What did Mother Teresa do about the 1990 US-Iraq war? She prayed. She pleaded. She wrote a letter to George Bush and Saddam Hussein. She went to Iraq and opened a house there. Her reaction to being in the Middle East is remarkable.  

Former US Secretary of State John Kerry was sent out by the tone-deaf Biden Administration to shore up condemnation of Putin over the Russian invasion of Ukraine. One French journalist dared to ask the obvious question: what about when the US did it? Also today: Constitutional law professor Jonathan Turley wonders why the US House is not asking "who lied" about the Hunter Biden investigation.

In Iraq, some scars of the US-led invasion remain hidden, even as the 20th anniversary is marked this week. The US military for years disposed of waste in burn pits: wide swathes of land, constantly smoking. Some were the size of a football field. In them were plastics, electronics, and military and medical waste. The environmental impacts of the invasion – including those burn pits – continue to plague Iraqis to this day. After years of lobbying, the US government approved legislation to address the health impacts on US soldiers, but there has been no discussion of compensation for the Iraqi civilians.

Often during Hollings Center dialogues, there are two voices that we remember. These are two people that may come from two entirely different backgrounds and are eager to solve a challenge of mutual interest. Our dialogues, in-person and virtual, provide a unique venue that allows these individuals to not just express their opinions but also explain how they got there. This podcast series will pick up where the dialogue finished and take those conversations even further. To learn more about our dialogue programs, visit www.hollingscenter.org

July 27th, 2021 daily recap of the news headlines.

Our guest this week is Brandon Wolfe-Hunnicutt, professor of history at California State University, Stanislaus, and author of numerous works appearing in the pages of Diplomatic History and Reviews in American History, among other places. Brandon's most recent work, The Paranoid Style in American Diplomacy: Oil and Arab Nationalism in Iraq (Stanford, 2021) “weaves together histories of Arab nationalists, US diplomats, and Western oil execs to tell the parallel stories of the Iraq Petroleum Company and the resilience of Iraqi society.” He joined us for a two hour discussion on his personal and political background and what brought him to his scholarship on the historiography of US-Iraq relations. We're very happy to share this conversation here in Episode 24.   Of particular interest to our previous explorations of the strategic vision of American foreign policy planners, Professor Wolfe-Hunnicutt dispels the “oil scarcity myth” through an anti-imperialist lens. He explains that the history of oil nationalization in Iraq shows both the political savvy of anti-colonial Iraqi political agents throughout the post-World War II and Cold War periods, as well as the fractured unity of imperialist state bureaucracies. Brandon's book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the deeper political context of US depredations in Iraq and the Middle East, offering a challenging and unique perspective on the origins of the national security state,  the country's bloody record of anti-Communism, and threat inflation as means of imperialist intervention. It is filled with rich historical specificities of paranoid State Department actors and the anti-colonial resistance they faced on the ground. Patreon subscribers will also receive a bonus episode in which Brandon takes us through his research methodology, including recent forays into early modern political philosophy. Thanks for listening.

When the brutal Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was captured in 2003, senior CIA leadership analyst John Nixon was called in to confirm his identity and became the first person to conduct a prolonged interrogation of the man known as the “Butcher of Bagdad.”  He talks about it in his new book Debriefing the President: The Interrogation of Saddam Hussein. Today Nixon recalls the surreal experience of debriefing one of the most notorious men of our time.  He’ll discuss Saddam’s sadistic sense of humor, his personal heroes, and how his opinion of his fellow leaders in the Middle East.  He’ll talk about Saddam’s delusional view of the US-Iraq relationship, why he thought 9/11 should’ve brought the two countries closer, and his almost prophetic warnings about the rise of extremism and chaos in the region.  Nixon will also reveal what President George W. Bush asked him about Saddam and he’ll weigh in on the Russia-Trump Intelligence Report.

Charles Duelfer was one of the most senior intelligence officers with on-the-ground experience to have worked in Iraq before, during, and after the Gulf War. While serving as the leader of the CIA’s Iraq Survey Group, his 2004 report is widely renowned as the most authoritative account on the relationship of the Saddam regime to weapons of mass destruction, as well as how the world was led to believe that Iraq possessed WMDs. But until now, Duelfer has never publicly shared his expertise on just how the US-Iraq relationship spiraled into a second war, and the lessons that can be applied to the challenges ahead in Iran and North Korea.

Today I had the honor to speak with Jonathan Jenkins, a US Iraq veteran, a business owner, and a congressional candidate in Maryland's 6th district.
