About This Event
The war has begun. Timely analysis of the rapidly advancing military campaign will be essential for understanding events as they unfold, as well as making the necessary policy decisions about rebuilding Iraq, regional stability, and relations with our European allies. With the war underway, what steps have been taken to ensure a federal, democratic Iraq replaces Saddam’s tyrannical regime?
Please note the new format: A military operations briefing with AEI defense scholar Tom Donnelly will precede the 9:00-10:30 am briefing on Tuesday morning. Please join us at 8:30 a.m. on March 25 for analysis of military actions in Iraq, hard-hitting analysis, thoughtful criticism, and free-flowing strong black coffee.
