By Robert Spencer on Jan 06, 2018 03:27 pm

Demanding the annulment of sham agreements in a false peace process that was never anything but a means to wrest concessions from Israel and hasten its eventual destruction.

By Robert Spencer on Jan 06, 2018 05:32 am

At last, some common sense in U.S. foreign policy. This means several hundred million dollars that the Taliban and the Haqqani Network won’t get.
