You responded with great enthusiasm, offering more than 100 comments and questions. John sat down with TP on January 28, 2009 for about 20 minutes. In that period of time, we were able to get to 8 of your questions. The first one I asked him was the top-rated question, as voted on by the ThinkProgress community. It was submitted by user curtisteff, and it read: &ldquo;Why is President Obama giving up so much to try to appease the conservatives?&rdquo; Podesta offered this response: I think that if you look at the [economic recovery] bill that&rsquo;s making its way through the House and then will be taken up by the Senate this week and voted on and put on the President&rsquo;s desk by President&rsquo;s Day, what you see in there is the thrust that he laid down early on &ndash; really back in December and in January. I think he was willing to have a dialogue with Republicans. So far, that dialogue has been largely one in which it&rsquo;s good-natured but the Republicans don&rsquo;t seem to really want to come to the table and talk seriously about what needs to be done for the country. So be it &mdash; that&rsquo;s their choice. But I think he did want to change the tone in Washington. He wanted to talk to people across the political spectrum. He wanted to open up the government to people from all perspectives around the country. That&rsquo;s what WhiteHouse.gov is about. That&rsquo;s what the transition &mdash; change.gov &mdash; was about, to try to solicit ideas from across the political spectrum to meet the big challenges. But I would not confuse that with an idea that he&rsquo;s compromising on his big goals of trying to deal with the very difficult economic circumstances we face and deal with the big challenges thi<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/" >seeprogress</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/american">american</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bush">bush</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/cap">cap</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/economy">economy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/energy">energy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/house">house</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/obama">obama</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/podesta">podesta</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/president">president</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/progress">progress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/progressive">progressive</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/shakir">shakir</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/thinkprogress">thinkprogress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/transition">transition</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/white">white</a></p> Thu, 29 Jan 2009 19:56:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/130/ american bush cap economy energy house obama podesta president progress progressive shakir thinkprogress transition white seeprogress Obama Transition: CAP's John Podesta Talks with ThinkProgress.org http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/119/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/119/" title="Closing Guantanamo: Established Systems Can Handle Terrorists" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_36b748ff.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Closing Guantanamo: Established Systems Can Handle Terrorists" border="0" /></a></p> <a href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/12/proven_path.html">http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2007/12/proven_path.html</a> After nearly seven years of constant controversy, it certainly looks like Guantnamo's days are numbered after President-elect Obama reiterated his campaign pledge to close the prison camp at the U.S. Naval Base at Guantnamo Bay, Cuba. The debate has now shifted away from the simple argument about whether it should be closed and now focuses on how the Obama administration will actually do it. Major decisions remain on whether to keep, modify, or scrap trial by military commissions, leading to further questions about when, how, where, and even if some detainees can be put on trial. Serious obstacles loom in the path of any effort to transfer other detainees back to their native countries as some can not simply be sent back home and little progress has been made to date finding other countries willing to accept them. Our distinguished panel, each of whom have authored reports on closing Guantnamo, discussed these and other challenges facing the incoming Obama administration.

