  Book Review: Inside the Asylum by Jed Babbin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-16)
To be honest, one can discern Jed Babbin's main theme in Inside the Asylum having read only the subtitle: it is a scathing indictment of the United Nations and "old" European countries like France, Germany, and Belgium.
Babbin makes several startling claims about the UN that are sure to provoke a reaction from his readers.
In Inside the Asylum, Babbin tackles his subject as if he were a great military leader: he decides exactly what his mission is, enters the arena, wipes the floor with the enemy, and gets out.

 Jed Babbin, Air Force Attorney, Law Private Practice
Babbin is perhaps best known for his pithy one-liner that "going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion" on the political talk show Hardball.
Babbin wanted to add writer to his resume and realized he needed to "unlearn pretty much everything" he'd been taught about writing in law school.
Babbin concedes that the United Nations does a good job vaccinating millions of people around the world, but he says it lacks credibility for allowing countries like Sudan to sit on the human-rights commission.

It's plain that Babbin really, really doesn't like recently-retired Army chief of staff Gen. Eric Shinseki, whom he characterizes as a "Clinton general," a protege of Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI), and an unimaginative general whose thinking was mired in the Cold War.
Babbin is over the top in his vituperation of Shinseki, for whom I cheerlead not, but who should be evaluated fairly.
Babbin is all over the map in his piece: Shinseki was too political, he should have been fired long ago.

 Big Lizards:Blog:Entry “Jed Babbin Has Become Nancy Pelosi”
Jed Babbin is now guest-hosting on Hugh Hewitt's show — and he just flatly declared this war a total victory...
However, as one caller to Jed Babbin asserted, I think the US is the big loser: GWB and Condi have made it okay that the Israeli soldiers were not returned or that Hezbollah not be annihilated as is their due; we would not have stood by for the Nazis to be temporarily set back.
Jed Babbin and the American Spectator crowd won't be satisfied until Israel deploys nukes and Condi is crucified.

 [No title]
Babbin argues that the international body has failed in its original mission for a variety of reasons, not the least of which that it considers the most brutal nations to be on par with the most democratic.
Babbin calls on the US to cut off funding until the Oil-for-Food scandal is investigated properly and that the position of ambassador to the UN is de-emphasized in its importance -- the position is currently the equivalent of being the ambassador to another nation.
Although some will be quick to argue that Babbin paints with too wide a brush, it's difficult to refute that both the UN and Old Europe have taken very questionable courses in recent years.

 Townhall.com Book Service: Inside the Asylum by Babbin, Jed   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-16)
The UN, Babbin explains, is riddled with mismanagement and incompetence: his tour of the UN bureaucracy is positively hair-raising.

 Book Monitor (Current Edition)
Inside the Asylum, by Jed Babbin, a former deputy undersecretary of defense, provides a chilling indictment of UN policies over the last decade regarding international terrorism, a corrupt and ineffective bureaucracy, and the undisguised enmity of other countries for the United States and all it stands for.
Babbin contends that if America had started the war sooner, we would have saved the lives of many soldiers and caught Saddam and his weapons of mass destruction.
Babbin’s fundamental argument is that the UN is more trouble than it’s worth to the U. Both the UN and the EU are morally bankrupt and have no business telling Americans what to do.

They start at the top: Babbin takes Kofi Annan to the woodshed in a richly documented exploration of how the universally lionized UN Secretary General is in reality just a symptom of the UN's disease: a perversely anti-American moral relativist who misses no opportunity to arrogate power to the UN.
But Babbin provides abundant evidence here that to try to reform the UN would be a fool's errand, and that it's time to cut our ties both with that increasingly anti-American organization and with the doomed, sclerotic welfare states of Old Europe.

Babbin is the author of the new book Inside the Asylum: Why the United Nations and Old Europe are Worse than You Think and a contributing editor for The American Spectator.
BABBIN: Well, that quote comes originally from a piece that I wrote for The American Spectator, and I was on Hardball that evening with Chris Matthews and Ken Adelman, the arms control expert, and we were of course talking about the upcoming war with Iraq and that was the thought that came into my head.
BABBIN: Well, it started off really as my criticism of the U.N. and looking at the U.N.’s role since 9-11, and when I got into the research of the book I found out that not only is the U.N. really quiet about terrorism, it is really quite comfortable with terrorism.

 Review: Showdown by Jed Babbin and Edward Timperlake
Essentially what Babbin and Timperlake have done with “Showdown” is taken a great deal of the research regarding the various possible flashpoints between the US and China and arranged into several quasi-fictional scenarios.
Babbin and Timperlake take us to a probable future where this event does come to fruition and describes in fairly good detail just what it might look like.
Babbin and Timperlake, though well meaning and probably correct, tip their hands and reveal themselves to be conservatives of the war hawk variety.
