Wesley Clark fans may be interested in this interview (warning: you'll have to fast-forward through a bunch of fundraising pleas before the interview starts) in which he says the Dems have set themselves up for a fall by focusing on troop levels and such instead of wider Middle East strategy.

This series of interviews with IR scholars who predicted most everything that's happened in Iraq is also worthwhile. Particularly interesting is the one with MIT's Steve Van Evera, who notes that the press not only failed to examine the war's faulty premises but also the cultlike figures behind it. And the public still doesn't know who's advising Dick on Iran.
