passing day brings Iran’s totalitarian regime closer to building the bomb,” for people to start believing it. Back in 2006, I had reported on this very topic at the Western Standard, The Devil’s Advocate. VIENNA — Iran’s recently revealed uranium enrichment hall is a highly... Read More
It seemed fitting with the news coming out of Iran to revisit this article I wrote back in 2006 at the Western Standard. Are we headed for another round of failed diplomacy? Iran’s democrats are furious that former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark is protecting the mullahcracy he helped install Every passing day brings Iran’s totalitarian regime closer to building the bomb. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad... Read More
