Bernie is going to win. The writing is on the wall that Hillary is most likely guilty of [at a minimum] unintentional espionage and probably much worse and it looks like an indictment at this point is imminent. There’s no doubt that the democratic establishment is also aware of this inevitability and is beginning to hedge their bets, albeit behind closed doors. It’s only a matter of time before the majority of the DNC begins to realize that Hillary is a liability to the party and once this tipping point occurs, establishment democrats will defect en masse like rats from...

U.S. Draft Bill to Punish China for Deporting N.Koreans With China’s deportation of North Korean defectors to their Stalinist homeland looming like a black cloud over Seoul-Beijing ties, some U.S. lawmakers and activists are drawing up a bill to impose trade sanctions on China unless it stops the practice. Washington has warned Beijing of punitive measures if it continues to deport North Korean refugees but has so far taken no legislative action. Activists including the Coalition for Human Rights of Abductees and North Korean Refugees hold a press conference urging Bejing to stop repatriating North Korean defectors, in front...

Now that Kerik and Lieberman are out, who would be a good choice to head the Department of Homeland Security? How about Frank Gaffney? He's well informed on foreign and domestic security issues, and is well connected in Washington. Frank J. Gaffney, Jr.President & CEO, The Center for Security Policy In April 1987, Mr. Gaffney was nominated by President Reagan to become the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Policy, the senior position in the Defense Department with responsibility for policies involving nuclear forces, arms control and U.S.-European defense relations. He acted in that capacity for seven months during...

Dems are so crooked they couldn't even lie straight in bed Addison Ross New York Thursday 29 May 2003 There is something particularly comical in seeing one of the Democrats' leading liberals self-righteously adopt the mantle of aggressive patriotism, as did Donna Brazile in What Would Scoop Do? (WSJ May 21, 2003). She begins with the admission that the Democrats had given "short shrift to security issues." This was an indirect way of saying that the party had ignored the country's national security. (One should note that this was said as if she herself had always been deeply concerned with...

What Would Scoop Do? By DONNA BRAZILE and TIMOTHY BERGREEN Forty-eight hours after President Bush told a cheering throng of sailors on the deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln that major combat in Iraq was over, the nine candidates for the Democratic presidential nomination held their first debate, in Charleston, S.C. It would have been a perfect occasion for a serious discussion of the national-security challenges that we as a nation face in the wake of the Iraq war.

Sunday, April 6, 2003 P-I Focus: The road the U.S. traveled to Baghdad was paved by 'Scoop' Jackson The hawks' hawk ROGER MORRIS America's attack on Iraq started 65 years ago in the wooded curving inlets and gentle fog of Snohomish County. At least that's one genealogy of the war, curling back through closed-door politics where so much of U.S. history happens. Nineteen thirty-eight was the year Henry Martin Jackson, an ambitious 26-year-old Democrat from Everett fresh out of the University of Washington Law School, was elected prosecuting attorney for Snohomish County. As usual, few outside Washington state noticed the...
