Prior to Tuesday night's State of the Union Address from President Obama, The Young Turks Power Panel of Crooks and Liars managing editor, Tina Dupuy, United Republic's Zaid Jilani and comedian and Stephanie Miller Show regular John Fugelsang discuss what progressives would like to hear the President say during his speech.

From Thursday night's Power Panel on Current TV's The Young Turks, C&L's own managing editor Tina Dupuy joined Think Progress' Zaid Jilani and The Huffington Post's Zach Carter to discuss whether Newt Gingrich is going to quit throwing bombs into the GOP presidential primary race with his attack ads on Mitt Romney.

I also included a portion of their second topic, the right wing talking point that our civilian leadership always have to "listen to the commanders" on the ground as an excuse for perpetual military engagements and how well that would have worked out for us if we'd listened to the Pat Buchanan's of the world and his ilk.
