Vice President Joe Biden's trip last week to Poland and the Czech Republic may have helped soothe rattled allies after Team Obama pitched overboard the W-era, anti-Iran missile shield that was to be deployed in both countries.

Replete with Olympian fanfare, China just a few days ago “celebrated” the 60th anniversary of the founding and achievements of the People's Republic. Unfortunately, not everyone is celebrating — especially not military analysts.

What a shock: Iran has another undeclared nuclear facility that is likely supporting a nuclear weapons program!

There's certainly a lot of hand-wringing these days on both the left and right over the war in Afghanistan. Among Americans, support for the fight is slipping, almost eight years after U.S. forces entered the country.

The Obama administration is getting ready to throw the proposed Eastern European-based U.S. missile-defense system under the bus.
