Abizaid spoke at my university as well, but unfortunately I had a math midterm at the same time so I couldn’t go. I did, however, get a chance to listen to Tahir al-Bakaa, the ex-Iraqi minister of education, speak and tell us about the military progress in Iraq and that withdrawing prematurely is a bad idea.
I’m sure UC Burkaley will love this.
I don't expect any problems as they really don't publicize this lecture except to their mailing/email list.
Chester Nimitz pays for this and he even gives us a little reception afterwards.
I really want to hear the CIA guy on TH too.
