As Israel continues its dismantling of Hamas in Gaza, and proceeds with its ferocious assault on Hezbollah in Lebanon, the government in Jerusalem is also pondering when, and what, to strike in Iran, the puppetmaster of Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis, that has supplied all three of these malign proxies with money and weapons to […]
H. R. McMaster’s Advice to Joe Biden
The former National Security Adviser, H. R. McMaster, appeared recently on Fox News, where he was interviewed by Bret Baier. He had words of warning for Joe Biden, urging him not to rejoin the Iran deal – JCPOA – because it did not sufficiently curb Iran’s nuclear program, did not deal at all with Iran’s […]
WATCH: Islam, The Hoover Institution, and The Treason of the Intellectuals
Cross-posted from The Geller Report. Ayaan Hirsi Ali, and H.R. McMaster participated in a Hoover Institution panel discussion live-streamed June 4, 2019, whose ostensible purpose was to characterize, “the identities of freedom’s adversaries, their goals and strategies, and what can be done to defeat these threats across government, the private sector, academia, and civil society.” […]
Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Why It’s Good News That McMaster Is Out and Bolton Is In
A victory for realistic analysis over fantasy-based policymaking. My latest in PJ Media: The Left is in hysterics over John Bolton replacing H.R. McMaster as President Trump’s national security adviser: He will start a war with Iran! He once wrote a foreword for a book written by Pamela Geller and me! He is a right-wing […]
McMaster out, Bolton in
This was long overdue. McMaster held to the Obama view that Islamic jihad terrorism has nothing to do with Islam, and that we mustn’t offend Muslims by noting the obvious fact that there are numerous Islamic texts and teachings that exhort Muslims to wage war against unbelievers. You cannot defeat an enemy that you don’t […]
McMaster: Jihadis are “really irreligious criminals who use a perverted…interpretation of religion”
McMaster says about the President retweeting videos of Muslims being violent: “Well, President Trump is the best judge of why he did that. But I know it was his intention to highlight the importance of creating safe and secure environments for our citizens — to make sure that we have the right laws in place, […]
H.R. McMaster avoids Islamic jihad terrorist label again, calls NYC jihadi a “mass murderer”
H.R. McMaster, President Trump’s embattled national security adviser, referred to the Islamic terrorist suspect in Tuesday’s deadly jihadist attack in Lower Manhattan as among a grouping of “mass murderers.” “Embattled” is right. McMaster is at odds with the Trump administration’s war against jihad terror, which motivated the President to issue a temporary ban on immigration […]
Trump keeps Iran deal, refuses to certify compliance to Congress
The Trump who said that this was a disastrous deal that should be dismantled was more correct than this McMastered Trump. Get the full, horrifying details of exactly how bad this deal is, and of Iran’s global jihad adventurism, in my book The Complete Infidel’s Guide to Iran. “Trump Keeps Iran Deal, Refuses to Certify […]
H.R. McMaster calls 9/11 a “mass murder attack,” makes no mention of Islamic jihad terrorism
The issue is this: is the U.S. going to confront, and formulate ways to blunt the influence of, the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism, or is it going to continue to ignore and deny that ideology, and pretend that jihad terrorism comes from something else? The answer to that question could well determine whether the […]
McMaster: Iran deal “fundamentally flawed…how do you trust this regime?”
This is good to see, especially in light of earlier reports that McMaster was in favor of the Iran deal. Could he be coming around to his boss’ point of view, rather than molding Trump’s views to match his own? Free people can only hope. “McMaster on ‘Fundamentally Flawed’ Iran Nuclear Deal: ‘How Do You […]
