According to the new calculations of the Social Security Trustees’ 2012 Report, Social Security’s future costs are a lot bigger than its future income.

With the initiation of Operation "Odyssey Dawn" in Libya, the United States has entered a third war in the greater Middle East. Discussing this complex and confusing situation will be AEI scholars Thomas Donnelly, Paul Wolfowitz, and Danielle Pletka, joined by Michael O'Hanlon and Kenneth Pollack from the Brookings Institution.

The rapid ticking of the Iran nuclear clock also marks an increasingly dark hour for the United States and its closest allies and partners, because it coincides with a third clock that Pollack did not imagine in 2004: the timetable of retreat set in motion by Barack Obama.

At this AEI event, Kimberly Kagan will discuss her new book, which provides readers with a thorough understanding of how the operations, widely known as "the surge," dramatically brought Iraq away from the tragedy of civil war.

Things Fall Apart provides an invaluable framework from which policymakers across the political spectrum might begin to develop strategies to contain a collapsing Iraqi state.

Please note this event will take place at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, Senate Room 203/202.

Senator Joseph I. Lieberman and a panel of experts will discuss the upcoming elections in Iran as well as unveiling AEI's new website, IranTracker.org.
