  Why Isn't Obama In Berlin?

  Whether it is petty politics, historical ignorance or naivete, it’s wrong. President Obama should be in Berlin, along with other world leaders, celebrating the birth of freedom for hundreds of millions of people.

  Pull the Plug on Afghanistan

  Rather than prop up a corrupt and incompetent President Karzai in a country where Al Qaeda is no more, we should instead give Pakistan's president all the help to defeat the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

  Afghanistan Matters Because of Pakistan

  It’s become a mantra in some quarters that we have to "win" in Afghanistan before we tackle Pakistan. It’s really the other way around -- we need to help Zardari defeat the Taliban in Pakistan or our efforts in Afghanistan -- no matter how significant or successful -- will be for naught.

  Obama Doesn't Deserve Peace Prize

  President Obama has done nothing of substance -- he has not halted one nuclear enrichment plant, stopped one missile program, converted one terrorist , signed one treaty or even softened one bellicose speech by an adversary.

  Do Gates and McChrystal Have the Guts to Fight for Afghanistan?

  In the next few days we will learn whether President Obama has the courage to do what what is necessary to prevail in Afghanistan. And he does not, will our military leaders have the courage to resign in protest?

  Will Obama 'Do a Rumsfeld' In Afghanistan?

  What's our end game in Afghanistan? Will the president opt for a "slow bleed" in the region and ignore the need to increase troop levels?

  The Day Everything Changed

  I looked up to see the first tower get hit. Once the second tower was struck I realized it was probably terrorists and the beginning of a new era of crisis for my country. And I vowed, that day, to do whatever I could to help.

  CIA Trials Would Be a Dangerous Mistake

  If we do to the intelligence community today what we did to it thirty years ago we risk compromising human intelligence gathering once again, and being blind, once again, to the next terrorist attack.

  Does this open the door to serious negotiations over North Korea's nuclear program? Or is this merely North Korea's attempt to buy some goodwill from President Obama?

  Time to Scrap the F-22 Raptor

  If we had an infinite amount of money to spend on defense, of course, the F-22 would be great. But we don't. We need to increase the size of the Army and Marines. We need to increase resources devoted to intelligence. So let's do the same job the Raptor would do but with cheaper weapons systems.
