Sonic Overload 3/21/11

This week’s show begins with a brief BBC News clip from 2003 about the US invasion of Iraq, which happened on March 20, 2003. The bombing of Baghdad was called “shock and awe.” The beginning of an illegal war and Obama finally ended military operations last year. As I say on the show, there are still troops in Afghanistan and, this past weekend, bombing of Libya has commenced as well. Obama claims it will be a short operation but I think we’ve all heard that before... let’s hope it’s actually true this time. I’m still sorting through the information out there and trying to find out (as everyone else is) what’s going on, the motivations, etc. The claim is it’s to prevent Khadafy (or however you spell it) from killing the anti-government rebels in eastern Libya.

So much going on—Libya, the nuclear meltdowns and devastation in Japan, the ongoing labor struggles in Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio. I don’t take up the entire show discussing these issues but urge people to try to inform themselves and not rely on the mainstream news media—ESPECIALLY Fox News but I think most of you know that already...
