The Other Woman’s Jealousy of the Central Command Liaison Brought About the Downfall of CIA Director Petraeus

The resemblance between the Obama administration’s national security policy and a soap opera is purely coincidental: The FBI was investigating harassing emails sent by Petraeus biographer and girlfriend Paula Broadwell to a second woman. That probe of Broadwell’s emails revealed the affair between Broadwell and Petraeus. The FBI contacted Petraeus and other intelligence officials, and […]

The Slut Paula Broadwell

Let’s just go ahead and get this out of the way, eh? Aren’t feminists who embrace the “slut” label (e.g., “Slutwalk“) all about empowerment and liberation? And if you are an empowered liberated woman, what difference does it make if you’re married or your partner is married? All those silly vows — “Forsaking all others” […]

by Smitty I had never seen or heard of Justice with Judge Jeanine, but this clip, apparently from last night, is succinct, on point, and brutal: Deeper than the specifics of #Benghaziquiddick* is the leadership problem afoot here.

Anybody Who Thinks General Dempsey Went Rogue And Called Terry Jones Is Missing The Point

by Smitty I’ve got to call Preston for having blown by the point entirely: Gen. Dempsey’s call was a PR stunt designed to show the Islamic world that the US government takes jihadist threats more seriously than it takes American citizens’ rights to free speech. The top soldier in America’s armed forces has deliberately chilled […]

Keep In Mind That Our Response To The Various Middle East Crises. . .

by Smitty . . .is being led by a party that seems unclear as to what our navy looks like: On the last night of the Democratic National Convention, a retired Navy four-star took the stage to pay tribute to veterans. Behind him, on a giant screen, the image of four hulking warships reinforced his […]
