Mission of David Rivkin
"The majority of Americans describe themselves as conservative politically. They believe in the principles of political and economic freedom, and want to enjoy the fruits of their own labor. They believe in accountability from leadership and government, and from themselves. People who believe in the value of work and innovation, and who are accountable to their family and employer, are the core of this great country's strength." David Rivkin holds the beliefs and values of country, and his mission is to protect them.
Today, the extreme political and social elements have seized media attention and consumers are being fed a continuous stream of news with only marginal significance. Controversies and sensationalism attract viewers: by the time we have grown weary of one controversy, another one is served up to garner attention. These controversies serve to distract us from the real issues facing our country: the continued erosion of economic and political freedoms. If you are more concerned about the latest celebrity's personal relationships than whether your congressional representative has even read the legislation upon which s/he has voted, you are at risk for being unaware of important changes in government.
The unmet need that David Rivkin strives to fulfill is to base viewpoints and recommendations on the constitution and the law, for that is what protects us from tyranny. Instead of a values-only discussion, David Rivkin will provide objectivity and reason. But don't expect David Rivkin to be free of emotion: David Rivkin is passionate about his country, his freedom, and his purpose."

Latest Op-Ed: Obama and the Hezbollah terrorist
(published in The Wall Street Journal, December 7, 2011)
By DAVID B. RIVKIN, JR. And CHARLES D. STIMSON
Call it the triumph of ideology over national interest and honor. Having dithered for nearly three years, the Obama administration has only a few weeks to bring to justice a Hezbollah terrorist who slaughtered five U.S. soldiers in Iraq in 2007. Unfortunately, it appears more likely that Ali Musa Daqduq will instead be transferred to Iran, to a hero's welcome.
In the early evening of Jan. 20, 2007, in the city of Karbala, south of Baghdad, five black SUVs approached the location of a regular meeting between U.S. and Iraqi military officers. Inside the vehicles, which mimicked U.S. transports (to avoid heightened scrutiny), were a dozen individuals dressed in U.S. military uniforms and bearing U.S. weapons. Their drivers spoke English.
Upon reaching their target, the occupants opened fire on the Americans. One U.S. soldier was killed on the spot. Four others were kidnapped, tortured and executed.
The mastermind of this brutal attack? Ali Musa Daqduq, a Lebanese national and Hezbollah commander. U.S. forces captured him in March 2007, and, in interrogation, he allegedly provided a wealth of information on Iran's role in fomenting, training and arming Iraqi insurgents of all stripes.
