Show 210 War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism. Medved talks to author. Audio MP3 from American Conservative University Podcast on May 16, 2008 21 views
Show 210 Michael Medved talks to Douglas Feith, the former Under Secretary of Defense and a chief architect of the Iraq war. His new book is War and Decision: Inside the Pentagon at the Dawn of the War on Terrorism. 37minutes 8.6MB To purchase book visit Amazon War and Decision Synopsis- Of all the players in the planning and evolution of the Bush Administrations war on terrorism, few were more integralâor more controversialâthan Douglas Feith, the chief strategist on Donald Rumsfelds Pentagon policy team. A highly influential international policy analyst for more than a quarter century before joining the Bush Administration in 2001, Feith worked closely with Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, Vice President Cheney, and President Bush in defining the U.S. response to the attacks of 9/11 -- from the successful war on Afghanistan to the more challenging invasion of Iraq and its aftermath. Now, in this candid and revealing memoir, Feithâa founding member of the neoconservativeâ movement and an architect of the administration's preventive strategy in the war on terrorismâoffers the most in-depth and authoritative account yet of the Pentagon s evolving stance during one of the most controversial eras of American history. Drawing upon a unique trove of documents and records, this extraordinary chronicle will put the reader in the room for scores of previously unreported senior-level meetings, showing how hundreds of critical decisions were made in defense of American interests during and after the crisis of 9/11 -- decisions both successful and controversial. Where journalists like Bob Woodward could only speculate, Feith is the first inside player to reveal the inner workings of the Pentagon, at a time when history hung in the balance. As the political battles over Iraq and the Bush administration surge onward, one thing has been missing: A fair and accurate assessment of how the battles were joined, from inside the team that planned them. With this exceptional work of history, Douglas Feith contributes the only thing that can change the course of the debate: the truth.

Countdown - Special Comment from Where's the Outrage? on May 15, 2008 12 views
It has been a little while since Keith Olbermann has had a Special Comment. Keith Olbermann has 4 major points. George Bush gave an interview yesterday to Politico.com and the users of Yahoo. The Election of a Democratic President could emboldened the enemy - this of course is nonsense. It is fear-mongering. It is so 2004. The country has moved past this. I was told they had Weapons of Mass Destruction said Bush. This is the It wasn t my fault. defense that Bush has used in the past. Keith is not letting him get away with that weak answer. Because the buck stops at the President s desk. He was the one that appointed those knuckleheads. He was the one that didn t ask for objective opinions. Finally, there was that great quote, I don t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal. President Bush has said some painfully uninformed things over the last 7 years. This may be the worst. He gave up Golf not for lent but for the Iraq War? Keith really lets Bush have it on this one and he should because the idea is more than condescending. Oh, but, is this just another spin job? The Associated Press has photos of President Bush playing golf after the death of the UN envoy. Keith s Special Comment might of been a little over the top but he was correct. George Bush isn t sprinting to the finish line like he said. He is limbing. If he were a boat he would be listing to one side. I guess the one thing that is clear is George W. Bush is the worst president in the last 50 years. He maybe the worst president, ever.

Philip Shenon, THE COMMISSION: THE UNCENSORED HISTORY OF THE 9/11 INVESTIGATION author and New York Times journalist: Mr. Media Interview, Pt 1 from Mr. Media on May 09, 2008 18 views
I think everyone remembers where they were when they first heard about the planes flying into the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon. For our generation, it’s that horrifying moment that matches up with when other generations remember the Kennedy assassination or the bombing of Pearl Harbor. But where were you when the horror of the Bush Administration’s handling of 9/11 began settling in? Its inability to scramble jets that fateful day or the President staying in an elementary school, reading to children about a goat rather than getting up and showing some leadership capabilities? Where were you when the Administration resisted a proper investigation of the attack on America? Philip Shenon, an accomplished and long-time reporter for The New York Times, has written a book that every American should read. The Commission: The Uncensored History of the 9/11 Investigation is, of all things, a beautifully-written journey into the not-so-bipartisan investigation into the government’s handling of 9/11 and its aftermath. It’s the first book of the 21st Century that could be a proper companion to Woodward and Bernstein’s classic, All the President’s Men. You should read The Commission, and then you should get very, very mad. (Please note: Due to a technical problem, only the first half of this live interview recorded on BlogTalk Radio.

