Then, a new Congress convened in Washington this week -- with Democrats in control. How will they affect our policy on Iraq? And how will the race for the White House shape the debate over the war? Insights and analysis will be provided by Michael Gordon, the Chief Military Correspondent of the New York Times, John Harwood of CNBC and the Wall Street Journal, and Judy Woodruff from PBS.
