Yet there remains significant disagreement and confusion concerning the time necessary to withdraw all U.S. forces from Iraq.</p> <p>On August 11, The Center for American Progress hosted an event to release an updated version of "How to Redeploy: Implementing a Responsible Drawdown of U.S. Forces from Iraq." The report, which takes into account recent developments on the ground, demonstrates that an orderly and safe withdrawal of all U.S. forces is best achieved over an 8- to 10-month period.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/48657-out-of-iraq-how-to-redeploy-highlights">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/47623-sen-john-kerry-a-new-approach-to-fighting-terrorism 2008-10-08T02:43:44Z seeprogress <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/4pKdn6HT3ws&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/4pKdn6HT3ws&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/47623-sen-john-kerry-a-new-approach-to-fighting-terrorism"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/57017" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>http://www.americanprogressaction.org/events/2008/07/senkerry.html</p> <p>Five years after Donald Rumsfeld asked whether we are capturing and killing more terrorists than we are creating, the answer remains deeply uncertain and troubling. Global terrorist attacks are near historic highs, and this month Secretary Gates acknowledged that we cannot capture and kill our way to victory over the terrorists. We need a new approach to this fight, one that emphasizes stopping the breeding of future terrorists as much as eliminating the current ones.</p> <p>Drawing on insights from his recent trips to Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Middle East, Senator John Kerry (D-MA) will discuss a different framework for the "war on terror", a global counterinsurgency campaign that uses all elements of U.S. national power to address this threat more effectively.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/47623-sen-john-kerry-a-new-approach-to-fighting-terrorism">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/44094-john-mccain-speech-01-07-08 2008-07-01T09:07:32Z IssueAlliance <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/QZObiX-YKCE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/QZObiX-YKCE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/44094-john-mccain-speech-01-07-08"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/50441" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>John McCain <br />Speech <br />Exeter, NH 01/07/08</p> <p>TRANSCRIPT: <br />JOHN MCCAIN: "I want to tell you that I'm the only one running for President that saw the failed strategy of Rumsfeld, said it would fail, fought against it, said I had no confidence in the Secretary of Defense.

Nearly seven years after 9/11, its media outreach programme broadcasts messages on the airwaves and the internet, attempting to radicalise unaffiliated sympathisers into violent action. Regional groups in Iraq, Algeria and elsewhere place themselves under its brand in an effort to magnify their importance and gain funding as terrorist franchises. The threat from al-Qaida is diffuse, but US and foreign intelligence agencies have reached a strikingly unanimous conclusion that the core organisational leadership has re-formed itself.</p> <p>Its location? Pakistan.</p> <p>Al-Qaida has, in the words of the US director for national intelligence's February 2008 Annual Threat Assessment, "retained or regenerated key elements of its capability, including top leadership, operational mid-level lieutenants and de facto safe haven in Pakistan's border area with Afghanistan". Top officials at the CIA, state department and Joint Chiefs of Staff have all echoed this assessment in recent months. And under questioning from the Senate armed services committee at his confirmation hearing for the position of Centcom commander, which carries responsibility for Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as Iraq, General David Petraeus finally added his voice to this warning chorus as well. CAP Senior Fellow Brian Katulis, author of THE PROSPERITY AGENDA, traveled to Pakistan recently and brought back this video report.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/43169-pakistan-the-prosperity-agenda-cap-s-katulis">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/42367-what-is-sustainable-security-cap-s-gayle-smith 2008-10-08T02:43:46Z seeprogress <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/9bUaJIfKrkg&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/9bUaJIfKrkg&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/42367-what-is-sustainable-security-cap-s-gayle-smith"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/47830" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/06/sustainable_security.html</p> <p>That much of the world has lost faith in America bodes ill for our national security because our role in the world is secured not simply by our military power or economic clout, but also by our ability to compel other nations to follow our lead. The next president will have the opportunity to craft a modern national security strategy that can equip the United States to lead a majority of capable, democratic states in pursuit of a global common good—a strategy that can guide a secure America that is the world’s “champion for all of us.”</p> <p>But positioning America to lead in a 21st century world will take more than extending a hand to our allies, fixing a long list of misdirected policies, or crafting a new national security strategy that is tough but also smart. With globalization providing the immutable backdrop to our foreign policy, America is today competing on a global playing field that is more complex, dynamic, and interdependent and thus far less certain than in the past.</p> <p>Leading in this new world will require a fundamental shift from our outdated notion of national security to a more modern concept of sustainable security—that is, our security as defined by the contours of a world gone global and shaped by our common humanity. Sustainable security combines three approaches:</p> <p> * National security, or the safety of the United States <br /> * Human ƒsecurity, or the well-being and safety of people <br /> * Collective ƒsecurity, or the shared interests of the entire world</p> <p>Sustainable security, in short, can shape our continued ability to simultaneously prevent or defend against real-time threats to America, reduce the sweeping human insecurity around the world, and manage long term threats to our collective, global security. This new approach takes into account the many (and ongoing) changes that have swept our planet since the end of the Cold War and the fall of the Soviet Union.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/42367-what-is-sustainable-security-cap-s-gayle-smith">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/38539-sen-chuck-hagel-r-neb-on-security-the-next-president 2008-09-22T14:47:34Z seeprogress <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bW69WfcEmJc&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bW69WfcEmJc&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/38539-sen-chuck-hagel-r-neb-on-security-the-next-president"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/43522" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/2008/05/hagel_event.html</p> <p>HIGHLIGHTS of Sen.
