Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Command of American military forces in Iraq changed hands this week, with Gen. Ray Odierno taking the baton from Gen. David Petraeus in Baghdad. American forces are looking to build on hard-earned security gains achieved during the past year. We explore the military’s evolving strategic approach to Iraq, and how new insights and old wisdom have informed U.S. counter-insurgency efforts.
