7/1/22 Shireen Al-Adeimi: The Ceasefire in Yemen is Not Enough
Scott is joined by Shireen Al-Adeimi to discuss the war in Yemen. They talk about the War Powers Resolution in Congress and the Ramadan ceasefire, which is holding for now. Al-Adeimi points out that the Saudis dropping their support for former President Hadi was not actually a step towards peace. Instead, they turned to a “council” made up of rival warlords who appear destined to use violence in their disputes rather than diplomacy. But, she points out, the Saudis cannot exert any real control over Yemen without full military support from the United States. That defines a clear path for bringing this bloody period of foreign intervention in Yemen to an end.
Discussed on the show:
- “Truce or Not, Congress Must Urgently Bring About a Real End to the War on Yemen” (In These Times)
- 833-STOPWAR

12/09/11 – Kate Gould – The Scott Horton Show

12/08/11 – David Codrea – The Scott Horton Show
David Codrea, columnist and gun rights advocate, discusses the “Fast and Furious” scandal implicating several government departments in helping gunrunners buy guns in the US and transport them to Mexico (apparently in order to boost statistics on illegal gun use, in order to justify more restrictive domestic gun laws); the Clean Up ATF website, put together by fed-up whistleblowers, that helped break the story; why a special prosecutor is needed to stop the Obama administration’s coverup and start indictments; the ongoing Congressional hearings; and why Attorney General Eric Holder is probably guilty of obstructing justice and perjury (and certainly is unfit to perform his job duties).

William Astore, Professor of History and author of Hindenburg: Icon of German Militarism, discusses his article “Fighting 1% Wars: Why Our Wars of Choice May Prove Fatal;” how willy-nilly US interventions discount the chaotic and unpredictable nature of warfare, virtually guaranteeing blowback; the young Americans who regularly play video war games yet remain ignorant of actual US wars (while military drone pilots, sitting in comfy chairs in front of computer screens, resemble gamers); and how the US military has transformed into a foreign legion, detached from legitimate national security concerns and the public they supposedly protect.
