First, U.S. intelligence agencies have reversed their preposterous 2007 National Intelligence Estimate, the one that claimed with "high confidence" that Tehran had "halted its nuclear weapons program." No one (other than the Iranian rulers and their agents) denies that the regime is rushing headlong to build a large nuclear arsenal. *Fox News, September 2009: Asked "Do you support or oppose the United States taking military action to keep Iran from getting nuclear weapons?" 61 percent of 900 registered voters supported military action and 28 opposed it. *Pew Research Center, October 2009: Asked which is more important, "To prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons, even if it means taking military action" or "To avoid a military conflict with Iran, even if it means they may develop n...

Pakistan did not immediately accept an American apology for the deaths of Pakistani troops killed by mistake in Kurram Agency during a cross-border hot pursuit last week. Meanwhile, nearly 100 tankers in Pakistan carrying fuel to support the war effort in Afghanistan have been torched, the Torkham Gate in the Khyber Pass remains closed, and there are reports that elements in the ISI, Pakistan's military intelligence service, are supporting the Taliban. Policymakers in the United States should begin discussing whether Pakistan is part of the solution to the challenges in the Mideast and South Asia or part of the problem. In strategic terms, Pakistan is the gift that keeps on giving. The mountainous frontier tribal areas have been a haven for terrorists. The Pentagon has confirmed that th...

Although it's a deadly serious topic, Turner put on a show, sprinkling his message with jokes and salty language.

The reasons are clear: Nationally, the Republicans are tied to Bush, whose approval ratings are tanking on everything from Iraq to the economy. This even extends to his political trump card: Half of Americans now disapprove of his handling of terrorism. And according to a mid-March national poll, on a "generic" congressional ballot, voters prefer Democrats to Republicans, 55 percent to 39 percent-the largest lead Democrats have enjoyed in such polls since the 1982 midterm election. Republicans are losing ground even among former Bush supporters and in traditionally "red" regions, such as the South. As polling analyst Ruy Teixeira writes, "views about Bush are nationalizing the election in the Democrats' favor. Democrats, anxious to show themselves as tough (but smart), haven't broken w...
