Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM	-
Part 1	We begin with the battle for Aleppo in Syria that the Assad regime has oddly characterized as “the mother of all battles”. A former member of the State Department’s Policy Planning Staff on the Middle East, Henri Barkey joins us to discuss the increasing desperation and destructiveness of the regime and the continuing disarray amongst the opposition.
Part 2	Then we examine Mitt Romney’s visit to Israel where he has met with his close friend Prime Minister Netanyahu and will meet later with Sheldon Adelson and other of his major donors for a fundraiser at the King David Hotel on Monday. The former Director of Policy Analysis for the Israel Policy Forum M.J. Rosenberg joins us to discuss the difference between Obama’s unshakeable support for Israel and Romney’s unconditional support for Israel.
Part 3	Then finally Aaron David Miller joins us. He is a Public Policy Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and has been a Middle East advisor to six secretaries of state. His latest book is “Can America Have Another Great President” and he has an article at CNN “Will Israel Trip Help Romney?” that offers an historical perspective on the relationships of past U.S. presidents with Israeli leaders.
