Sunday Talk Shows Open Thread

Topic A is obviously the war in Iraq/Iran. The White House has the pro-escalation spin team, Cheney, Hadley, Lieberman, McCain and McConnell, on the shows today. At least everyone but Fox, of course, offers the opposing -- and widely held -- anti-escalation perspective. Since Cheney gets the whole show, would be great if someone on Fox could at least get some real answers (like are we at war with Iran?):

FOX NEWS SUNDAY (WTTG), 9 a.m.: Vice President Cheney.

THIS WEEK (ABC, WJLA), 9 a.m.: Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.); national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley; California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger (R); Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin (D).

If you can stand watching them, provide the commentary.