McCain’s zinger fizzled from Where's the Outrage? on February 29, 2008 54 views
I think that this dovetails into what Bill (Liberal Oasis) wrote previously about McCain. He is going to have trouble slinging mud at Obama. He is going to have a lot of trouble. I ll try and explain what happened yesterday and I ll try not to mix my metaphors. In tennis if you have a strong serve you have the advantage. You can ace your opponent. You can smack the ball wide so even if your opponent gets their racket on the ball they are way out of position to make the next shot. Of course, if your serve is weak, you are in trouble. Yesterday, McCain s zinger was weak. First, he admits that he didn t watch the debate. Okay, if you didn t watch the debate then you need to shut up until have watched it but not McCain. He has to venture out into this fray. He says, I have some news. Al-Qaeda is in Iraq. Al-Qaeda is called al-Qaeda in Iraq. My friends, if we left, they wouldn t be establishing a base they would be taking a country. I will not allow that to happen my friends. I will not surrender. I will not surrender to al-Qaeda. Come on. Is that it? That is what McCain is serving up? Barack Obama masterfully, returned the serve for a winner. From WaPo: Speaking to 7,000 voters at Ohio State University, Obama answered McCain s mocking tone with his own. McCain thought that he could make a clever point by saying , Well let me give you some news Barack, al-Qaeda IS in Iraq. Like I wasn t reading the papers, like I didn t know what was going on. I said, well first of all I DO know that al-Qaeda is in Iraq , that s why I ve said we should continue to strike al-Qaeda targets. I have some news for John McCain, and that is that there was no such thing as al-Qaeda in Iraq until George Bush and John McCain decided to invade Iraq, Obama said, as the crowd roared. I ve got some news for John McCain! He took us into a war along with George Bush that should have never been authorized and should have never been waged. They took their eye off the people who were responsible for 9/11, and that would be al-Qaeda in Afghanistan that is stronger now than at any time since 2001. I ve been paying attention, John McCain, Obama continued, the cheers growing so loud that the audience could hardly make out the words. That s the news. So John McCain may like to say he wants to follow Osama bin Laden to the gates of hell, but so far all he s done is follow George Bush into a misguided war in Iraq that s cost us thousands of lives and billions of dollars I respect John McCain but he s tied to the politics of the past we are about the policies of the future! Hes the party of yesterday we want to be the party of tomorrow. So, now, what does John McCain do? He goes and gets his the President to fight his fight for him. George Bush jumps into this fight. I find this interesting. Very Interesting. Why did President Bush jump into this fight? Did he think that McCain needed the help? So, the President gets the following question: Q Mr. President, do you believe if we have the kind of rapid pull-out from Iraq that Democrats are talking about, that we would be at greater risk of a terrorist attack here at home? And when Senator Obama was asked a similar question, he said, If al Qaeda is forming a base in Iraq, then we will have to act in a way that secures the American homeland and our interests abroad. So I m wondering if THE PRESIDENT: That s an interesting comment. If al Qaeda is securing a al Qaeda base yes, well, that s exactly what they ve been trying to do for the past four years. That s their stated intention, was to create enough chaos and disorder to establish a base from which to either launch attacks or spread a caliphate. And the intent of the surge was to send more Marines into the area that where they had proclaimed their desire to set up a base. That was Anbar province. And so, yes, that s one of the challenges we face, is denying al Qaeda a safe haven anywhere. And their intentions that s what they said, that they would like to have a base or safe haven in Anbar province. Oh, that answer wasn t too predictable. The President is a broken record. He hasn t said anything new or innovative about Iraq since 2003. I do find it interesting that the President thought that it was necessary to help John McCain. I guess if you see a zinger come back that fast, all Republicans had to jump to McCain s side. I think that it is going to be a long 8 months for McCain if his zingers don t get any better. al qaeda, al qaeda in iraq, barack obama, bush administration, Election 2008, george bush, iraq, iraq al qaeda, john mccain, liberal oasis, mud, ohio state university

Show 169 Faith Reason and the War Against Jihadism. Medved interviews author. Audio MP3 from American Conservative University Podcast on February 11, 2008 135 views
Show 169Michael Medved interviews author of Faith, Reason and the War Against Jihadism. Synopsis- Provocative and essential reading for those who would understand the religious convictions and passions that fuel Islamic jihadismâand what is needed to confront it A bracing manifesto that urges all Americansâthose who would lead the United States and those who will elect those leadersâto recognize and confront the religious convictions and passions that fuel Islamic jihadism, to understandâto really understandâits theological sources and ideological roots, and to take its global vision of the human future with the seriousness this challenge requires. Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism offers fifteen bold prescriptions for meeting the threat of jihadist terrorism. Weigel sounds a clarion call for the reform of U.S. foreign and military policy in light of the lessons America should have learned from 9/11, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the grave threat of a nuclear-armed Iran. On the far side of the dangers of global jihadism, George Weigel argues, is the brighter prospect of a world capable of genuine pluralism: a world in which freedom, while never free, is not in retreat, but is poised once again at the cutting edge of history, and is the foundation of peaceful society. Provocative and essential reading for the 2008 election season, Faith, Reason, and the War Against Jihadism is a sobering analysis of the perilous years ahead. Some lessons titles are: 1) The great human questions, including the great questions of public life, are ultimately theological. 2) To speak of Judaism, Christianity and Islam as the âthree Abrahamic faiths,â the âthree religions of the Book,â or the âthree monotheismsâ obscures rather than illuminates. These familiar tropes ought to be retired. 3) Jihadism is the enemy in the multifront war that has been declared upon us. 4) Jihadism has a complex intellectual history, the chief points of which must be grasped in order to understand the nature of the threat it poses to the West. 5) Jihadists read history and politics through the prism of their distinctive theological convictions, not through the lens of western assumptions about the progressive dynamic of history. 6) It is not âIslamophobicâ to note the historical connection between conquest and Muslim expansion or between contemporary jihadism and terrorism. Truth telling is the essential pre-requisite to genuine interreligious dialogue, which can only be based on the claims of reason. 7) The war against Jihadism is a contest for the human future that will endure for generations. â8) Genuine Realism in foreign policy takes wickedness seriously, yet avoids premature closure in its thinking about the possibilities of positive change in world politics. 37 minutes 8.6MB

