found a new partner. the company is buying the huffington post for $315 million to form the huffing on the post media group. the founder arianna huffingt huffington the new group merging content of both companies including news, technology and music. aol has been trying to reinvent itself since it split from time warner in 2009 and recent we re all interested is time warner is the owner of this network and dozen or so years ago there was a marriage between aol and content and frankly i think everyone would say it was a failure between time warner and aol. intriguing that huffington-aol deal definitely, andrew. yeah. certainly. i think you are right. failure is one of the more politer terms for many of the
elected that s self-governing and the country is self-defending. by the end of this year, we re going to have most of our troops out of there. i think that s had a major effect on the entire region. iraq is now the most democratic country in the arab world. so, yes, i think it was the right thing to do. terrible cost we paid in life and treasure, but ultimately i think the right decision. arianna huffington has a question for you. hi, arianna. good morning, senator. i was starting to hear you say that there was evidence that saddam hussein was working on weapons of mass destruction, given that even president bush himself has now accepted that there had been no evidence. so on what basis are you saying that? yeah. i m basing it on the so-called duelfer report. charles duelfer conducted the most comprehensive report on
a lot of big moments in history marked today, including another one. 50 years ago wi, of course, the inauguration of jfk. there are some new pick tuesday of his inauguration which we ll take a look at in just a moment. inside the new issue of time magazine, but first we reveal the cover of the new issue of time magazine. the cover is just as good. the truth about tiger moms and this issue, perfect for me, tina, arianna, and willie. because this memoir that this woman has written has received so much backlash. we were talking about it at a dinner last night. so many people, so insulted. yet there s so many things that are so intriguing as a parent about taking a more harsh and hard-line approach to parenting. where do you stand, tina, on the tiger mom? i think, as i am a brit, you know, i do feel america s gone way too far the other way of
