Article Roundup for July 28, 2010

There’s no such thing as a slow news day, folks…

It’s WikiTreason, and it’s deadly: Don’t minimize the damage WikiLeaks’ Julian Assange has done by Ross Baker, New York Daily News.  While it’s true that the information released a few days ago didn’t amount to much that wasn’t already known, the mere fact that a traitorous interloper like Julian Assange would be more than willing to disrupt our military in the middle of a war should be enough cause for him to be extradited, tried, found guilty, and then drawn and quartered as a deterrent for those who wish to give away military secrets.

A Rhee of Hope? by David Harsanyi, Real Clear Politics. Michelle Rhee is quietly revolutionizing the Washington D.C. school district by clearing out the cesspool of rotten teachers infesting the joint.

Good Night, Ban Ki-Moon, by James Traub, Foreign Policy Magazine. Do any of you remember Dag Hammarskjöld? Probably not. That’s because he was the last good, moral and effective U.N. Secretary-General before being killed in an airplane crash in 1961. His death left a moral vacuum in that post, and it looks that Ban is the worst of the worst; an incompetent, ineffective naybob. It is time for him to leave.

India eyes an American special relationship by Pratap Bhanu Mehta, Financial Times (register for free). David Cameron and Britain in particular have been foolish in how they have neglected India. One of the great foreign policy maneuvers of President Bush was to develop a strong bond with a natural ally. Britain would be wise to foster good ties with India.

Our Divisive President by Patrick Caddell and Douglas Schoen, Wall Street Journal. When loyal party activists are calling you out for being divisive, you’re being divisive. It’s fine for me, as I want Obama to be a lame duck, but for political expediency, the administration had better pull their head out of their rumps or suffer the consequences.

U.S. Reasserts Its Presence in Asia by Frank Ching for Real Clear World. North Korea is in a state of panic, and China feels very uncomfortable. The flexing of American muscle in Asia is a very good thing, as we need to keep an eye on our interests and honor our obligations. I finally have something nice to say about the Obama Administration. Hosanna.

Arizona Immigration Decision by Andy McCarthy, National Review. So much for border security. The liberal morons, Mexican activists and their allies can celebrate now. A roaring lion is about to be awakened thanks to this decision, and it won’t be pretty.
