How Operatives Used the Khashoggi Murder and the American Press for Political Ends…

Holding Obama Accountable for Syria…
Like so much else in the last two years, the three-week political Sturm und Drang over American troops’ withdrawal from Syria says less about a fissuring present and more about a fractured past.

NBC News and MSNBC specialize in repeating and disseminating what U.S intelligence officials tell them to say and then calling that servitude “reporting.” Those two networks really are the all-but-official outlets for CIA messaging.

SELLIN: Salvaging America’s Defeat in Afghanistan…
It is no longer a question of whether the United States will leave Afghanistan; it is a question of under what conditions. Will it be a repeat of the chaotic withdrawal from Vietnam in 1975 and America’s subsequent timidity in the pursuit of our national interests? Or will it be simply a segue to a […]
