In case you missed it, actor Chevy Chase has indorsed Elliot Spitzer for Governor. Is Elliot Spitzer serious? Does he think Chevy Chase is someone who commands respect? Anyone who would vote for someone because Chevy Chase said so has some serious IQ issues and needs to be taken off the street before they hurt someone.  Read More →

Campaign Against the Critics

Posted by: msalomon | Comments (1)

In response to John Murtha’s press conference, a congresswoman from Ohio quoted a soldier in Iraq that said “Tell John Murtha that cowards cut & run, Marines stay the course”. It seems as if the Dems are going back to their usual “don’t know to quit when you’re ahead” mentality and are going to be losing any gains that they have been getting from 2000 deaths in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, Harriet Miers, etc. As part of his “campaign against the critics”,... Read More→

It is China’s grand economic and strategic ambitions that sends a shudder down the spine of every nation in Asia, and it is China that motivates the strategic maneuvers of every... Read More→

Rick, Good points. I forgot you wrote a book about North Korea. Which makes me wonder if I unknowingly just threw up a big softball for you. I do disagree when it comes to the bomb. With it being such a prized asset these days, I don’t think South Korean would just give it up. Instead I think they would attempt to try and convince the world that they would be more responsible with it and keep it in their back pocket as a deterrent to their other Asian neighbors.  Read More →

Peaceful Korean reunification has been a subject of well-thought debate within North & South Korea for a lot longer than we here in America realize. Since the early 1980s, when North Korean leader Kim Il Sung renounced violence as a method of reuniting with the South, baby steps have been made between the two nations toward that goal.

This morning while in South Korea, President Bush supported the idea of a unified Korea but is that really a good idea for the national security of the United States? Do we need another China? A unified Korea would give both countries the missing parts they need to become a world superpower. North Korea currently has the fourth largest military force in the world and the nuclear weapons to go with it. South Korea has the 12th largest economy in the world as well as the 6th largest military force. Combining... Read More→
