FLASHPOINTS

cartoon by Khalil Bendib

Today on a special bi-coastal edition of Flashpoints, We go to West Point for a live broadcast of US President Barack Obama’s intentions to escalate the war in Afghanistan; with co-host Robert Knight, we’ll have analysis of the speech, a look at the possible parallels in policy between Afghanistan and Vietnam, and we’ll be joined by award-winning independent journalist and Flashpoints special correspondent Dahr Jamail to assess the impact the war is having on soldiers and their families and to report on the growing military resistance movement.
