IN this illuminating Broadside, former Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey shows how Barrack Obama has taken the war on terror from the adult realities of George W. Bush, where hard choices were faced and made, and the nation kept safe, to an adolescent fantasy world where we can at once be nobler than the law requires and safer than we were before. Obama rejects as an unnecessary sacrifice of our ideals the stern measures adopted by his predecessor,...

In this, the Vietnamese were smart enough to permit the Americans to save...

That is because the tax increases of Obamacare become effective that year, and the Bush tax cuts expire, which Obama has refused to renew for the nation's small businesses, job creators and investors. Also by 2013 Obama's regulatory tsunami will be building to a crescendo of increased costs on the economy....

In Obama's vision, the United State renounces its role as a defender of the postwar order and instead becomes an agent of global change--one that questions our existing system of defense, values, alliances, interests, and commerce. In tactical terms, Obama believes that...
