guest speaker scheduled for the 151st meeting of the Karl Hess Club, to
convene on January 15, 2007.
Jack Kugler
on "The Horse in Midstream: The War Presidency, Iraq, and a Future Free
From Terror"
Each new year we pause and reflect
on the past. Jack Kugler will revisit the issues he explored at the
KHC during his talk of February 17, 2003 on "The War Presidency and the
Prospects for Conflict" during the run up to the Iraq War. He will
explore how "war presidencies" differ from those focused on domestic concerns.
He'll also analyze how the electoral
shift in Congress may affect foreign policy during the remainder of the
Bush Administration and its impact on the 2008 elections.
