"For a quarter-century, from Kuwait to Kosovo to Kandahar, the civilized world has gone to war only in order to save or liberate Muslims. The Pentagon is little more than central dispatch for the U.S. military’s Muslim Fast Squad. And what do we have to show for it? Liberating Syria isn’t like liberating the Netherlands: In the Middle East, the enemy of our enemy is also our enemy. Yes, those BBC images of schoolchildren with burning flesh are heart-rending. So we’ll get rid of Assad and install the local branch of al-Qaeda or the Muslim Brotherhood or whatever plucky neophyte democrat makes it to the presidential palace first — and then, instead of napalmed schoolyards, there will be, as in Egypt, burning Christian churches and women raped for going uncovered."
Mark Steyn
"[O]n the high end, anyone can purchase voice and internet communications software that are beyond the capacity of anyone to access without an electronic key. On the low end, anyone with a few hundred dollars can buy dozens of pre paid cell phones, each to be used to make or receive a single call and then be thrown away. NSA’s million square-foot facility in Utah, and all the antennas and computers in the world, are useless against that."
Angelo M. Codevilla
"Apparently, 'terrorism' is the magic word that allows govt. to totally disregard ANYTHING connected to Constitutional protections."
Joe Blankovic
"The business of peace is the industry of death. Behind the peace sign is a field of flowers with a grave for every one. Behind the peace agreement and the ceasefire is another war that will be worse than the last."
Daniel Greenfield
"Al-Qaida is on the run — Running right into our consulates, apparently"
John Bolton
"When comparing the furor over Guantanamo or Abu Ghraib with the current lack of interest, it almost seems that the media, over the last two administrations, goes ballistic when the US purportedly causes injury to suspected radical Islamists, but becomes comatose when the latter cause injury to us."
Victor Davis Hanson
"This was never about a video. It was never spontaneous this was terror and I want to know why we were lied to.”
REP. TREY GOWDY
"The affinity between radical Islamists and the progressive left derives from a shared belief that America is the Great Satan and must be destroyed."
J.T.Hatter
"Our problem is simple: we are tired of thinking about the radicals and the terrorists, but they aren’t tired of thinking about us."
Walter Russell Mead
"The heroes of Flight 93 didn’t have a week to conclude we were under terrorist attack on September 11, 2001."
Steve Maley
“The film was simply an act of free speech. The position of the United States should be clear. Violence was not caused by any film. Free speech is not a characteristic of America. It defines being an American.”
Johnathan Turley
"How many rights do you want to give to people who are trying to kill you just because you're you? . . . [Y]ou may be of a different religious sect, or you may be an agnostic, or you may be anything. But you're not one of them, so you're an inferior being. . . . Do you fight on 21st-century ideas or 17th-century, like the people who are against you?"
Clint Eastwood
“I don’t need polling or political strategists to help define a nuanced stance on Israel. We are engaged in a worldwide struggle against radical, violent jihad. It is the defining issue of our time. Our best friends and the strongest allies in this fight are in the State of Israel.
“Let’s remember – Israel is our ally. Israel is a democracy, Hamas is a terrorist group with clear and genuine intentions of destroying Israel’s way of life.”
Scott Brown
