This week's episode feature Robert Kerman, Master Sergeant (USMC Retired). I am super excited to share this episode with you due to the impact young Lance Corporal Kerman, had on me and subsequently my squad in Third Battalion Second Marines. When we were in our final exercise prior to pushing out on deployment, I pulled one of the more recent Silver Star Citations I could find. I wanted to inspire my younger Marines and make them realize that the junior enlisted Marines were taking the fight to the enemy.  The citation reads as follows, KERMAN, ROBERT P. Citation: The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the Silver Star Medal to Robert P. Kerman, Lance Corporal, U.S. Marine Corps, for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity in action against the enemy while serving as Rifleman, Combined Anti-Armor Platoon, Weapons Company, Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, FIRST Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, on 25 March 2003, in support of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM. Lance Corporal Kerman exhibited exceptional bravery when the lead elements of the battalion were ambushed with mortars, rocket-propelled grenades, and automatic weapons fire. As the vehicle he was traveling in drove directly into machine gun fire and into a trench line, Lance Corporal Kerman sprang from the vehicle and began assaulting down the enemy-occupied trench with two other Marines. As enemy soldiers fired at him, he fearlessly plunged towards them firing his M-16 with lethal accuracy. Continuing to move through the trench he repeatedly came under enemy fire. Each time he would calmly occupy a steady firing position and take well-aimed shots that had devastating effects on the enemy. As the group ran out of ammunition, they pressed forward 200 to 300 meters utilizing captured enemy AK- 47s. Lance Corporal Kerman showed no regard for his own personal safety, and his actions directly contributed to the successful outcome of the engagement. By his bold leadership, wise judgment, and complete dedication to duty, Lance Corporal Kerman reflected great credit upon himself and upheld the highest traditions of the Marine Corps and the United States Naval Service.  18 years later, I met Robert Kerman at the Post 9983 VFW in Holly Ridge while shooting with some buddies of mine. The introduction was anti-climactic for everyone but me, we all shot and had a great time. I was honored to attend his retirement last month on Camp Lejeune and have been looking forward to bringing you all this story.

The western political/media class has suddenly resurrected the phrase "Axis of Evil" in recent days to refer to the increasing intimacy between Russia and China, just in time for the 20th anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. Reading by Tim Foley.

We discuss coverage of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq and the US media's acceptance and promotion of the Bush administration's fabricated claims about Iraq.

In the immediate aftermath of the observance of 20 years of the March 19, 2003 invasion of Iraq and the catastrophe that proceeded to take place, we begin a series focusing on the deep origins which will go all the way back to the late 70s. In part one, we read from "The Iraq Sanctions Myth" which details the exaggerated death toll brought by sanctions against Iraq throughout the 1990s, and how this was used to help make the case for invading.

The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 was based on the claim that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction. Twenty years later, it is clear that this was not the case, and many question the legitimacy of the decision to go to war. As we reflect on the past two decades, we consider the consequences and costs of the invasion, including its impact on Iraq, the Middle East, and the United States. Guests: Ali Al-Dabbagh Former Iraqi government spokesman Thomas S. Warrick Director of The Future of DHS Project at Atlantic Council Afzal Ashraf Senior UK Government Advisor

Brothers-in-law Amit and Tony think about the 20th anniversary of the American invasion of Iraq. We will never understand why George W, Bush, Dick Cheney, and crew are not locked up as war criminals, but we do have our differences on American power in the world.

Political and media historian Brian Rosenwald talks with Matt about Joe Biden's reelection chances. They also discuss the 20th anniversary of the Iraq Invasion.

