08/03/10 – Malou Innocent – The Scott Horton Show

by | Aug 3, 2010 | Interviews

Malou Innocent, Foreign Policy Analyst at the Cato Institute and author of the article ‘Are Our Goals in Afghanistan ‘Fairly Modest’?’, discusses the Center for a New American Security‘s (unofficial) motto on nation building: ‘never say die!’, military pundits who cherry pick the convenient aspects of COIN doctrine, why the U.S. can’t seem to tell the difference between insurgents and terrorists, the fallacy of Afghanistan as a ‘safe haven’ for the 9/11 terrorists (who moved freely in the U.S. and Germany), baiting Afghan War opponents as misogynists and why the antiwar movement is MIA while think tanks unite around an unending interventionist policy.
