Listen Now: 
Exit Strategies
June 23rd, 2005In The Week in Review, a water main is broken in Baghdad, emboldened politicians in Washington call for a withdrawal timeline, and more violence in Iraq.
Then, War News Radio looks at America’s options for an exit from Iraq. We hit the streets to find the opinions of people shopping at Walmart and drinking lattes at Starbucks. That’s followed up with a more scientific Pew report on public opinion.
Next, we explore the surprising turnaround of North Carolina congressman Walter Jones. At one point, he wanted to rename French fries because of France’s position on Iraq. Now he’s calling for a plan to withdraw our troops.
Also, expert Juan Cole gives us his opinion on various proposals for getting out of Iraq and offers his own alternative.
An Iraqi college student tells Amelia Templeton that he doesn’t like the troops, but fears lawlessness if they leave.
Finally, in the first installment of Iraq 101, Professor John Turner brings us an earlier story of oil, airpower, and occupation, starring King Faisal.

Your broadcasts reveal a tremendous political bias. The topics, the stories, the writing, the questions, the information shared is so far left you make NPR look conservative. What’s more unfortunate is that you probably think your broadcasts are just telling it like it is. Maybe you should tune into Glenn Beck’s radio show here in Philly to get a real sense of what’s going on!
