A lot happened during David Petraeus’ 14-month tenure as CIA Director that began in September of 2011. Anwar al-Awlaki was killed in a controversial drone attack that month; Libya’s Muammar Gadhafi was overthrown and killed in October; U.S. troops were completely pulled out of Iraq in December; logistics of an alleged operation run out of […]

Syria is Creating Schizophrenic U.S. Senators
Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) yesterday called out three former Senators while grilling one of them – Secretary of State John Kerry – at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing. The other two were President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, though he neglected to include Kerry’s predecessor Hillary Clinton or wackobird John McCain. The […]
Rand Paul is RIGHT and WRONG about John McCain meeting with ISIS
As Shoebat.com has reported, the unsubstantiated reports that McCain met with self-proclaimed ISIS Caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi during the Senator’s trip to Syria last year are false. If Senator Rand Paul was relying on this claim to allege McCain “(met) with ISIS”, it was ill-advised. In fact, as Shoebat.com reported a year ago, who McCain […]
Fox News ‘Experts’ in Denial about Syria
In response to a video clip of Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) in which Paul said ISIS has grown stronger in Syria as a result of the Obama administration’s “degrading” of Bashar al-Assad, resident Fox News expert Charles Krauthammer said the notion was “preposterous”. Beginning at the 4:13 mark of the video excerpt from Special Report […]
What Rand Paul Missed in Criticizing Hillary – HUMA!
U.S. Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) took a lot of heat from Republicans and some conservatives over his comments about Hillary Clinton being a ‘war hawk’. The implication was that Paul was placing himself to the left of Hillary when it comes to a tough foreign policy in much the same way that his father Ron […]
Rand Paul talks about the Persecution of Christians
At the Values Voter Summit this week, Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) spoke at length about the persecution of Christians all across the Middle East. He also referenced the percentage of Muslims in Egypt, Jordan, and Pakistan who “sympathize with violence against Christians”. That number adds up to over 40 million and it precisely these no-nonsense […]
Why do CAIR, Code Pink, Van Jones, and Cenk Uygur all support Rand Paul’s filibuster?
Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) made big headlines this week in a showdown with the Obama administration over the latter’s refusal to unequivocally state that it would not use armed drones to kill Americans on American soil who posed no imminent threat to the country. Paul was relegated to eating candy bars during his twelve-plus hour […]
Audio: Aaron Klein interviews Rand Paul about sending aid to Syrian Rebels
In an interview with Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) on March 3rd, Aaron Klein asked Paul about the expected confirmation of John Brennan as CIA Director.

Video: Rand Paul says he believes Obama administration involved in ‘Gun Running operation… in Benghazi’
Save for Republican Senator Rand Paul, the Senate Foreign Relations committee blew the opportunity to find out what was really going on in that Benghazi annex before the 9/11 attacks. Here is Paul on Fox News, talking about some strong evidence that weapons were being shipped from that annex to Turkey. When Hillary Clinton played […]
Andrew McCarthy: Why are so many Republicans choosing to arm Muslim Brotherhood?
The John McCain wing of the Republican Party appears to be growing when it comes to arming the Muslim Brotherhood. The only way to make sense of the nonsensical is to assume they think that arming Egypt’s military is a hedge against Morsi gaining more power. Yeah, that’s a bad bet. Echoes of the Barbary […]
Must-See Video: Rand PAC Ad goes after administration for sending F-16’s to Egypt

Video: Rand Paul explains why he asked Hillary about CIA Annex in Benghazi being involved in gun trafficking
After Senator Rand Paul out-performed every other Senator or Congressman who questioned Hillary Clinton about Benghazi, he appeared on Hannity to discuss a central focus of his exchange with Hillary. That central focus, which was shockingly not picked up on by subsequent questioners, was the role of the CIA Annex. Another very telling aspect to […]
Time to call David Petraeus back to Testify about Hillary not knowing if CIA Annex involved in Gun Running?
Yesterday, when Senator Rand Paul asked Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if the CIA Annex in Benghazi was being used as a hub for gun trafficking to Turkey and other countries (Syria), Clinton initially directed Paul to the CIA to have his question answered. She ultimately said “I do not know” after being pressed. Even […]
Audio: House Speaker John Boehner knows something about CIA Annex (and he’s not telling)
Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) appeared on Laura Ingraham’s radio show and discussed the testimony of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton relative to the Benghazi attacks on 9/11.

Did Hillary commit Perjury… twice in one day?
In two otherwise pathetic performances by Republican congressmen – save for a few exceptions – who laid down like subjects in front of Queen Hillary, there were two exchanges – one during the Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing and the other during the House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing – where the Secretary of State may […]
