Inside Story - Obama's Middle East policy - Nov 10 - Part 1
America's drive to conclude a Middle East peace deal before President George Bush leaves office in January was always going to be wildly over-optimistic but Barack Obama is likely to set an equally pressing deadline to finish the job.
Barack Obama says he'll reshape US foreign policy with particular emphasis on the Middle East. He promises to put the Israeli-Palestinian conflict back on the American agenda. He blames the Bush administration for having neglected the issue. But is his position really that different? And is he free to change foreign policy?

Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 1: Surprise Attack
Part 1 - Surprise Attack. Enver Pasha, minister of war for the Ottoman Empire, agrees to a secret alliance with Germany in August 1914. Istanbul mobilizes its army but remains neutral for nearly three months. Eager for a fight against Russia, Enver orders the Turkish Black Sea Fleet to bombard Russian seaports on October 29th. The Triple Entente -- France, Russia and Great Britain -- reacts swiftly and declares war against the Turks within a week.
Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat operations in the Middle East during World War I have been largely overlooked in documentary programs. Given the historical significance of the Ottoman Empire's demise in 1918, and the ongoing importance of Middle Eastern oil reserves to Western economies, a close study of...

Fastest Growing City in the World! Middle East 2.0 - Dubai
As seen on 60 Minutes Dubai Inc. reported by Steve Kroft.
The Biggest Story in the World --- Dubai - home of the world's largest construction site and one of the most amazing stories in our world today.
While millions flock to Dubai annually, from an American perspective it's "the Middle East we don't know".
Still surrounded in misunderstanding by so many in the US, the massively positive story of Dubai and Middle East 2.0 is the real story of change in the Gulf.
It is a story of peaceful, constructive excellence and the pursuit of dreams. A story very much in line with true American values.
Dubai is a city in the emirate of Dubai which is part of the United Arab Emirates or UAE in the Persian Gulf. The UAE is part of the GCC, Gulf Cooperative Council, an economic group of...

Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 3: The Dardanelles
Part 3 - A Franco-British fleet under Admiral Sackville Carden bombards Ottoman fortifications along the Dardanelles Straits, hoping to break through to Istanbul. Carden has a nervous breakdown and Rear Admiral John de Robeck takes charge of the 16-battleship task force. On March 18th, three Allied battleships are sunk by mines and three others are disabled. De Robeck fears losing more ships and decides to call off the attack. Despite the pleas of First Admiralty Lord Winston Churchill, the Allied Fleet withdraws. If only one British battleship had made it to Istanbul, the entire course of the war might have changed.

Blood and Oil - Middle East in WWI Pt 20: Greco-Turkish War
Part 20 - Greco-Turkish War. The Allies, exhausted from four years of total war, readily accept Greece's offer to suppress the Turkish nationalist movement. On May 15, 1919, a Greek Army lands on the western coast of Turkey, with an Italian force also landing farther south. By July, Greek forces have captured a large portion of western Turkey, encountering little opposition.
Having disposed of the Armenian threat in the east, Turkish forces turn toward the Greek army in the west. In August 1922, the Turks launch a counter-offensive and drive the Greeks back toward Izmir (Smyrna) on the southwest coast of Turkey. On September 11th, the Turks recapture Izmir, and Kemal advances toward British forces at Istanbul.
Except for the Dardanelles/Gallipoli campaigns, the extensive combat...
