Top Obama Adviser: Awlaki’s 16-Year-Old Son Should Have Had a More Responsible Father If He Wanted Us Not to Kill Him: When Robert Gibbs, former White House Press Secretary and a senior adviser to the Obama campaign, was asked why the administration killed the 16-year old son of suspected al-Qaeda member and US citizen Anwar al-Awlaki via a drone strike last year, he said it was the boy’s fault for having a father like Awlaki.

Russia: Syrian Rebels Using US-Made Stinger Missiles: Adding to the allegations of overt Western backing for the increasingly sectarian rebel fighters in the ongoing Syrian Civil War, Russian Gen. Nikolai Makarov said that his government has "reliable information" about rebel fighters having acquired US-made Stinger missiles, a shoulder-mounted anti-aircraft weapon.

Iran Considers Tougher Line After Combative US Approach: This new posture, which Iran has not yet been committed to, suggests the economic warfare, threats of preventive war, and overall bellicose approach that the US, Israel, and their European allies have taken is counterproductive.

  1. I am a lifetime conservative woman who has voted Republican
    for over 30 years. I am totally disgusted by the recent comments
    on rape by Richard Mourdock and even more disgusted
    that Mitt Romney did not pull his ads for this guy.
    I guess Mitt believes the same thing. He just lost my vote!

  4. I am quite concerned with the social and political situation in the country. Wars and other problems that often occur in this country should be solved with more prudent because of the fighting will only make people become victims.

  5. What a wonderful idea! That’s a perfect way to honor your children and have a beautiful design as well. I’m really interested in hearing how much the design of the star means to people myarchitectures.com

  6. Overwhelming support from other countries to stop the war in this country is pretty good. The Iranian government should be able to respond to it positively and think of the fate of his people by ending a war that has been happening.
