Michael T. Klare on Antiwar Radio

Michael T. Klare, professor and author, is interviewed on Antiwar Radio discussing his recent article “Is Barack Obama Morphing Into Dick Cheney?”, the Bush and Obama administrations’ striking policy similarities on oil geopolitics, peak oil theory and the disappearance of “easy” oil. Includes discussion of Cheney’s National Energy Policy of 2001, which advised more oil imports from Africa, and Obama’s expansion of AFRICOM to pursue terrorist threats (of course limited to the oil-producing regions).

Michael T. Klare is a professor of peace and world security studies at Hampshire College, a TomDispatch regular, and the author, most recently, of “The Race for What’s Left: The Global Scramble for the World’s Last Resources.”
