Barack Obama has given the go ahead for the “targeted killing” of al-Qaeda operative Anwar al-Awlaki, who happens to be a U.S. citizen.
I don’t have a problem with it. The fight with al-Qaeda is war. Al-Awlaki is trying to kill Americans, and if the only way to stop him is by...
Well, why not?
Immigration is an issue on which the U.S. seems incapable of reaching a political consensus, instability on the Mexican border has led to hundreds of deaths and cross-border drug trafficking, and neither the U.S. nor Mexico seems willing to solve the problem.

No more.
As I mentioned a few days ago, the Obama administration was considering changing our policy of ambiguity as to when we would...

The U.S. has no diplomatic...
I knew it would happen, and today it did.
I received a call from a former client and friend, a guy in his late 70s, who was a huge Obama supporter and a fairly mainstream liberal and Democrat.
In the past my friend very much enjoyed getting me agitated by frequently mentioning...
