Better late than never -has the focus on Obamacare caused blindness to real threats?

The perils of peripheral warfare: Iran & Venezuela share the tactics of asymmetric war

Why does the Obama administration continue its maltreatment of democracy in Honduras?

A consulate employee and her husband, both US citizens, were murdered while driving in the violent border city, which neighbors El Paso, Texas.

Americans and a Mexican linked to the local U.S. consulate, an attack U.S. President Barack Obama said “outraged” him. But the Obama administration continues to focus solely on healthcare.

Remember how Obama’s FCC diversity czar Mark Lloyd praised the “democratic revolution” of Chavez in Venezuela? He’s still at the Federal Communications Commission. Homicides in Venezuela have quadrupled during President Hugo Chavez’s 11 years in power, with two people murdered every hour, according to new figures from a non-governmental organization.

“He [Lobo] has a unity government. He has a truth commission that will be stood up. He expedited the safe departure of former President Zelaya. And we think that Honduras has taken important and necessary steps that deserve the recognition and the normalization of relations.”

Two separate probes in the United States and Spain place Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s leftist government in cahoots with Spanish and Colombian rebels in drug running, terror planning and an assassination plot to kill Colombia’s president.

According to current and former officials of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the Mexican cartels — most of them “family organizations” — have become the “delivery service” for cocaine that originates in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Venezuela. These “distributors” are now exporting their violence as well. According to the Department of Justice, cartel “hit teams” have carried out murders and kidnappings in more than 230 American cities. Phoenix, Arizona, seems headed for becoming the kidnapping capital of the U.S.

Missiles allegedly purchased by Colombian FARC guerrillas could pose a threat to U.S.-supplied helicopters used in the war against the rebels, experts said.