The economy is likely in a recession&mdash;one that could be a long and deep. We are engaged in two wars overseas. Skyrocketing health care costs are consuming too great a share of our economy and threatening to create an unsustainable national debt. Our continued heavy reliance on fossil fuels exposes our economy to volatile oil prices and supply disruptions as well as the potentially catastrophic costs of climate change in the coming decades. Aggressive action is needed to restore economic confidence and growth. We need action now to stimulate the economy, starting at once and lasting as long as necessary. Immediate government investments can put us on a path to recovery while also speeding the arrival of accessible, affordable health care, an economy powered with clean, sustainable, and secure sources of energy, and an education system that prepares our children for good jobs and keeps good jobs in America. These steps will help the economy through a period of economic weakness and lay the foundation for shared economic growth in the decades to come. These investments in economic stimulus and recovery will contribute to a higher budget deficit in the short term. But we cannot be penny wise and pound foolish. Strong economic growth will do far more to put us on the path of fiscal health than shortchanging needed investments today.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/" >seeprogress</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/american">american</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bush">bush</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/credit">credit</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/debt">debt</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/ettlinger">ettlinger</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/greenspan">greenspan</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/invest">invest</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/market">market</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/money">money</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/mortgage">mortgage</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/paulson">paulson</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/progress">progress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/street">street</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/subprime">subprime</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/treasury">treasury</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/wall">wall</a></p> Fri, 14 Nov 2008 09:35:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/97/ american bush credit debt ettlinger greenspan invest market money mortgage paulson progress street subprime treasury wall seeprogress Rescuing the Economy: The U Turn http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/91/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/91/" title="The Financial Crisis - Who's To Blame?" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_53c5083c.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="The Financial Crisis - Who's To Blame?" border="0" /></a></p> <a href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/domestic">http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/domestic</a> Who's to blame for the global financial crisis? A cynical conservative agenda that rewrote the rules for the rich. Today, working Americans feel less and less secure, and their prospects for economic mobility seem more and more remote. People are working longer hours than ever before, change jobs more frequently, and have more volatile incomes. Forty-seven million live without health insurance. Few are represented by a union. Many face tough competition from lower-wage workers abroad. The land of the American Dream now has less inter-generational income mobility than many other developed countries. Family incomes have risen on average within generations only because the incomes of women have risen as their participation in the workforce has grown dramatically; incomes of men have stagnated. The additional income from the second earner is essential to cover the rising cost of healthcare, energy, and childcare, among other things. Each of the traditional pathways to progress is littered with roadblocks. Incomes are not rising; the historical link between greater productivity and higher wages has broken down. Personal savings in the United States is near record lows. From pre-school through high school, we are failing to prepare many for college and the workplace. Those who begin degree or credential programs to improve earnings complete them at alarmingly low rates. Until recently, homeownership was a pathway to wealth accumulation, but many now see their equity slipping away. American workers feel less secure with good reason. Their prospects for getting ahead are more limited. Working hard and playing by the rules is not enough. In recent years, economic growth has been relatively strong, but the economy has added jobs at a lackluster rate compared to similar times in the economic cycle. The share of the nation&rsquo;s income that goes to those in the middle is lower than it has been in 50 y<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/" >seeprogress</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bailout">bailout</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bank">bank</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bernanke">bernanke</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bush">bush</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/conservative">conservative</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/credit">credit</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/crisis">crisis</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/debt">debt</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/dollar">dollar</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/economy">economy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/finance">finance</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/market">market</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/mortgage">mortgage</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/tax">tax</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/treasury">treasury</a></p> Tue, 21 Oct 2008 15:01:02 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/91/ bailout bank bernanke bush conservative credit crisis debt dollar economy finance market mortgage tax treasury seeprogress The Financial Crisis - Who's To Blame? http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/90/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/90/" title="How's Your Retirement Looking?

The connecting link isn?t just a matter of stock market volatility, but rather underlying problems in the credit markets. Lenders on Wall Street, and those who provide lenders their capital, are unable or unwilling to lend or invest because of the mortgage crisis. If nothing is done, the already large and growing impact on the routine borrowing of businesses will become even more acute. Businesses will face problems meeting payroll, purchasing inventory, and making investments?consequences reaching far beyond Wall Street. Personal credit for auto loans, student loans, credit cards and, of course, mortgages will also become harder to come by. The housing, mortgage, and financial mess have already ensnared the labor market. Jobs have declined for eight consecutive months in total non-farm employment. Not all job loss can be directly linked to the current financial mess, but it is safe to say that job losses have continued and the economy?s ability to mount a recovery is hampered by the turmoil. Since the start of 2008, the economy has lost a total of 605,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate hit 6.1 percent in August 2008, up from 5.0 percent at the end of 2007. The number of unemployed climbed to 9.4 million from 7.6 million over the same period.