Subject: Obamawar (Plus: The Egyptian Bomb)
|  | | National Security Brief: Monday, November 19, 2012 |  | | | | Obamawar by Frank J. Gaffney, Jr. While debating Mitt Romney this fall, Barack Obama declared that he had decided to embrace the term "Obamacare" - a name originally coined and to that point only used by its detractors to tie the president firmly to the health care fiasco he had spawned. Perhaps he will, therefore, not object if we dub the escalating conflict in the Middle East by a similarly apt name: Obamawar. After all, frantic efforts underway at the moment by assorted diplomats aimed at containing hostilities between Israel and the terrorist enclave known as the Gaza Strip (primarily by blocking Israel's decisive retaliation) cannot obscure a dismal reality: The crescendo of rockets and missiles unleashed by the Palestinians on Israeli civilians are a predictable repercussion of President Obama's reckless defense and foreign policies. Professor Raymond Stock: 'The Egyptian Bomb'
Professor Raymond Stock is former Visiting Assistant Professor of Arabic and Middle East Studies at Drew University (2010-11), Guggenheim Fellow (2007), and lived in Cairo for 20 years (1990-2010).

2012 Mightier Pen Award: Monica Crowley On December 11, 2012 the Center for Security Policy will honor radio host and bestselling author Monica Crowley with the Mightier Pen Award. The Award recognizes journalists who promote the need for robust US national security policies through the indispensability of American strength to preserving international peace. As a political and foreign affairs analyst, Ms Crowley has been a long-standing supporter of the Center's belief that America's national power must be preserved and properly used; for it holds a unique global role in maintaining peace and stability. Ms Crowley's new book, What the (Bleep) Just Happened?, asks the questions that are on the minds of Americans today and makes the case for a "great American comeback," including a return to the security posture that made America great. | | November 16, 2012:
