On BBC's "World Have Your Say" 1300 EST today re: China

Hillary letting the Chinese have it in The Atlantic.
It's perfectly fine for the history books, but I suspect it makes her unworkable in her remaining time as far as the Chinese are concerned. Hence, they will concentrate on Geithner.
Bit of a cashing-out tactic, in my mind, that tells me she is really headed toward the door.
Show goes 1-2. Not sure when I'm on exactly.
POSTSCRIPT: I did only okay. Storming on the CoreGap Bulletin in my short stint at home before I head out for another speech tonight. Guests were uneven: some nutty anti-American former Bush official (Treasury), some good Chinese, Elizabeth Economy (fabulous expert on China's economy and environment) and Joel Kotkin, the demographer who wrote the "Next 100 Million" book.
I will post URL to podcast later. You can hear my home phone and iPhone go off simultaneously when I'm talking. "Brilliant!" as the Brits say (sarcastically here).

Hi Thomas. I'm the host of WHYS - we're delighted that you're coming on. I'm hoping you can be with us from 1pm EST and you're welcome to stay as long as you like (though we may shift onto the protests in Greece around 1.45). Looking forward to speak to you. Also, you may want to check out facebook.com/worldhaveyoursay
Cheers,

Dr. Barnett,
Nice conversation, and yeah P. Craig Roberts (the former Reagan Treasury official) has gone off the deep end these last ten years -- he appears on the Alex Jones Show, and is a 9/11 Truther, and that tells you all you need to know right there.
I'm surprised the show even had him on, because he's long since stopped being... well, sane!

A lot of formers come in two sizes: the guy who defends everything and the guy who condemns everything. Retired flags often fall into those two bins too. It's odd.
