National defense: Playing catch-up again?
Unfortunately, as the Chinese missile tests demonstrate, we are behind in this one critical area, and we are being forced to play that most American of games, “catch-up”.

President George Bush’s 9/11 speech: A model of presidential leadership

AFGHANISTAN: A name that will live in infamy
The great American “bugout” from Afghanistan — a betrayal revealing a level of incompetence from our American military, security and political establishment is both breathtaking and incomprehensible. They have just presided over a national humiliation that will reverberate around the globe with truly legally dangerous consequences extending for the entire life span of virtually all living Americans.
