What with the president of the United States of America turfing us out of our time slot, The Independents tonight on Fox Business Network will air live at the special time of 11 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. PT, to make sense out of our latest military adventure in and around Mesopotamia.

Coming on to chew on various aspects of the news are:

* Rep. Kerry Bentivolio (R-Mich.), a politician out of the Ron Paul tradition, who will make the case for Congress being able to vote up or down on this war.

* Col. Ralph Peters (ret.), who will assess the president's military strategy.

* Beloved Reason Contributing Editor Michael C. Moynihan, who will sub in for a traveling Kmele Foster (who is nonetheless scheduled to join us from San Francisco at the end of the show).

* Frequent foreign policy guest Michael Weiss, who will team up with "Progressive Messaging Expert and all around good guy" Richard Fowler to provide analysis of the speech.

* Ex-CIA dude Mike Baker, who will talk about former vice president Dick Cheney's big 9/11 anniversary speech today.

* Cabby-turned comedian Jimmy Failla, who will talk about the latest damning-to-the-NFL news coming out of the Ray Rice scandal.

No after-show, on account of the clock, but there should be enough juice to keep you interested for the original 60. Follow The Independents on Facebook at facebook.com/IndependentsFBN, follow on Twitter @ independentsFBN, and click on this page for more video of past segments.
