In the 1960’s, the United States was forced to deal with a communist regime 90 miles away from its shores.  Due to the threat of mutually assured destruction with a direct war with the Soviet Union, Presidents John F.

Veterans bring a unique perspective to the national security debate. With the number of members of Congress who have actually served in the military at […]

The Saudi Arabian government has officially thrown in the towel on the hopes that the United States will take the lead in toppling the Assad regime in Syria. The House of Saud is now training its own fighters to stabilize the situation in Syria.  They envision a force of 40,000 to 50,000 Sunni fighters capable […]

On October 1, 2013, the President of the United States ordered the Office of Management and Budget to shut down the Federal Government.  In addition to hundreds of government employees being furloughed and the Panda Cam being shut down (gasp!), our national security and intelligence apparatus is affected in ways that could hurt us both […]
