DIANA WEST: IMAGINE UNCLE SAM AS A BAIN CLIENT *****

http://www.dianawest.net/Home/tabid/36/EntryId/2261/Dear-Mitt-Imagine-Uncle-Sam-Were-a-Bain-Client.aspx

“That’s your “finally” point — a miasmic vision of peace-loving democrats in a Palestinian state and more “peace process” by which Israel is further stripped and weakened? Mitt, You’re a numbers-guy. Try this number: In a recent poll in Judea-Samaria and the Gaza Strip, 73 percent of Palestinians agreed with the canonical hadith (the words and deeds of Islam’s prophet Muhammad which have a weight often equal to the Koran), included in the Hamas Covenant, that quotes Mohammed on the necessity for “Muslims to fight the Jews and kill them.”…..(OH PULEEZ!!!! RSK)

Dear Mitt,

I know you’re a busy man. But this foreign policy needs some more time and thought on your part, and before your next debate with Obama.

It’s not that O’s a foreign policy genius; he’s not. It’s not that his foreign policy is good; it stinks. But what you have crafted (excerpted below) is more of the same. Just as you want to remap the economic course of the nation, you should also want to remap the foreign policy course of the nation. Why? The fact is — the fact your experts won’t tell you — through the Bush-Obama years our foreign policy course has been hijacked by a tiny band of extremists: Leftists, dupes and Islamic agents. Or, as we call them today, COINdinistas, neocons/McCainiacs and the Muslim Outreached.

I’ve read excerpts of your Monday speech at VMI at NRO. I’m going to skip your paean to George Marshall, about whom the nicest thing I can say is that he is the most overrated of American statesmen (but if you win the election, the subject should be revisited). For now, I want you to imagine Uncle Sam were a Bain client with a big problem: his foreign policy isn’t working and the cost in blood and treasure is taking him down.

With that in mind, let’s take another look at your VMI excerpts.

The attacks on America last month should not be seen as random acts.

OK.

DR. MOSHE DANN: JERUSALEM KIDNAPPED

http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Op-EdContributors/Article.aspx?id=287045 Refusing to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel until Arabs agree, makes the issue a hostage to Arab demands. Such capitulation is unfair and encourages Arab intransigence. Refusing to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel until Arabs agree, makes the issue a hostage to Arab demands.

http://www.chroniclesmagazine.org/2012/10/08/tunisia-the-game-is-not-over A week-long visit to Tunisia, in the course of which I covered some 2,000 miles by rental car, bus, SUV, and a powered hang glider, has confirmed that of faraway places we often assume to know more than we do. The first country affected by a wave of popular discontent known as the Arab […]

VICTOR DAVIS HANSON: A REVIEW OF ROGER KIMBALL’S BOOK ‘THE FORTUNES OF PERMANENCE”

By that term, Kimball […]

CLAUDIA ROSETT: THE WRECKAGE OF BENGHAZI

http://pjmedia.com/claudiarosett/the-wreckage-of-benghazi/?print=1 On Thursday, an FBI team finally arrived in Benghazi, Libya, to visit the sites of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens. It took the FBI more than three weeks to get there. During that time, the ruined consulate remained only minimally secured, if that. A few days […]
