accusations of iranian involvement lead to another round of sectarian violence? the u.s. ambassador to iraq says he doesn t think that s likely. we don t see a sign that this type of type of dissatisfaction is of the quality that would cause, you know, an outbreak of an insurgency. sunni terrorists have pulled off a series of large scale bombings that killed hundreds over the last six months. u.s. troops are pulling back quickly to meet president obama s promise of a rapid drawdown this year. and former president bush s agreement with iraq e. iraqis to withdraw completely next year. with widespread dissatisfaction over current security in services, the worry is that iraqis could turn back to militias and insurgent groups to protect and provide for them if voters perceive that the election and the new government are not legitimate. in baghdad, malini wilkes, fox news. bret: muslims throughout the region may be changing their
self-identified independents. they joined tea parties, what have you. the country is still a center-right country. that s the bottom line. and as charles pointed thought his terrific column today, obama is trying to impose a left wing agenda on a center-right country. it s really not much more glicketted than that. bret: we didn t spend a lot of time talking about this but take a listen. the issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behavior. i was unfaithful. i had affairs. i cheated. what i did is not acceptable. and i am the only person to blame. bret: tiger woods in a very orchestrated announcement today. charles? on the tiger hysteria, i m awall on this. i don t want to know. it s not my business. it s not anybody s business. it s between him and the family. he didn t cheat in golf. he cheated in life. i can barely watch all of that
debate that displayed demagoguery the kind of washington behavior the president promised to change. stu rothenberg says people are tired of waiting. people don t feel the change that the president promised. you have a reversal, in effect, where the republicans are now talking about change. aids defend the president s involvement in the primary races saying that the senators he is supporting are already incumbents. meanwhile both shone and rothen beg say if the president couldn t deliver as many votes as he could in the past he could still raise a lot of money. bret: wendell goler live in denver tonight. before his trip president obama welcomed the dalai lama to the white house today. the meeting was private and deliberately low key. that was aimed at avoiding further tension with china which considers the dalai lama separatist who seeks to overthrow chinese rule of tibet. president obama did buy fiat what he couldn t do through
