The War Party Unleashed w/ Scott Horton
New episode with special guest Scott Horton
Our guest this week is old friend Scott Horton, who is the longtime host of The Scott Horton Show, editorial director of Antiwar.com, and author of several books, including, “Enough Already: Time to End the War on Terrorism.”
Scott and I have been talking about endless U.S. wars since the mid-2000s, hammering at American policies in Iraq and Afghanistan, then later Libya and Syria. I ask him to identify the threads of Washington War Party failures from before 9/11 all the way to the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel today.
Turns out this is the darkest daisy chain ever — myopic anti-Russia strategy, coupled with the neoconservative plans hatched under the Project for a New American Century (and even earlier) have run parallel to one another and wreaked global havoc, since the 1990’s. Today’s wars are an apotheosis, but not likely the end.

Thanks for posting that! I especially appreciate it because Scott has been so busy working on his book that he doesn't have time to put out many episodes of the Scott Horton Show, and I have been feeling a little deprived. And then, on this, my birthday, this appeared in my inbox. Great birthday present!
