Judicial Watch: Holder Went Down as We Forced DOJ's Hand on Fast and Furious in Court

Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said in a statement on Thursday that Attorney General Eric Holder is resigning as his group is close to nailing the Department of Justice on Operation Fast and Furious. 

Judicial Watch just won a key battle in federal court against the administration on the Fast and Furious documents President Barack Obama asserted executive privilege over to hide them from the American people and Congress. Fitton said:

It is no coincidence that Holder’s resignation comes on the heels of another court ruling that the Justice Department must finally cough up documents about how Holder’s Justice Department lied to Congress and the American people about the Operation Fast and Furious scandal, for which Eric Holder was held in contempt by the House of Representatives. Over the past several months, Judicial Watch also exposed how Holder’s Justice Department was implicated in the IRS scandal and how Justice Department lawyers helped defend the illegal stonewall that kept secret key material related to Benghazi.

Ebola crisis: Yes, we need to help but is Obama ready to keep Americans safe?

By Betsy McCaughey Published September 19, 2014 FoxNews.com


America is silently acquiescing to President Obama’s extraordinarily expensive and flawed plan to fight Ebola in West Africa.

Tuesday, Obama announced he is committing $763 million dollars and 3,000 military personnel to taming the outbreak that so far has killed 2,400 people.

Though help is urgently needed there, the plan does too little to protect Americans.

Obama said nothing about temporarily banning commercial air travel between the U.S. and West Africa, in order to help prevent Ebola from coming here. Some 220,000 residents of West African countries have visas that permit them to enter the United States.

The long haul

We could have told them that! What is the big surprise?

America’s plan is a decent one—but it will take a worryingly long time to bear fruit Sep 13th 2014


WHEN Barack Obama spoke to the American public on September 10th, his words had a bearing on more than just Islamic State (IS). His scheme to deal with the “cancer” of IS, the gravest terrorist threat since al-Qaeda, will work only if the Middle East can begin to overcome the chaos that has engulfed it. Equally, America can act as the leader of an enduring coalition against IS only if it can recover some of the status it has lost during years of retrenchment in foreign policy. What the president called “American leadership at its best” is thus both a fight against terrorism and a riposte to those who doubt American power.

Lawmakers renew call to roll back military cuts amid ISIS, Ebola fights

 Defense hawks on both sides of the aisle are pointing to the new war against the Islamic State to revive efforts to roll back across-the-board Pentagon budget cuts.
Citing President Obama’s calls for an expanded bombing campaign against the terror group — whose videotaped beheadings of three western hostages drew international revulsion — longtime foes of what’s known as sequestration say now is no time to slash military funding.

Rather, they argue, the Islamic State, or ISIS, is just the latest threat that underscores the need to undo the $487 billion in automatic Defense spending cuts required under the 2011 Budget Control Act.

Our Troops Have Work To Do Before Acting As Red Cross

So do I understand this message correctly?  3,000 troops to Africa and not a single troop to our Southern border.  What is totally wrong  with this picture. Tell me, tell me--who oh why? 

Boots On The Ground: The president declares that ground troops are a non-option against the Islamic State, then orders 3,000 troops to Africa as a surrogate Red Cross. The U.S. military should be too busy for that.

Operation United Assistance — that's the big new war effort against, um, Ebola. Ayatollah Ebola? Who is that, IS's chief mullah?

Radical Islam may be a disease that must be eradicated, but the president who promised the Democratic Party's base he would end wars has decided we can't even consider committing ground forces to combat the latest, terrifying outbreak of it in Iraq and Syria.

'War Lite' No Winning Strategy Against Islamic State

Islamic State: "Degrade and ultimately destroy" is no war strategy, especially against a terrorist state scheming the infiltration of our southern border. "American leadership at its best" would be to destroy IS, ASAP.

Imagine President Roosevelt announcing after Pearl Harbor that first we have to "degrade" the Empire of Japan. Imagine Churchill promising, "We shall 'degrade and ultimately destroy' them on the beaches ... ."
