Ralph Peters: THE most effective weapon terrorists have found to wield against us isn’t the headline-grabbing suicide bomber or even the deadly roadside bomb, the IED.

Such weapons can harm us, but they can’t stop us. Terror’s super-weapon is the lie.

John Ramano: A lot of the difference, the change if you will, between Obama and Bush has much to do with the word humility…The 65th Anniversary of D-Day is fast approaching.  Barack Obama will attend the events on June 6th as George Bush did in 2004 for the sixtieth memorial service.  Here is the rub

We didn’t keep unemployment anywhere near 8% as the administration predicted — but we did rack up a whole lot of debt. The administration tells us this is all a ray of sunshine. And they said George Bush was cut off from reality.

Nate Hale: As the White House conducts damage control over that controversial “photo op” involving a presidential aircraft, there are indications that the operation was more complex—and costly—than first indicated.

Another Catastrophe to look forward to in 2012: The year 2011-2012 for maximum solar activity would mark the first time ever that detailed predictions were made in advance for a sunspot cycle, according to Choudhari. “We now have to wait for a few years for the sun-god himself to give a verdict on our debate,” he said. Hopefully the verdict will not be another catastrophic solar storm from this enigmatic diamond shining in the sky.
