We Are Prepared to Come Kill You UPDATE: One American Killed, Another Wounded in Libyan Attack

The other day I asked my wife where our 19-year-old son Bob was. The answer: Hiking up a mountain with an 85-pound pack. He recently enlisted in the Army, having scored a near-maximum on the ASVAB test, and will report to boot camp in a few months — some kind of delayed-entry deal — as [...]

Goldman Sees The Image Of A Piece Of Toast In Egypt

by Smitty David P. Goldman looks at Egypt and has an ugly conclusion: The result, I predict, will be a humanitarian catastrophe that makes Somalia look like a picnic.