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/" >seeprogress</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/american">american</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bailout">bailout</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bank">bank</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bush">bush</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/cnbc">cnbc</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/congress">congress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/credit">credit</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/debt">debt</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/economy">economy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/finance">finance</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/jobs">jobs</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/market">market</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/mccain">mccain</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/money">money</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/mortgage">mortgage</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/paisley">paisley</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/progress">progress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/progressive">progressive</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/rescue">rescue</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/seeprogress">seeprogress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/street">street</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/wall">wall</a></p> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 18:40:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/89/ american bailout bank bush cnbc congress credit debt economy finance jobs market mccain money mortgage paisley progress progressive rescue seeprogress street wall seeprogress Fixing the Credit Markets - Rescuing the Economy http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/88/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/88/" title="The Economic Crisis - No Bailout - Now What?" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_daa0ea26.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="The Economic Crisis - No Bailout - Now What?" border="0" /></a></p> <a href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/09/conservatives_pain.html http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/09/real_solutions.html">http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/09/conservatives_pain.html http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/09/real_solutions.html</a> Michael Ettlinger of the Center for American Progress offers his take on the latest news out of Washington and the financial markets after U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and President George W. Bush yesterday failed to convince a majority of their own party in Congress that the consequences of failing to pass their $700 billion financial rescue package could be catastrophic for the U.S. economy. The American people over the next few days will catch a glimpse of the consequences in financial markets, at their hometown banks, and at their jobs, but should congressional inaction persist we may not experience the full brunt for a month or more. That?s why these next few days will be so telling. If those who opposed the rescue package in Congress do not feel responsible for the leading edge of the problems they have allowed to grow?as prices fall, borrowing costs rise, and more and more small- to medium-sized companies and financial institutions are unable to access credit?then they are unlikely to change their minds about the bailout plan. If their constituents do not get antsy as the problems of Wall Street start to spread to the companies they work for and to their own access to credit, and they do not demand action?no action may be forthcoming. Will the financial markets spook enough of the dissenters to change their vote on the bill, which fell only 12 votes shy of passage? That probably depends most immediately on how dramatic the reaction is in the commercial paper market, which was largely done with trading yesterday before the bailout bill went down to defeat. This vital credit marketplace?where companies tap short-term credit to smooth out their cash flow needs to make payroll and pay suppliers in a timely fashion?could react sharply today.

He would then be authorized to sell these assets, also without limitation. Under his proposal, his actions are explicitly exempted from review by any court or administrative body. Congress appears to be moving Paulson off these extreme terms, but any final deal should rest meaningful control, true decision-making authority, not in one person and certainly not with the secretary of the Treasury of an administration that, in large part, authored this crisis. Paulson along with the rest of the Bush economic policy apparatus?and in fact all of those who are ideologically resistant to a role for government in the economy?are deeply implicated in the mess we?re in. Whether we call it incompetence, gross negligence or ideology run amok, no action was taken as the economy, and the financial sector in particular, grew more and more dependent on a mass of untenable loans in over-valued assets. Since that bubble began to burst they have dragged their feet in taking the kind of comprehensive action that?s been needed?resisting congressional attempts to fix the housing market and calls by the Center for American Progress, among others, to jump in to stop the bleeding before it ever reached this stage. More aggressive action has been needed for months to preserve the value of homes for the benefit of homeowners, to protect the value which underlies the mortgage-related assets in the hands of investors, and to prevent the loss of so much value in our overall economy.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/" >seeprogress</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bailout">bailout</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bernanke">bernanke</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/billion">billion</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bush">bush</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/congress">congress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/credit">credit</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/crisis">crisis</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/debt">debt</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/economy">economy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/estate">estate</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/foreclosure">foreclosure</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/housing">housing</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/mortgage">mortgage</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/paulson">paulson</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/real">real</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/street">street</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/wall">wall</a></p> Wed, 24 Sep 2008 08:12:02 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/86/ bailout bernanke billion bush congress credit crisis debt economy estate foreclosure housing mortgage paulson real street wall seeprogress An Economic Bailout Done Right -Center for American Progress http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/84/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/84/" title="Perils in Pakistan - Hotel Bombing & US Aircraft Under Fire" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_fc094486.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Perils in Pakistan - Hotel Bombing & US Aircraft Under Fire" border="0" /></a></p> <a href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/08/terrorism_index.html">http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/08/terrorism_index.html</a> The bombing of the Marriott Hotel in Pakistan is cause for grave concern according to Caroline Wadhams of the Center for American Progress.

