Full Program	LISTEN TO FULL PROGRAM
Part 1	We begin with the gathering gloom over Afghanistan where the 2,000th U.S. soldier was killed by Afghan “allies” and the U.S. general in charge just told “60 Minutes” that “were willing to sacrifice a lot for this campaign, but we’re not willing to be murdered for it.” A former United Nations Political Officer who worked in Afghanistan, Chris Fair joins us to discuss an accelerated exit from Afghanistan and a likely civil war to follow.
Part 2	Then we examine another futile war in a failed state, Somalia, where Kenyan soldiers have captured the southern port of Kismayo that the al Shabab militia have apparently abandoned. Robert Young Pelton, the founder and publisher of Somaliareport.com joins us to discuss the newly-assertive Kenyan military and his article at Foreign Policy “Hijacked: How the U.N. Saved the Somali Pirates from the Brink of Extinction”.
Part 3	Then finally, we discuss what we won’t be hearing in Wednesday night’s presidential debate with Mattea Kramer, a Senior Research Analyst at the National Priorities Project. She has an article at the Huffington Post and Tomdispatch, “Tough Talk for America: A Guide to the Presidential Debates You Won’t Hear.
