MICHELLE MALKIN — The soldier's Focused Targeting Force (FTF) platoon was not told that it was being diverted to OP MEST. When they landed, he said, "We thought we were in enemy territory, so I recall my friends and I screaming 'vehicles' and preparing to engage with the LAW and SMAW-D rockets we carried.... (more)

WASHINGTON TIMES — Taking out an incumbent U.S. senator is not easy. Nine of 10 senators up for re-election in the last congressional elections held their seats. This kind of job security makes the Senate a bit of a country club, where the attitude of "going along to get along" ensures a life of relative ease and comfort.... (more)

CNN — So say nearly 6 in 10 people who responded to CNNMoney's American Dream Poll, conducted by ORC International. They feel the dream -- however they define it -- is out of reach.... (more)

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — The Wall Street Journal had a fine editorial Monday on President Obama's reckless decision to negotiate with the Taliban and release from Guantanamo Bay five of its most senior, most capable, most implacably anti-American jihadists for an American army sergeant who, according to accounts from his fellow soldiers, went AWOL in 2009....

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — President Obama finally completed the prisoner swap he has been pleading with the Taliban for years to accept. While the president draws down American forces in Afghanistan and hamstrings our remaining troops with unconscionable combat rules of engagement that make both offensive operations and self-defense extremely difficult, the Taliban get back five of their most experienced, most virulently anti-American commanders....

JOSEPH FARAH — Everyone is trying to figure out what Barack Obama was thinking when he broke the law to trade five hardened terrorists for a U.S. Army deserter. That's easy. It's part of Obama's continuing, relentless campaign to subvert the rule of law, rewrite America's code of ethics and undermine any semblance of U.S. patriotism.... (more)

"I mean, he's an American citizen; I'm happy that he's back and that we can hopefully get closure to this whole incident."... (more)


June 3, 2014
WASHINGTON TIMES — The Pentagon on several occasions had ground-level intelligence on where Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was being held captive at various times -- down to how many gunmen were guarding him -- but special operations commanders repeatedly shelved rescue missions because they didn't want to risk casualties for a man they believed to be a "deserter," sources familiar with the mission plans said....

ANDREW C. MCCARTHY — The problem with writing a book about President Obama's lawlessness, as I have just done in "Faithless Execution" (which will officially be published Tuesday), is that eventually the author has to stop writing so the book can be printed. The administration's illegal conduct, by contrast, rolls right along -- so by the time the book comes out, I find myself several impeachable offenses behind.... (more)
