Kudos to French President Nicolas Sarkozy for trying to ground the Obama-led United Nations Security Council disarmament session last Thursday in some foundation of reality. I expect Jimmy Carter and his like-minded leftists to play the race card any day now against Sarkozy for daring to criticize our President, much less for daring to mock the naive approach of [...]

The Iranian government must now demonstrate through deeds its peaceful intentions or be held accountable to international standards and international law—U.S. President Barack Obama
This does not mean we must inform Mr. Obama’s administration of every facility that we have…they will regret this announcement—Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

There is no more solemn duty as President than the decision to deploy our armed forces into harm’s way. I do it today mindful that the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan demands urgent attention and swift action. The Taliban is resurgent in Afghanistan, and al Qaeda supports the insurgency and threatens America from its safe-haven [...]
The U.S. President began his speech to an audience that included Ahmadinejad, Qadhafi and Hugo Chavez by explaining, somewhat apologetically, that it is his responsibility to defend the interests of his nation.
But since Barack Obama never opens his mouth without speaking out of both sides of it, you have to wait for the punch line [...]
