Galbraith offers solutions to minimize damage during a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq.-----A leading authority on Iraq, Ambassador Peter Galbraith joins the Council for a discussion on the unintended consequences of the war in Iraq and what the next US administration should do in the Middle East.Having worked on Iraq for more than 25 years, he is responsible for uncovering and documenting the start of Saddam Hussein's genocide against the Kurds and was with Kurdish rebels during their 1991 uprising.Since 2003, Galbraith has made more than twenty trips to Iraq, and is the architect of the partition plan that is considered the main alternative to President Bush's Iraq strategy - World Affairs Council of Northern CaliforniaAmb. Peter W. Galbraith, one of America's leading authorities on Iraq, has been in Iraq many times over the last twenty-one years during historic turning points for the country: the Iraq-Iran War, the Kurdish genocide, the 1991 uprising, the immediate aftermath of the 2003 war, and the writing of Iraq's constitutions. In his new book, The End of Iraq, he offers many firsthand observations of the men who are now Iraq's leaders. He draws on his nearly two decades of involvement in Iraq policy working for the U.S. government to appraise what has occurred and what will happen. The End of Iraq describes America's failed strategy toward that country and what must be done now.

| Mythbusters Investigate 9/11 MYTHTue, 02 Dec 2008 14:00:24 -0800 by xkrisxh2ox[I got this video from greatbenwa....HELP SPREAD THE WORD!!!]THE MYTHBUSTERS HAVE FINALLY given in to the pressure the producers have been under for several years. The show asks the viewers to send their favorite myth in via the internet for the show to consider. Upon receiving their 1 million request dealing with the various September 11th theories, the producers finally cracked.The 2 hour special slated for an unreleased date in 2009 and will be titled WORLD TRADE CENTER. The program will feature the top 2 most requested WTC theories, controlled demolition and CGI planes - more commonly known as TV fakery. The show will also feature a 20 minute tribute to the Pentagon missile theory conducted by Kari Byron, Grant Imahara,and Tory Belleci. Meanwhile,the stars of the show Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman will be putting their reputation on the line with the WTC experiments.The show will feature a 1/3 scale replica of the towers at an estimated $7.2 million price tag. The replica is rumored to have been built outside of the United States to avoid airspace restrictions that they would have encountered at home. The location of the replica towers has remained a secret from the press as gag orders were imposed on the private contractors. The total cost of the production has reportedly amounted to a whopping $25 million, which the Discovery Channel believes it will reclaim by selling Super Bowl priced ads during the 2 hour event. The Discovery Channel expects the special to be the highest viewed non sport related program in history. It has been reported that an anonymous aerospace company donated a miniature Boeing built to Jamie and Adams specifications that will be 1/3 the mass, weight,and size, of a real Boeing and will carry 1/3 the amount of fuel as well. Preliminary flight test have been performed by a custom Cessna as the mini-Boeing has been under lock and key parked in an undisclosed private hanger."We received so many different request dealing with September 11th that we decided on the top 3" explained Jamie Hyneman. Adam Savage continued by saying, "I wish our budget and time table could have allowed us to do some of the others that I found interesting, such as, the WTC 7 collapse and the lack of debris in Shanksville. Maybe if we survive this special, we can do those on a future show."The Mythbusters fansite,dsc.discover y.com/fansites/mythb usters/m ythbu sters.html seems to be tight lipped about the show as of now but plans to make future announcements when the air date is revealed. "I am really stoked about this one," said Kari Byron, "I feel like I am living in a historical moment!"
