President Barack Obama speaks to the media before a meeting with his cabinet members in the White House Cabinet Room in Washington, Friday, Nov. 7, 2014. A senior military official says that American military advisory teams will now go to Iraq’s western Anbar province where Islamic State militants have been gaining ground and slaying men, women and children. The teams are part of President Barack Obama’s new directive to expand the U.S. mission in Iraq by deploying another 1,500 U.S. troops to serve as advisers, trainers and security personnel.

BRUCE FEIN: Congress: Don’t be fooled about Islamic State

BRUCE FEIN: Ornamental midterm elections

The changes matter only to the upper crust of professional politicians and their vassals whose wealth derives from speculating on public measures and maneuvering for special-interest legislation or regulations to compromise fair and open competition. Their impact on the nation's trajectory is as trifling as the winner of the World Series.

BRUCE FEIN: Obama: Follow the Reagan precedent set in Lebanon

President Barack Obama should terminate his war against the Islamic State (IS) in Iraq and Syria. It has proven a stupendous failure -- like Gen. George C. Custer's plan to defeat the Indians at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.

BRUCE FEIN: Abolish elected judges

BRUCE FEIN: Vietnam War was a political crime

Evidence mounts daily that the Vietnam War fought under an anti-Communist banner was at least a political crime that should be recorded as such in history books.
