On GPS Sunday: Latest from Iraq, analysis of ISIS, and future of the space program
Watch "Fareed Zakaria GPS," this Sunday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. ET on CNN
On GPS this Sunday: First, the latest on Iraq and the advances made by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, as well as the U.S. military’s response. Also, Fareed offers his take on what the United States should be doing and why bolstering the Kurds is the key to success.
Then, Fareed will speak with counterinsurgency expert David Kilcullen before hearing from Ambassador Peter Galbraith, author of The End of Iraq: How American Incompetence Created a War without End, and the London School of Economics’ Fawaz Gerges about what we might be able to expect next.
Next, Fareed will be joined by The Atlantic’s Peter Beinart and Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens about U.S. policy over Iraq and Gaza.
Also, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium, discusses the state of the U.S. space program.

The United States and NATO should disolve the entire Middle East. I say we attack and move in within 48 hours. They have no real back bone. The ISIS can be easily defeated. Then we install a pro Western government. That'll show them.
But Middle East is already pro-western – pro-american. The problem is that United States is pro-asian (pro-chinese, pro-s.korean, ...), anti-NATO, anti-European.
That's right George. Just don't forget the drones. I say give em some shock and aww. Boom! That is the only word those people know.
Good evening George, Joseph. What we need is a good attack from the ground, sea, and air. Time for a modern version of D-Day. We have let things go on too far. Soon, ISIS will have dirty bombs.
I say nip it in the bud. And now!
3rd week in a row that CNNI has failed to show GPS at 11:00 GMT Sunday as scheduled, without comment or explanation. What's the problem?
The USA needs much better funding of its space programs. That may require cuts in our welfare programs, but, over a comfortable and realistic period of time, USA citizens need to return to a preference for capitalism and economic freedom.
National defence funding must always be a priority for our country.
Great Program!..But more importantly is the EBOLA Crisis right now!..The creator of this horrible virus was interviewed on a major TV network,apprx 4 yrs ago!..A male,Caucasian,PhD Biochemist: he stated during the interview that his team created the Virus to stop a feuding African tribe in the Congo,Africa that the USA did not support against the other tribe!..He showed no remorse durring the interview; it was on major network live(NBC,ABC,CNN,FOX, This should be looked into, the footage of this interview must be there to investigate...He must have the cure as well.Thank you for your followup!...
@ AL:
I certainly do not believe everything said on TV interviews. Do you, really?
That is like going into a major opera house and choosing to believe that none of the famous singers in the production has a concealed microphone in his wig or costume to create the illusion that his or her voice is actually big enough to be heard in that large a space, over the sound of an orchestra. That happens routinely.
There's no business like show business.
James Zogby when you are debating a topic with a female counterpart on CNN and you condescendingly call her "my dear" because you disagree with her you are telling the world that you think women are second-class citizens and intellectually inferior. Would anyone address a man this way on CNN?
I do not think that James Zogby views women with condescension at all. His use of a term like "my dear" would reflect a desire to avoid stilted formality, in my opinion.
I enjoyed Neil DeGrasse Tyson and thank you. The past weeks have presented overwhelming divisions that breaks the heart. Mr. Tyson, through his genuine response, not only made me smile but reminds us our planet's unity. What we can accomplish when working together is not only FUN but opens opportunity to build a better now and future. Mr.Tyson presents a view we use to know but seem to have forgotten: stay in awe of our universe, keep dreaming about the good, and the only thing holding us back is us.
There is a significant difference between an offense and a defense. The invasion of Iraq was an unnecessary offense. Assisting the Kurds to thwart the invasion of their lands is a defensive action. The US should do whatever is necessary to defend the Kurds. The Kurds were major players for the US in Desert Storm. That also was a defensive action.
The American Revolution was an offense, as I see it. That was, overall, a very positive and productive offense.
The GOP Solution: Turn all the Old, Sick, Poor, Non-white, Non-christian, Female, and Gay people into slaves. Then whip them until they are Young, Healthy, Rich, White, Christian, Male, and Straight. Or until they are dead. Then turn them into Soylent Green to feed the military during the next "unfunded/off-the-books" war. And don't forget the GOP all time favorites........TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH!!!..........and........GET RID OF SS AND MEDICARE!!!
@ The GOP Solution:
"TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH?"
The rich and corporations pay almost all of what the government spends.
The poor pay no income tax, so they cannot receive cuts on that. They do receive Benefits.
You're Poor. Do you pay tax?
Spot on GOP. Spot on buddy.
GOP. You are soooooo me.
I like pepperoni pizza.
@ chrissy,
So do I, but it"s becoming harder and harder to buy an edible pizza.
There is sugar and too much salt in most of them, even in NYC.
Many Americans vow that one cannot taste sugar in cooked food.
They cannot, I know: look at their stomachs, even in cool new urban couture, with its flatteringly loose amplitude.
In my experience, the same persons who cannot taste just a little bit of sugar in cooked food have horror of classical music.
NO JOEY YOURE HYPOTHESIS OF A POZITIVE CORELATION BETWEEN TASTEBUDS AND LOVE FORE CLASICAL MUSIC IS FAULTY THIS CANNOT BE TRUE
HOW DARE YOU MAKE SUCH ASERSION
@ Dr. Harper,
If my fellow Americans (US) had the brains and education needed to prefer Rachmaninoff, Brahms, and Shostakovitch to Rap, they would eat a diet similar to yours. Then you would have far fewer to comfort during their dying, and you would be so poor that your office would close in our country, and you would have to return to your native land, there to deal with Ebola.
USA alone is not powerful enough, but together with key NATO members, such as: Italy, France, GB, Turkey, Greece, ... PEACE can be established in the Middle East.
Fareeed: caught your GPS show on Sunday morning. WHY did you bring in neoconservative Bret Stephens? If you want someone to recite the AIPAC talking points, bring in the Israeli Ambassador!
