President Obama kicked off the first meeting of the National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform Tuesday by emphasizing - with a straight face - his purported commitment to solving what he called a fiscal crisis. "We've been scouring the budget, line by line, identifying more than $20 billion in savings this year alone," the president boasted. Don't be fooled by the fairy tale of "Obama the budget-cutter.
While $20 billion is no small sum, it represents just four days' worth of fiscal responsibility during an entire of year of profligacy. President George W. Bush, hardly a budget hawk, increased the debt an average of $1.7 billion each day of his eight years in office. Since taking control last year, Mr. Obama has more than doubled this amount, spending $4.9 billion beyond t...

SURE, electorally speaking, our nation is focused most these days on choosing one presidential candidate from among many in the Republican Party and on the ongoing, economy-related woes of the Democrats' President Obama.
And, in an even wider view, on the electoral troubles of European leaders from Silvio Berlusconi in Italy to George Papandreou in Greece.

I wanted to bail early on Donald Vaillancourt's letter, "Nothing getting done"(July 30). The tiresome, hypocritical and all-too typical Democrat rant, "My side's principled, your side's partisan!" held no interest for me. But I labored into the second part of the letter, where he wondered, "Anyway, what is this that whenever a president speaks, the Republicans have a rebuttal afterward . . . In a company, when a boss speaks to the employees, does anyone ever dispute the boss' statements in rebuttal speech?" With this curious analogy came the shock of sudden and unexpected recognition.
Vaillancourt has shone the light of analogy onto an underlying, little-recognized Democrat-turned-Socialist principle: totalitarianism. Democrats have the nation headed down the road to big-state, European...

The main progressive group in the European Parliament is calling on the Egyptian President, Hosni Mubarak, to resign. "Everybody think that Mr. Mubarak has to leave, with very small exceptions, but I don't think that enough people say it clearly and loudly," said the Vice President of the Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament, Johannes Swoboda. "I think time is here to say it loudly so that people in the streets understand our position and hear our position," he added. In a debate on Egypt and Tunisia with high representative of the union for foreign affairs and security policy Catherine Ashton ...

The Senate's top Republican says Democrats' sights are set on European-style socialism, and derided likely Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's claims of being a unifier - one of the major selling points the Illinois Democrat makes on the campaign trail.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, in a likely preview of the Republican line of attack in the general election, said Democratic leaders and Mr. Obama "get up every morning with three things on their minds: more taxes, more regulation and more litigation.

MARIQUITA, Colombia - At the Colombian National Police base here last Wednesday morning, a small air fleet took off. Hours earlier, a Fairchild Metroliner intelligence plane scouted poppy fields in the jungles 40 miles northward. Now, several well-armed Huey helicopters embarked. They were followed by three turbo fixed-wing aircraft, spraying fields to eradicate plants producing narcotics destined for U.S. and European users. Taking off last to complete the day's operation was a Blackhawk helicopter, fulfilling "search and rescue" requirements.
Such hazardous operations - subject to ground fire from narco- guerillas - take place in the Colombian Andes every day, amid disapproval from Western European government officials, Democrats in the U.S. Congress and critics inside Colombia. In co...
