Some people are referring to this as a smackdown, but I don't think so.  Netanyahu made the case which needs to be made, and has been made before (via Uncoverage):The key thing is, Netanyahu did not use the word "expect" because that would have caused...

Why yesterday for Obama to unload the demand that Israel withdraw to the pre-1967 borders, with some negotiated land swaps?  Contrary to what some are claiming, this is a new formulation.  Under the Obama formulation, Israel has a land mass fixed by the 1949 armistice lines,...

The recount is wrapping up in Waukesha County, Wisconsin, the last county to finish the recount.  False hope was created by an AP headline Tuesday stating that Kloppenburg was in the lead based on mid-afternoon vote totals, but that headline was misleading because Waukesha still was counting...

That's pretty much the upshot of Obama coming down firmly on the side of the pre-1967 borders being the end result of a peace agreement, plus some land swapping.While some have contended this merely states prior policy, there is an important shift.  Prior policy emphasized the...

Israel's pre-1967 borders had no geographical or military logic.  Those borders simply were the armistice lines after the Arabs failed to drive the Jews into the sea.The border is not defensible, as it leaves the middle of Israel only about 10 miles wide.  One of the reasons...

No not Newt. The hype about Dems running ads in 2012 with Newt's criticisms of Paul Ryan is way overblown.It's Ben Nelson, Democrat from Nebraska, who is running for reelection and splitting with his party over the mandate:Don't expect much to be made of Nelson's...

Yawn.  Chuck "my flight attendant is a bitch and Scott Brown is an far-right teabagger" Schumer is threatening to use Newt's criticism of Paul Ryan in the 2012 election cycle.That should make a big difference.  Just like this statement by a prominent Republican candidate ruined...

I like Michele Bachmann.  I also "liked" her Facebook page, which is surging in popularity.Bachmann is fearless.  Bachmann is target no. 2 for the MSM, the entertainment industry, and left-blogosphere, which mock her as stupid, much as they mock Sarah Palin.  To them, what we need is someone like our brilliant President who plays golf, shoots hoops,...
