Success on Two Battlefields

I've long been a huge fan of John Batchelor, a distinguished author and radio talk show host. His weekly Sunday evening show is what I consider to be the finest program on American radio. The latest version was especially superb. You can listen to it here.

Here's a quick summary of the show:

• 00:18 - The Sarah Palin Phenomenon - Who is She?
• 11:32 - Technological revolutions incl. Twitter
• 19:20 - Sarah Palin at the Republican Convention
• 30:18 - Keith Olbermann Demoted at MSNBC
• 39:48 - Olbermann and the Obama campaign
• 49:20 - Barack Obama's vs. Sarah Palin
• 58:17 - Basra, Iraq
• 1:08:35 - The significant turnaround in the Anbar Province of Iraq
• 1:16:42 - Why the Left are Losing - Brad Miner: Smear Tactics: The Liberal Campaign to Defame America
• 1:26:18 - Democracy in Asia
• 1:36:15 - How America finally turned the tide in Iraq - Bing West: The Strongest Tribe
