Why Not the Best?

Frank Gaffney, Jr.

 

For years, presidents of both parties have pledged to ensure that America fields a military second to none. A successful test last week of a truly transformative technology affords Barack Obama an opportunity to help make that pledge a reality. Unless Mr. Obama swiftly orders the Pentagon to change course on the remarkable Airborne Laser Test Bed (ALTB) program, however, his legacy on defense preparedness will be one of empty rhetoric and increased danger for our country.

 

What brought you here?: 
Is every effort being made to bring to bear the Airborne Laser system's ability to perform boost-phase intercepts?

Ignoring the Reality of Jihad at Our Peril

Most sentient Americans had one question in the wake of the massacre at Fort Hood last November: How on earth could the Army have allowed to remain in its ranks a soldier known to espouse the supremacist, seditious ideology that justifies murderous jihad?

 

What brought you here?: 
How on earth could the Army have allowed to remain in its ranks a soldier known to espouse the seditious ideology that justifies murderous jihad? Tragically, we have gotten pap, not answers.

Destroying America from Within

Frank Gaffney, Jr. A powerful new book is wreaking havoc with the reputation myriad Islamic organizations in America have been carefully cultivating for years.

Islamic Saudi Academy Seeks Expansion in Virginia

Frank Gaffney, Jr. At this writing, the Board of Supervisors of Fairfax County, Virginia are poised to make a momentous decision. After a hearing tonight, the Supervisors could well accede to demands by the House of Saud to change the name of their jurisdiction to Faisal County, in recognition of the contributions the late Saudi king and the virulent strain of Islam promoted by his government in Northern Virginia and elsewhere. Just kidding.

‘Take My Voice’: An Everywoman’s Story from Iran

Frank Gaffney, Jr. Starting last Friday, theaters across the country gave Americans a vivid, dramatic and most timely insight into the struggle now playing out in Iran.

America's First Muslim President

Frank Gaffney, Jr. During his White House years, William Jefferson Clinton - someone Sonya Sotomayor might call a "white male" - was dubbed by an admirer in the African-American community "America's first black president." Applying the standard of identity politics and pandering to a special interest that earned Mr. Clinton that distinction, Barack Hussein Obama would have to be considered America's first Muslim president. This is not to say, necessarily, that Mr. Obama actually is a Muslim, any more than Mr. Clinton actually is black.

A Win for the Good Guys – and a Setback for Our Sharia-Adherent Enemies

Frank Gaffney, Jr., and David Yerushalmi Last week’s news on the judicial front was dominated by the California supreme court’s ruling on gay marriage and President Obama’s nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. Largely unremarked upon was another potentially seismic decision, one made in federal court regarding Islamic law, which is called Sharia. Eastern District of Michigan judge Lawrence P. Zatkoff handed down the decision, in a case involving an alleged violation of the constitutional separation of church and state.

Lawfare and Obama's Transnationalist

Frank Gaffney, Jr. What is wrong with this picture? We learned this weekend that a Spanish judge, Baltasar Garzon, is preparing to prosecute six Americans who worked as senior legal and policy advisors to President George W. Bush - including Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and Under Secretary of Defense Douglas Feith. The alleged crime? The opinions they provided Mr. Bush supported the use of torture against enemy combatants. Most Americans would find this assertion of what has come to be called " transnational law" to be troubling on several grounds.

The Enemy is Us

Frank Gaffney, Jr. Perhaps the most famous line the history of cartoons was one Walt Kelly gave his much-beloved character, Pogo: "We have met the enemy and he is us." Increasingly, it appears Barack Obama feels the same way about America. Call it the PogObama worldview. The President's first hundred days have been a blur of legislative initiatives, policy pronouncements and symbolic gestures that, taken together, constitute the most sweeping and fundamental make-over of U.S domestic and foreign policies since at least World War II.
