About The Heritage Foundation

Founded in 1973, The Heritage Foundation is a research and educational institution—a think tank—whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise, limited government, individual freedom, traditional American values, and a strong national defense. We believe the principles and ideas of the American Founding are worth conserving and renewing. As policy entrepreneurs, we believe the most effective solutions are consistent with those ideas and principles.

In March of this year, the current commander of U.S. forces in Iraq, Lt. Gen. Raymond Odierno, spoke at Heritage about why the surge has succeeded so far, and what must be done to preserve our gains. You can read his remarks here.

    It would be helpful to see more frequently the slides about which Gen. Petraeus is speaking.

    Loved the Breshnev opening. Excellent presentation of facts.Inspires hope for the Iraqi people (and for us)!Still work to be done though. Loved the Irish reconciliation model.Great answer to the “should we talk to our enemies” question: The Anaconda schema was very helpful in understanding the complexities of action with diplomacy. Thank you Heritage for streaming this!
