The Hardball Briefing On MSNBC
------------------------------------------------------
The gloves came off during last night's GOP debate as the four top-tier
candidates accused each other of everything from duping American voters to
"acting like Hillary Clinton."
We'll bring you all of the hottest exchanges and then NBC's David Gregory,
presidential historian Doug Brinkley and GOP consultant Mike Murphy will tell
you what to expect as we approach the first primaries of 2008.
Next, Vice President Dick Cheney ratcheted up the administration's rhetoric on
Iran this weekend as Turkey threatened to send troops into Northern Iraq. Has
the war in Iraq destabilized the Middle East? MSNBC's Pat Buchanan will tell
you what he thinks.
Then for our Hardball Debate: should the U.S. bomb Iran now to disable their
nuclear program? Jim Walsh from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and
Joshua Muravchik from the American Enterprise Institute will discuss.
Plus, which politicians say they would/would not appear on Imus's radio show
when he returns? And which '08 contender may stand to lose if the U.S. invades
Iran?
We'll look at these stories and preview the week in politics with the New
Yorker's Ryan Lizza, the Chicago Tribune's Jill Zuckman and the
WashingtonPost.com's Chris Cillizza.