This week on Sinica, Kaiser is joined by Michael J. Mazarr, author of the book Leap of Faith: Hubris, Negligence, and America's Greatest Foreign Policy Tragedy, which examines the decision to invade Iraq in March 2003. Mike is a senior political scientist at the Rand Corporation and a former professor at the National War College, and he warns of certain parallels between what happened 20 years ago and the growing sense of urgency and moral imperative to confront China that he now senses in Washington.3:40 – Patterns that lead to poor decision-making in the realm of foreign policy and warfare8:30 – Parallels between American discourse on Iraq and China13:54 – American exceptionalism and the missionary mindset 15:51 – Much like the US experience after 9/11, could an equivalent “deeply felt imperative” trigger catastrophic conflict with China?21:15 – The danger of moralistic thinking overriding rational cost-benefit analysis27:37 – What does Washington hope to gain from the imputation of CCP illegitimacy? 31:47 – Debunking the claim that Washington exaggerates threats for the sake of increasing the defense budget35:49 – The role of media and Congress in the lead-up to the Iraq war40:49 – The difference between effective policymaking and policy negligence: assessing the Bush and Biden administrations 47:29 – Adapting the liberal “rules-based international order” to reflect contemporary realities 52:27 – The shortcomings of a reductionist “democracy vs. authoritarianism” foreign policyA full transcript of this podcast is available at TheChinaProject.com.Recommendations:Mike: Mr. X and the Pacific by Paul Heer; The Guardians: Kingman Brewster, His Circle, and the Rise of the Liberal Establishment by Geoffrey KabaserviceKaiser: Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution by R.F.

This week's Urban Valor episode features U.S. Army Black Hawk Crew Chief veteran Joe Higgins. In this episode, Joe talks about his admiration for his grandfather who inspired him to join the Army. After Joe talks about flying mission after mission during Operation Iraqi Freedom, he leaves us with the importance of getting involved in veteran organizations and the importance of having a purpose post service.  Urban Valor shares the incredible stories of our Veterans. We don't look for particular stories, we look for any Veteran Story, combat or non-combat.

This podcast is by far the most intense and incredible that I've recorded to date.  I had no idea about Mike's story when we sat down, but I quickly realized Mike's life has been incredible.  Mike Clancy served as a Force Recon Marine for 8 years and GRS (global response staff) for 4 years.  He did 13 total tours in Iraq and Afghanistan including the initial invasion into Iraq.  3 were combat tours as a Marine, and 10 were tours working for the CIA.  On the podcast Mike talks about the invasion and how quiet it was until all of a sudden they were caught by surprise from an attack in which they sustained the first casualty of the war.  From there Mike shares how intense the fighting was and how hard the conditions were.  In addition to his amazing and difficult time as a Marine, Mike's childhood and homelife was even more chaotic.  Mike grew up in a home that was unstable to say the least.  He talks about his dad who was trafficking drugs, the number of times he moved, and his difficulties as a lanky white kid in mostly black gang areas.  After the war Mike was stuggling to find himself and find peace.   Amazingly Mike had the opportunity to purge his demons through several Ayahuasca ceremonies.  He talks a lot about how good this experience was for him and how beneficial it could be for anyone struggling with issues from their past.  Currently Mike works for Black Rifle Coffee, enjoys practicing Ju Jitsu, and hunting.  Mike is one of the nicest people I've met and I found his stories and life incredible.  Instagram@fancy_schmancy_clancywww.montanaknifecompany.comInstagram@montanaknifecompany@joshsmithknives

This episode of the Mighty Oaks Show is a little different than our typical episode, but still an important one. Jeremy Stalnecker highlights the 18th Anniversary of the Iraq Invasion and shares his 1st person perspective of this historic event.

The fellas come together and have a bit a military episode. The Iraq War turned 18 so we couldn't resist discussing how these controversial events have shaped significant parts of our own lives. The first hour is heavy on the military front. We discuss the nature of the Iraq Invasion and subsequent occupation and the latest controversy surrounding women in the armed forces. The second hour lightens up as we transition to current events and discuss the tragic shooting in Atlanta (1:13:00), the state of Covid-19 (1:23:35), and some miscellaneous topics! Thanks as always for the support! This Friday 3/26, join us live on Twitch at 8pm EST as we enjoy a whiskey tasting and learn the ins and outs of the stuff!