The Next Al-qaeda and Tornados In The South - World News from recent posts - blip.tv (beta) on February 08, 2008 66 views
World news The generation of Al Qaeda and Tornados strike in the mid-south. All this coming up in World News. Hey Everyone I m Amy Paffrath for Get the daily.com Your online video source for world news. The US military has identified a video showing masked boys holding guns as an Al Qaeda in Iraq training film. Some of the boys in the video are as young as 11 and are being trained as the next generation of Al Qaeda. The video shows the boys chanting while surrounded by weapons including grenades, AK 47s and pistols. Another shows a young boy strapped with a suicide vest. And yet Another video depicts armed boys in black hoods shouting as they force a man off his bicycle. All the while a male voice off screen instructs them. Military sources say they don t know how many children al qaeda in iraq uses in its operations and believe the boys in the video are willing participants. The Us military says the video was obtained during a raid in December and indicates the increased al qadea targeting of children. A tornado that stretched through 4 states has left 54 dead. The Southern storms came with almost no warning and are the deadliest in nearly 20 years. Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama and Tennessee were the four states hit. President Bush said Wednesday he had called the governors of the affected states to offer help and to tell them that "the American people hold those who suffered up in prayer." That s your world news, I m Amy Paffrath for getthedaily.com

Justice Dept. opens investigation into CIA tapes from Where's the Outrage? on January 02, 2008 96 views
I haven t spent much time discussing the CIA destroying the tapes of their interrogations of two Al Qaeda suspects. I figured that this would fit in with all the rest of the scandals. The surprising development today. First, Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton, cochairman of the 9/11 commission, wrote an op-ed in the New York Times today entitled Stonewalled by the CIA. Their second paragraph gets to the meat of the matter The commission’s mandate was sweeping and it explicitly included the intelligence agencies. But the recent revelations that the C.I.A. destroyed videotaped interrogations of Qaeda operatives leads us to conclude that the agency failed to respond to our lawful requests for information about the 9/11 plot. Those who knew about those videotapes — and did not tell us about them — obstructed our investigation. US Attorney General Michael Mukasey has opened a formal criminal investigation into the destruction of the tapes. Although this seemed to be a no-brainer today outside observer, the attorney general seem to resist this notion four to six weeks ago. Many of the blogs have been all over this. Crooks and Liars have been following this story along with TPM Muckraker. TPM Muckraker has a fabulous timeline. 9 11 commission, al qaeda, attorney general, bush administration, countdown, criminal investigation, crooks and liars, intelligence agencies, interrogations, lee hamilton, michael mukasey, thomas kean, torture, tpm muckraker

How did Bhutto die? from Where's the Outrage? on December 28, 2007 129 views
When you operate on someone who has a life-threatening injury, it is usually pretty clear why the patient died. We have heard nothing from the hospital where she was treated. Instead, we have heard several different types of rumors. Benazir Bhutto was killed by an assassin s bullet. She was killed by shrapnel. Now, the government has stated that she died by hitting her head and sustaining a skull fracture. Now, as a surgeon, I can say without any doubt that who ever took care of former Prime Minister Bhutto knows the real answer. This isn t even hard. The finger pointing continues. - From WaPo: The government, contradicting earlier reports that she had been killed by bullets or shrapnel, said Friday that Bhutto died from a fractured skull sustained when her head slammed into a sunroof lever on top of her armored SUV, apparently as a result of the blast from a suicide bomber s explosives. Pakistan s interior minister, Hamid Nawaz, blamed the attack on the al-Qaeda terrorist network and Afghanistan s Taliban movement radical Islamic groups that have found support in Pakistan s unruly tribal areas after being driven from power in neighboring Afghanistan in 2001. But Bhutto supporters assigned responsibility to the government of President Pervez Musharraf, charging that, at a minimum, it refused to take adequate steps to protect Bhutto following her return from exile in October, when she narrowly escaped an even deadlier assassination attempt.
