Lessons Learned?  Reviewing the Troubled Effort to Rebuild Iraq

After six years and at least $50 billion in American money, what is there to show for the colossal reconstruction effort of Iraqi infrastructure?  American money and energy went to a huge variety of projects, from rehabilitating oil fields to construction of basic utilities like the power grid and water treatment plants, producing a few victories but many more failures in the plan to rebuild Iraq after the 2003 U.S. invasion.  A new report from the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction sums up the hard lessons learned in Iraq and attempts to follow the mysterious trails of billions of dollars that seemingly vanished in the Iraqi desert.

 

Guests:

Stuart Bowen, Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction

CALL HIM:   

 

  

2:20  – 2:40 

Lessons Learned—What About Afghanistan?

So if we can agree that the American effort to rebuild Iraq has produced, at best, mixed results, what kind of return have we seen from our investment in Afghanistan?  Somewhat of an afterthought during the military and construction missions in Iraq, Afghanistan will now move to the forefront of foreign policy in the new Obama administration.  Is it too late to learn from failures in Iraq in order to pull off a smarter, more effective rebuild of Afghanistan?

 

Guests:

TBD

 

 

2:40  –  3:00

Wired for War

At the moment, 12,000 robots are fighting the war on terror; one day human soldiers may even be obsolete. P.W. Singer's last two books foretold the advent of private military firms and child soldiers. Both proved to be unnervingly accurate. He joins us today with his new book, Wired for War: the Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century, predicting the dawn of robotic warfare, the most significant development in military affairs since the atom bomb.

P.W. Singer, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution, coordinator of the Obama-08 campaign's defense policy task force, author of Wired for War

The Super Bowl: Football, Booze, Food…and Ridiculous Bets

Gambling is as much a part of the Super Bowl as the football itself, and over the years the variety of bets a gambler can make on various elements of the big game has grown to silly proportions.  From the color of the Gatorade poured on the winning coach to the length of the national anthem, prop bets offers the most degenerate of gamblers the opportunity to blow through their money in the most nonsensical of ways.  What are this year’s best Super Bowl prop bets, and is there a science to winning?

Come out and view Ume Cherry Trees

in full blossom at

Schabarum Regional Park in Rowland Heights, CA

Rowland Heights -The Ume Cherry trees are in full blossom at the County of
Los Angeles, Schabarum Regional Park, and since their initial planting 17 years ago, they continue to bloom every year from mid January through February.  The fragrant   pink and white blossoms are only here for a short time, so come out soon and see these trees in all of their pink and white splendor. The trees are located at the far south section of the park between the youth campground and the equestrian concession areas.

 

Schabarum Regional Park’s Ume trees were donated in 1992 by Schabarum Park’s “sister-park,” Mito Kairakuen Park, located in Ibaraki Perfecture, Japan. The funds required to maintain the original 500-tree grove come from an initial donation by the same park in Japan.  The funds provide for inspections, required pruning, pest spray applications, or the replacement of dead trees.  These services are performed by a certified arborist who comes to the Park each week. 

 

Schabarum Park, located at 17250 Est Colima Road, Rowland Heights, CA 91748, charges a $4.00 vehicle entrance fee on weekends and holidays, but is free of charge during the week.  The park is currently open from 6:00 a.m. to dusk on week days and 7:00 a.m. to dusk on weekends. Park hours are extended during daylight savings time months.  For more information call: 626-854-5560 or the website at: www.parks.lacounty.gov:

CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL ALIENS COLLECT
$450 MILLION IN WELFARE IN 2008

 

LOS ANGELES COUNTY – Figures from the Department of Public Social Services show that children of illegal aliens in Los Angeles County collected $450 million in welfare and food stamps in 2008 – an increase of $25 million from the previous year, announced Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich

 

Annually the cost of illegal immigration to Los Angeles County taxpayers exceeds over one billion dollars, which includes $220 million for public safety, $400 million for healthcare, and $450 million in welfare and food stamps allocations.  Twenty-five percent of the County’s total allotment of welfare and food stamps benefits goes directly to the children of illegal aliens born in the United States. 

 

“Illegal immigration continues to have a devastating impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,” said Antonovich.  “The total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers exceeds $1 billion a year – not including the millions of dollars for education.”
