Iraq Violence
U.S. warplanes and troops have now been drawn into the fighting that has erupted in Iraq. Overnight, American soldiers entered Sadr City in Baghdad, after Shiite militias fired more than a dozen mortar rounds into the protected Green Zone killing two Americans. President Bush is expected to be questioned about the rising violence today when he meets with Australian Prime Minister Rudd. The Aussies announced some time back that they plan to have all their troops out of Iraq by June.

Its the Economy
Democratic candidates Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton roll out dueling economic recovery plans today. Depending on the week, this is the #1 issue in the minds of voters. Both are expected to talk about the banking, credit and housing crises. It's also likely that both will continue to squabble over veracity, pastors, delegates, superdelegates, and who can best answer the phone in the middle of the night.

Iraq Meltdown
Heavy fighting is gripping two of Iraq's largest cities, as Iraqi forces have mounted operations against Shiite militias. Battles are raging in Baghdad and Basra between government troops led by Prime Minister al-Maliki and those controlled by renegade cleric Moktada al-Sadr. All of this is happening as concerns are rising that security gains provide by the U.S. troop surge are eroding. President Bush meets behind closed doors today with his Pentagon advisors to consider what to do next.

Campaign Pain
It is a race over race, a race over delegates from Michigan and Florida, and maybe a race to explain eight years of White House schedules. Today Barrack Obama is campaigning in West Virginia and Hillary Clinton is in Indiana. Clinton may be asked to explain 11,000 pages of schedules from her years as first lady that appear to show she wasn't as engaged in policy matters as she might like voters to believe. Obama, despite his highly regarded speech on race and religion, may continue to face questions about his relationship with the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. And with re-votes in Michigan and Florida now down the tubes, does this doom Sen. Clinton's chances to overtake Sen. Obama?

Cross Border Trucking
Under a "test" program some Mexican trucks can now cross into the U.S. to deliver cargo. American trucks are also allowed into limited areas of Mexico. This cross-border test program is still going on, even though Congress passed and President Bush signed a law intended to cut off funding. Today, Secretary of Transportation Mary Peters is holding a news conference to try and keep the program alive. Opponents have sued in federal court to try and get it shut down arguing that Mexican trucks are dangerous and don't meet U.S. safety standards.
