Was Kataib Hezbollah Even Responsible For That Rocket Attack?
by Scott Horton | Jan 7, 2020 | Blog
They denied it. Scott Ritter wonders whether what's-left-of-ISIS is jerking our chain: The U.S. blamed Iranian-backed Khaitab Hezbollah (no relation to the Lebanese Hezbollah group), for the attacks. There are several problems with this narrative, first and foremost...
War Powers Resolutions Don’t Matter
by Zack Sorenson | Jan 7, 2020 | Blog

Did Iran Kill 600 Americans in Iraq War II? No.
by Scott Horton | Jan 5, 2020 | Blog
Due to the current ubiquity of claims that Iran killed 600 Americans in Iraq War II, I figured it might be worth bringing up the fact that that is a complete and damnable lie. In the case of Petraeus’s surge against Sadrist forces in Sadr City and Najaf in 2007 and...

Adam Smith and Equality of Force
It was 250 years ago that Adam Smith published The Wealth of Nations. In it, he looked back on the contact that various distant peoples had had with Europeans, following the discoveries of Christopher Colombus and Vasco de Gama. The results, by Smith’s time in 1776,...

A blockade of the Strait of Hormuz sounds like a clean, decisive move until you run it through the real world: geography, international law, ship insurance, and the uncomfortable question of what happens when the other side shoots back. We sit down with Lt Col Karen...