Neil Clark, journalist and broadcaster, joins us to discuss the anniversary of the US invasion of Iraq. Anti-war activists argue that the US should pay reparations to the people of Iraq after nearly two decades of misery and death set upon them by an illegal war. Also, ten years ago Julian Assange and WikiLeaks infuriated the US empire and its vassal states by releasing details of war crimes in Iraq. Today, Assange pays the price for exposing the moral decadence of US imperialism.Dr. Iyabo Obasanjo, professor at College of William and Mary and daughter of former Nigerian President Olusegun Obasanjo, joins us to discuss the coronavirus. The US is reopening fully as stimulus checks arrive, and the roads and stores are packed with spring shoppers. Also, the AstraZeneca vaccine is shown to have about 79% effectiveness against the coronavirus as investigations into the possibility of complications with blood clots continue. Scott Ritter, former UN weapon inspector in Iraq, joins us to discuss his latest articles on President Biden's insults towards Russian President Vladimir Putin. Ritter argues that the international debacle of insulting a head of state would be laughable if the potential consequences were not so dire. Also, Ritter posits that US Secretary of State Tony Blinken's verbal assault on China's diplomats will surely backfire.Dr. Gerald Horne, professor of history at the University of Houston, author, historian, and researcher, joins us to discuss the Biden administration's week of major foreign policy bungles. The Biden administration has alarmed both allies and adversaries alike, as they have threatened sanctions against Germany, India, Russia and China in the space of 72 hours. The buster and bravado may be playing well amongst the Washington neocon punditry, but none of the moves appears to be consistent with Biden's stated foreign policy objectives.Caleb Maupin, journalist and political analyst, joins us to discuss the strategic alliance between Russia and China. The alliance between military superpower Russia and economic superpower China is growing in response to the unhinged aggressive policies of the Washington, DC-foreign policy consensus. Also, North Korea is refusing dialogue with US diplomats because of their harsh aggressive tone, and China is stating that they are ready to step in and preside over peace on the Korean peninsula.Ted Rall, a political cartoonist and syndicated columnist, joins us to discuss the influence of dark money in US elections. Alan Macleod's latest Mintpress article argues that the billion dollars of domestic dark money that the ultra-wealthy and major corporations spent on the 2020 elections are treated as business as usual by the US media while they push evidence-free conspiracy theories about the influence of memes on Facebook. Joe Lauria, editor-in-chief at Consortium News, joins us to talk about the never-ending saga of "Russia-gate." In his latest article, Lauria argues that "when it comes to national security reporting, corporate journalists have time and again shown they are practicing something other than journalism." He goes on to illustrate how the latest US intelligence assessment gives cover for President Joe Biden to continue the absurd aggressive confrontation. Also, US entanglement in endless wars and internal instability have convinced the Chinese that Western-style democracy is not as attractive as their socialist alternative. KJ Noh, peace activist, writer and teacher, joins us to discuss China. A series of spectacular stumbles including the 2008 economic crash and a bungled response has demonstrated to China that America's financial system is a paper tiger. Also, US entanglement in endless wars and internal instability have convinced the Chinese that Western style-democracy is not as attractive as their socialist alternative.

1st wave of Iraq invasion & alcoholics w/ hammers might be the title to this Socially distanced episode of Civilianization podcast. Plus thanks for the homemade pizza w/ @seabeevetbu3_ Awesome time great catching up it'll be on all podcast platforms soon. So good seeing this dude BTW this is the Vokey I've been saying Fuck you too at the end of some past podcasts.

Retired 1SG Tim LaSage was on the podcast. We talked about his journey into the Marine Corps. How he got onto FAST, becoming a Scout Sniper, the Iraq Invasion and many more stories. We talked about transitioning and life after service. This is part 1 of many more we plan on doing.   Tim has a lot of military experience but continues to mentor veterans on professional development, he is also very active in the MIL/Vet community. 

We got to talk to Tim Murphy, author of the novels Correspondents & Christodora!  This episode focuses on his latest novel (Correspondents).  The book is incredible and we recommend it to everyone.  Elements of the novel’s plot include the US invasion of Iraq, migration, and blended families (in this case, a mixed Irish & Lebanese family in the US).  This is a powerful novel which conveys some of the most complex human feelings that are not often put into words (such as some of the darkest, hard-to-talk-about moral dilemmas).  Enjoy the book and enjoy this wonderful convo!  We think you’ll…

On the first anniversary of the Alseran ruling, where it was found that detainees in British military custody in Iraq had suffered inhuman and degrading treatment, and had been unlawfully detained. The Bonavero Institute of Human Rights, together with Leigh Day, hosted a seminar to discuss the implications of recent case law on British military detention in Iraq. Revd Nicholas Mercer (formerly of Army Legal Services) will share his experiences in Iraq at the outset of the war and his thoughts on the judgment in Alseran and Ors v MoD. Dr Melanie Jacques (Leigh Day) will provide an in-depth analysis of Alseran and Ors v MoD and Al-Waheed/Serdar Mohammed (No.2) v MoD, the legal developments leading up to these cases and the legal issues and principles arising from them. Leigh Day represented the Claimants in Alseran and Ors v MoD and Al-Waheed/Mohammed (No.2).

