Hillary Clinton. Benghazi. Who cares?

The New Neo Posted on January 23, 2013 by neoJanuary 23, 2013

Conventional leftist wisdom…

The New Neo Posted on January 18, 2013 by neoJanuary 18, 2013

…is neither conventional nor wise. But it seems to be running the show lately. Case in point: you mean the Muslim Brotherhood’s not a reasonable and moderate group? Who woulda thunk it? Everyone who thought about it and did a … Continue reading →

Obama’s second-term foreign policy: not really like Ike

The New Neo Posted on January 11, 2013 by neoJanuary 11, 2013

Here’s a riddle for you: How is Obama like Eisenhower? My answer would be: they both love[d] to play golf. David Ignatius sees a great many more similarities. Seriously, he does. I repeat: he is serious. After I wrote the … Continue reading →

The Muslim Brotherhood struts its stuff

The New Neo Posted on December 4, 2012 by neoDecember 4, 2012

Sad, sad, sad, sad. Predictable, predictable, predictable, predictable. As I wrote in February of 2011, not long after the whole Egyptian joyride began: Amidst all the speculation, I think we discount the possibility of an Islamist state at our peril””and, … Continue reading →

Nile Gardiner is wrong—“Benghazi bungling” is not a “disaster,” although it should be

The New Neo Posted on December 1, 2012 by neoDecember 1, 2012

Or actually, it is a disaster, but not exactly in the way Gardiner meant. Nile Gardiner is a Washington-based British conservative pundit with foreign policy advisor experience, and in an article in the Telegraph headlined “The White House’s Benghazi bungling … Continue reading →

Totten on Morsi

The New Neo Posted on November 27, 2012 by neoNovember 27, 2012

Michael Totten gets around, and yesterday he talked about what’s been going on lately in Egypt: [Morsi’s] already being called the new Pharaoh. It makes no difference that he was elected. Democracy isn’t just about getting elected. A democratic election … Continue reading →

The New Neo Posted on November 24, 2012 by neoNovember 24, 2012

…is described here. There are many reasons for the success of the coverup. One is the nicely coordinated set of messages from the administration and the MSM. Another is the complexity of the story; people have to be motivated enough … Continue reading →

Morsi grabs more power in Egypt

The New Neo Posted on November 23, 2012 by neoNovember 23, 2012

No surprise whatsoever here: Egypt’s president on Thursday issued constitutional amendments that placed him above judicial oversight and ordered the retrial of Hosni Mubarak for the killing of protesters in last year’s uprising. Mohammed Morsi also decreed immunity for the … Continue reading →

Lindsay Graham asks the questions…

The New Neo Posted on November 21, 2012 by neoNovember 21, 2012

…the MSM should have been asking about Benghazi, but won’t. And don’t sit on a hot stove waiting for Obama’s answer. Many of us have said it before, but it bears repeating: this administration poses a great danger because it … Continue reading →