Lehman Brothers = bankrupt. Merrill Lynch = sold. Fannie Mac & Freddie Mac = in crisis. Bear Stearns = failed. Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers appeared at the Center for American Progress to discuss the current economic crisis facing middle class America and the trickle down economic theory espoused by conservatives. Do tax cuts spur economic growth and pay for themselves with higher revenues on additional economic activity stimulated? This debate will be revived in the coming year as the incoming President and Congress will soon decide whether to renew of a variety of tax cuts adopted starting in 2001 and set to expire in 2010. Economists now have years of experience with this tax policy. What does the evidence show us? What has been the public debate about tax policy and supply-side and has it shifted in light of growing inequality and limited sharing of the benefits of economic growth?<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/" >seeprogress</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/american">american</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bank">bank</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bush">bush</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/cap">cap</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/class">class</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/debt">debt</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/down">down</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/economy">economy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/finance">finance</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/irs">irs</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/lehman">lehman</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/mccain">mccain</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/merrill">merrill</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/middle">middle</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/money">money</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/progress">progress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/progressive">progressive</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/seeprogress">seeprogress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/stock">stock</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/street">street</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/summers">summers</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/tax">tax</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/trickle">trickle</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/wall">wall</a></p> Tue, 16 Sep 2008 15:25:07 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/81/ american bank bush cap class debt down economy finance irs lehman mccain merrill middle money progress progressive seeprogress stock street summers tax trickle wall seeprogress Fmr Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers on Economic Crisis & Conservative Ideology http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/80/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/80/" title="The Power of Progress - A Conversation with John Podesta & Andy Stern" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_207bb394.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="The Power of Progress - A Conversation with John Podesta & Andy Stern" border="0" /></a></p> John Podesta's discussion of his new book, The Power of Progress with SEIU's Andy Stern.

Yet there remains significant disagreement and confusion concerning the time necessary to withdraw all U.S. forces from Iraq. On August 11, The Center for American Progress hosted an event to release an updated version of "How to Redeploy: Implementing a Responsible Drawdown of U.S. Forces from Iraq." The report, which takes into account recent developments on the ground, demonstrates that an orderly and safe withdrawal of all U.S. forces is best achieved over an 8- to 10-month period.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/" >seeprogress</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/afghanistan">afghanistan</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/american">american</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/arab">arab</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/army">army</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/baghdad">baghdad</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bush">bush</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/cap">cap</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/iraq">iraq</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/korb">korb</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/kuwait">kuwait</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/mideast">mideast</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/pentagon">pentagon</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/progress">progress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/progressive">progressive</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/redeploy">redeploy</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/war">war</a></p> Mon, 11 Aug 2008 21:31:01 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/71/ afghanistan american arab army baghdad bush cap iraq korb kuwait mideast pentagon progress progressive redeploy war seeprogress Out of Iraq - How to Redeploy HIGHLIGHTS http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/70/ <p><a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/70/" title="Out of Iraq in One Year - How to Redeploy - by CAP" ><img src="http://cdn-thumbs.viddler.com/thumbnail_1_640da3c0.jpg" width="114" height="86" alt="Out of Iraq in One Year - How to Redeploy - by CAP" border="0" /></a></p> <a href="http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/security/iraq">http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/security/iraq</a> Dr Lawrence Korb, former assistant Secretary of CAP's military experts release a new report outlining how the United States can implement a logistically sound strategic redeployment from Iraq.

Global terrorist attacks are near historic highs, and this month Secretary Gates acknowledged that we cannot capture and kill our way to victory over the terrorists. We need a new approach to this fight, one that emphasizes stopping the breeding of future terrorists as much as eliminating the current ones. Drawing on insights from his recent trips to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East, Senator John Kerry (D-MA) will discuss a different framework for the "war on terror", a global counterinsurgency campaign that uses all elements of U.S. national power to address this threat more effectively.<p> By <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/" >seeprogress</a></p> <p> Tags : <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/9/11">9/11</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/afghanistan">afghanistan</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/al">al</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/american">american</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bin">bin</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/bush">bush</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/iraq">iraq</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/kerry">kerry</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/laden">laden</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/military">military</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/pakistan">pakistan</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/pentagon">pentagon</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/progress">progress</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/queda">queda</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/rumsfeld">rumsfeld</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/terrorism">terrorism</a>, <a href="http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/tags/war">war</a></p> Fri, 01 Aug 2008 14:11:00 GMT http://www.viddler.com/explore/seeprogress/videos/68/ 9/11 afghanistan al american bin bush iraq kerry laden military pakistan pentagon progress queda rumsfeld terrorism war seeprogress Senator Kerry: A New Approach to Fighting Terrorism
