Front & Center with John Callaway: The War on Terror, Progress or Regression? January 31, 2008

THE WAR ON TERROR: PROGRESS OR REGRESSION?

WHAT: Front & Center with John Callaway, Chicago’s only monthly public affairs program on military affairs, analyzes the status of the War on Terror.

WHY: As we approach the 5th anniversary of the fall of Baghdad, where do America and her allies stand in the "Long War" in Iraq, Afghanistan, and around the world? Has "the surge" brought progress, as claimed by the military? Can the Iraqi leadership stabilize the country? How will the revised intelligence assessment affect our course with Iran and its nuclear program? Pakistan is facing a volatile domestic situation, in the aftermath of the assassination of Benazir Bhutto, and Afghanistan is coping with a resurgent Taliban. How do they play into the mix? Join John Callaway and his guests as they analyze the status of the War on Terror on “Front & Center.”

WHERE: Pritzker Military Library, 610 N. Fairbanks Court, Chicago.

WHEN: The presentation and live webcast will begin on Thursday, January 31st, at 6:00 p.m.
