2008 Campaign
Family Security Matters does not stand behind or endorse any candidate for president (or any other public office). However, as the President is also Commander-in-Chief and is responsible for setting national security policy, we will be publishing a variety of articles on both the Republican and Democrat candidates for President during this election year. As always, the opinions of our Contributing Editors are their own, and do not necessarily reflect those of Family Security Matters.

Ironhorse Soldiers 'on top of the world' after becoming U.S. citizens
Proud new American citizens among our military in Iraq
Here is another demonstration of the unique greatness of the United States of America. The narrative of how our newest citizens - warriors in the cause of peace - were welcomed as Americans, is a wonderful story to read and to pass along.
On September 1, at Al Faw Palace in the heart of Baghdad, Lt. Gen. Lloyd Austin, the commanding general of Multi-National Corps - Iraq, presided over a naturalization ceremony in which more than 190 Soldiers from across Iraq were sworn in as United States citizens, an event one 4th Infantry Division Soldier in particular said he had been waiting years for.

The Tears of Clowns: A bummed MSNBC.
If you watched MSNBC on mute Wednesday night after Sarah Palin's speech, it looked like the top story was that a hurricane swept through the North Pole and killed Santa Claus, so crestfallen were the network's stars. It was the same with the sound up. Keith Olbermann's first words after the applause in the Xcel Center finally died down were, "That appears to be the end of it." He sounded relieved.

Sarah Palin and Her Discontents
By Victor Davis Hanson
There is something ignoble about these elite, affluent, and well-connected observers in smug fashion savaging Palin, when - especially in the case of the sneering power-women - we should all at least grant that Palin is intrinsically bright, energetic, savvy, and independent to have come this far at all, given the slanted and insider rules of the game she's in.

SHE'S A 'PIT BULL WITH LIPSTICK'
Sarah Palin introduced herself to the nation last night with a part-folksy, part-fiery convention speech, tongue-lashing Barack Obama and her critics and saying she's been slammed simply for being a Beltway outsider.

THE BEST MAN TURNED OUT TO BE A WOMAN
by Ann Coulter
John McCain's choice of Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, as his running mate finally gave Republicans a reason to vote for him -- a reason, that is, other than B. Hussein Obama.
The media are hopping mad about McCain's vice presidential selection, but they're really furious over at MSNBC. After drawing "Keith + Obama" hearts on their denim notebooks, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews stayed up all night last Thursday, writing jokes about Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, the presumed vice presidential pick. Now they can't use any of them.

The Beltway Boys
Even as the Obama camp ponders how best to handle John McCain's veep pick of Sarah Palin, the high priests and priestesses of the media have marked her as an apostate. The Beltway class is in full-throated rebellion against a nondomesticated conservative who might pose a threat to their coronation of Barack Obama and the return of Camelot-on-the-Potomac.

Invisible Nuclear Threat
We are much more vulnerable than we think.
Our nation and the Department of Homeland Security are rightly concerned about the threat from nuclear terrorism. Extraordinary efforts are under way to detect and prevent a terrorist operation from smuggling a nuclear weapon into a U.S. city or seaport. New technologies, such as muon tomography, are being developed to scan the interior of containers and other objects for nuclear weapon materials.
Yet there is another nuclear threat to the U.S. homeland that could be posed by terrorists that is much less well-known - to our collective peril.

Sen. Lieberman's Speech to the RNC
A Democrat's Case for McCain
" Especially at a time of war, we need a President we can count on to fight for what's right for our country -- not only when it is easy, but when it is hard.
When others were silent, John McCain had the judgment to sound the alarm about the mistakes we were making in Iraq. When others wanted to retreat in defeat from the field of battle, when Barack Obama was voting to cut off funding for our troops on the ground,
John McCain had the courage to stand against the tide of public opinion and support the surge, and because of that, today, our troops are at last beginning to come home, not in failure, but in honor! "

AN UNSUNG VICTORY
COALITION HANDS BACK ANBAR
A HURRICANE smacks the Big Easy again. Back-to- back political conventions. A surprise VP pick. Russians behaving like Russians . . .
All too easy to miss the biggest story out of Iraq this year: Yesterday, security responsibility for once-bloody Anbar Province officially passed from the US military to the Baghdad government.

U.S. fights Islamic anti-defamation push
UNITED NATIONS | The Bush administration, European governments and religious rights organizations are mounting a new effort to defeat a General Assembly resolution that demands respect for Islam and other religions but has been used to justify persecution of religious minorities.
