Syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer made a dire observation Friday about what appears to be an inevitable strike on Syria.

Syndicated columnist Pat Buchanan is not surprisingly totally opposed to President Obama unilaterally striking Syria without approval from Congress.

The United States is about to start a war with Syria, yet President Obama still had time Thursday to meet with NBA Hall of Famer Magic Johnson to discuss - wait for it! - jobs.

David Letterman took a comedic swipe at George W. Bush and Barack Obama Wednesday.

Now he can start a war that the next president will be stuck with” (video follows with transcript and commentary):

Liberals owe former President George W. Bush a huge debt of gratitude. Without him, they'd have so little to talk about when things don't go their way.
