Part 1

 Today we look into Libya, and the shifting political sands in the Middle East as the “Arab Spring” claims another dictator. Veteran CIA Middle East operative Robert Baer joins us to analyze the fast and unfolding collapse of the 42 year Qaddafi regime and what kind of regime might replace it, and how this latest domino of falling dictatorships will influence events in Syria, Palestine and Iran.

Part 2

 Then we talk with the author of a groundbreaking book that unveils the secret history of our machinations and deals with oil dictatorships in the Persian Gulf as only a few decades ago, the US suddenly moved from an oil exporter to a country increasingly dependent on Middle East oil. Andrew Scott Cooper, the author of “The Oil Kings: How the US, Iran and Saudi Arabia Changed the Balance of Power in the Middle East”, joins us.
