Juan Cole Interviewed by the Young Turks

Juan Cole of the website Informed Comment was interviewed by Cenk Uyger on the Young Turks. If you have not checked out Informed Comment I highly recommend it for really good analysis of what is happening in the Middle East.

Cenk asks Professor Cole about what lead up to the current Israeli attack on Gaza. Juan Cole debuncts the notion that Israel's attack is in self defense, or that this attack is a response to rocket attacks.

It is too bad that the mainstream media won't report the reality of Israel's attack, but just the spin.

Watch the Interview here:


Cenk does a really good job of pointing out the sheer lunacy of Israel's goal, and why this attack will fail.

Young Turks Week in Review

Barack Obama's Second Radio Address: Plan for the Economy

President-elect Barack Obama recorded his second “Democratic Radio Address” again using both video as well as the typical audio. In today's address President-elect Obama promoted his economic plan for pulling this nation out of this recession. He said he would create 2.5 million jobs by rebuilding roads and bridges and modernizing schools while developing alternative energy sources and more efficient cars.

"These aren't just steps to pull ourselves out of this immediate crisis. These are the long-term investments in our economic future that have been ignored for far too long."

The goal is to get the plan Congress quickly, with help from both parties, after Obama takes office Jan. 20. The plan envisions bringing these new jobs to the economy by January 2011.

It is good to have an adult coming to the White House.

Obama Delivers First Democratic Video Address

President-elect Barack Obama recorded the “Democratic Radio Address” using both video as well as the typical audio. The New York Times notes, “It may seem like a political no-brainer in the age of YouTube, but as aides to Mr. Obama pointed out, it is a first for a president or president-elect.” To be honest I am shocked that no one in the Bush administration never thought of this. How many people ever hear the President's address? How many under the age of 35? Putting the YouTube the President's Radio Address on YouTube will make it much more accesible and allow for easier retreivable.

In the message, President-elect Obama urges Congress to “pass at least a down-payment on a rescue plan that will create jobs, relieve the squeeze on families, and help get the economy growing again.”
