Obama Address on Military Command and Afghan Strategy
President Barack Obama's public statement regarding the change in military leadership is deconstructed, focusing on his emphasis on civilian control of the military. The hosts criticize the speech as "gobbledygook" that fails to define clear objectives regarding Al-Qaeda and the Taliban. Concerns are raised about a potential "Vietnam-style" escalation under the new command.