Kerik has led a fascinating life and been at the center of some of the biggest events in American history. He has fascinating stories about his days being NYC Police Commissioner and what it was like being Commissioner on that fateful day - 9/11, the chaos of that day, and how things changed forever in America as a result of the attack. He describes how we fight terrorism today, his experience in charge of the Iraqi Coalition after the Iraq Invasion and much more.

https://onthegroundshow.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/OTG-MAR30-2018-DIST-SMALL.mp3 On today's show, truth and lies in the news. 'Gaslighting' is a form of manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, hoping to make them question their own memory, perception, and sanity. We speak with media critic Janine Jackson and with our geopolitical analyst Gerald Horne. Also, unheard voices from the March for Our Lives and headlines. Headlines: -States signaled this week that they will sue the Trump administration to block it from adding a question about citizenship to the 2020 census. -Public Citizen files suit against the Department of Education to force it to release information about its management of the TEACH grant program. Thousands of teachers are being saddled wrongly with high-interest loans. -Lawsuit alleging Trump is violating the Constitution, due to his ownership of Trump International Hotel, allowed to proceed. -Earth Hour celebrated around the world. -Gerald Horne on U.S.-Russia relations and new trade pact for Africa.

Civilians have begun returning to Afrin days after Turkish-backed forces ousted the YPG. We ask what comes next? Plus, it's been 15 years since then US president George W Bush launched an invasion of Iraq. We debate the legacy of US intervention and whether Iraq is better off today than under Saddam Hussein. And French authorities detain ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy for accepting election funds from former Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, while Gaddafi's son Saif al Islam announces his own presidential bid.

Jeremy Greenstock is the Chairman of the strategic advisory company, Gatehouse Advisory Partners, established in September 2010, and Chairman of Lambert Energy Advisory, the oil and gas specialists, since January 2012. Born in 1943, Sir Jeremy was educated at Harrow School and Worcester College, Oxford. His principal career was with the British Diplomatic Service, ending his career as UK Permanent Representative at the United Nations in New York (1998-2003) and then, after a suspension of his retirement, as the UK Special Envoy for Iraq (September 2003-March 2004). After three years as an Assistant Master at Eton College, he joined the Diplomatic Service in 1969. The two themes of his career were the Middle East and US/Western European Relations. He studied Arabic at the Middle East Centre for Arab Studies, Lebanon (1970-72) and went on to serve in Dubai and Saudi Arabia in the early 1970s and mid 1980s respectively. From 1974-1978 he was Private Secretary to Ambassadors Peter Ramsbotham and Peter Jay in the British Embassy in Washington, starting a total of ten years spent in Washington and New York on US and Transatlantic business. After a spell as Political Counsellor in Paris (1987-90), Sir Jeremy came back to London as Director for Western and Southern Europe, the foundation for a number of years’ work on the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy and in particular on the Balkans, Cyprus and Gibraltar. He returned to Washington as Minister (Deputy Ambassador) in 1994-95, and was then brought back to London as Director General for Eastern Europe and the Middle East (1995) and then Political Director (1996-98). After chairing the European Union’s Political Committee during the UK Presidency in the first half of 1998, he moved to New York as UK Ambassador to the UN in July 1998. As the UK’s Representative on the Security Council up to July 2003, he worked extensively on matters of peace and security in Africa, the Middle East, the Balkans and South Asia, but particularly on Iraq. He chaired the Council’s Counter-Terrorism Committee from October 2001 to April 2003. Sir Jeremy left government service in March 2004, after seven interesting months in Baghdad. He became Director of the Ditchley Foundation, the conference centre in Oxfordshire promoting transatlantic dialogue, in August 2004, a position he left in August 2010. He was also a Special Adviser to the BP Group from 2004 to 2010, a Non-Executive Director of De La Rue from 2005 to 2013, a Governor of the London Business School from 2005 to 2008 and Chairman of the UN Association in the UK from 2011 to 2016. He now works concurrently as a Member of the Chatham House Council, as a Special Adviser to the NGO Forward Thinking, as a policy adviser to the International Rescue Committee (UK) and as co-Chair of the European Eminent Persons Group on Middle East issues.
