‘Red line’ folly

Underneath the headlines of the presidential campaign, there are growing signs that we are moving toward another war in the Middle East.

He added that he would not accept a “red light” placed in front of Israel. Unless something dramatic changes its course, Israel is on a path to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities in the next six to nine months. Read full article > >

D.C. officials protested, asking Schumer to consider serving D.C.’s finest instead — it’s cheaper and more environmentally friendly, they argued. Read full article > >
