It’s been a while since Chris and I jumped on Skype and rambled on for a while about the state of the world and associated topics, so we decided to remedy that fact last night. What follows is the first part (approximately 35 minutes) of our discussion about Obama’s decisions around Afghanistan, counter insurgency strategies, and American foreign policy vis-a-vis the Middle East more generally.
Part 2 will follow in a day or two so as to break up what are usually hour plus conversations into smaller, bite sized chunks. Check out the audio below the fold.
Scott is a sometimes blogger and social media consultant/principal at East Side Media. In addition to writing at the League of Ordinary Gentlemen, Scott is also a founding member of Beams and Struts and a fellow at the Canadian Council for Democracy's blog the Commons. You can reach Scott via email and follow him on Twiter.
I think we’re missing something — I don’t see a transcript or any other sort of media. Is this the blog equivalent to forgetting to include the attachment in an e-mail? :)
2) if yes, to #1 and still not working, what platform are you using? The audio of this popped up for me as soon as I clicked on the read more function.
Right. It’s because your on a mac and I formatted the audio as a WMV because it is the most commonly used player out there. Two options: 1.) go download Windows Media Player for Macs and install it, the audio should appear for you, 2.) email me (scott.h.payne@gmail.com) and I can arrange to get the raw audio file to you for listening.
Your call, I’m happy to oblige in whichever fashion best works for you.
Libertarianism in a Nutshell I fancy meself a South Park Republican, no prig he, more likely to laugh at the ineptness of somebody trying to offend him than to be offended. A Piss Christ or a Virgin Mary made of elephant shit is so last century it’s hardly worth the bother of feigning outrage.
But I do confess that our friends and allies in Japan have come up with something I’m compelled/appalled enough to hide behind a link.
The only consolation is that there’s really nothing to be done for an encore. ( 1 comments)

Silus,
1) Did you click read more? It’s below the fold.
2) if yes, to #1 and still not working, what platform are you using? The audio of this popped up for me as soon as I clicked on the read more function.
There’s no READ MORE link.
:(
I’m using the most recent Safari. On a Mac.
