Middle East

Most of the Rightwing are confused over Libya. They don't know how to respond to the way the President has responded. Let's be honest: Gaddafi's not exactly your Hosni Mubarak. I mean, he doesn't walk around in a tailored...

We are now witnessing the inevitable consequences of going into a war in a nation that posed no threats to the US, was politically stable, sectarian, where Shiites, Sunni and Christians lived side by side in relative harmony and al Qaeda was viewed as an enemy by all sides.

Why do media pundits insist that Obama has power over Egypt when the amount of aid we give is fractional and easily replaced by "our allies" in the Middle East?

The House Select Committee on Benghazi will begin in earnest after the November Elections to "find the truth" behind the act of terror that led to the death of four U.S. Department of State personnel. More than a decade later I wonder when the GOP (and the Democrats for that matter) will ask: "What if the Bush White House had taken the CIA briefings seriously?"
