The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
Today in Washington, the latest National Intelligence Estimate paints a bleak
picture of Iraq, confirming parts of the conflict can be called civil war.
Meanwhile, the Democrats gather for the DNC Winter Meeting, where 2008 hopefuls
have strong words on President Bush and Iraq. Go to www.politics.msnbc.com for
the more on these stories and all of today's political news.
We'll have the latest tonight on Hardball, starting with a report from NBC's
Mike Viqueira, live from inside the Democratic Winter Meeting, and later in the
show, Ann Lewis, Senior Advisor to Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY). Earlier today,
Clinton said if she was president, she wouldn't have started the war...and that
if the war isn't ended before early 2009, she would end it as president.
We'll also be joined by MSNBC Political Analyst Craig Crawford and Hotline
Editor-in-Chief Chuck Todd, who interviewed Clinton this week. Plus,
Democratic strategist Steve McMahon and Terry Jeffrey of Human Events will be
here to talk about security voters vs. values voters and more on what it all
means in the race for '08. And we take a close look at the Democratic
contenders with California Attorney General Jerry Brown, himself a former
Democratic candidate.

Iran Winning in Iraq" http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=19211.
Don't miss a special report tonight from Hardball's Jeremy Bronson on YouTube
in '08. Bronson brings the entire Hardball staff up to speed on what's hot
with politics on the web and we guarantee you'll learn something new, too. And
if you want more, take a look at this report from Bronson about Obama on
FaceBook http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16907968/
And tonight, former basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar will be here.
Abdul-Jabbar is the author of a new book, "On the Shoulders of Giants." He'll
give his reaction to Sen. Joe Biden's (D-DE) comments from Wednesday. Plus,
he'll make a special announcement tonight only on Hardball.
