Weekend Watchdog

Every Friday in our Weekend Watchdog feature, we post suggested questions for scheduled Sunday guests. You can add your own questions in the comment thread. We'll also include contact information for the shows, so we can let them know what their viewers want asked.

And on Sunday at 4 PM ET, tune in to Air America Radio's "Seder on Sundays" program, where I'll offer the Weekend Watchdog Wrap-Up.

For Newt Gingrich (Fox News Sunday): 64 percent of Americans say our government should guarantee health insurance for all, with 60 percent – including nearly half of Republicans -- said they would be willing to pay more in taxes for it.

Sen. Clinton’s health insurance plan would achieve that goal -- as would the plans from the other leading Democratic candidates. All would expand the choices Americans have by providing public and private plans, and paying for it in part by rolling back Bush’s tax on those earning $250,000 or $200,000 a year.

You’re attacking Sen. Clinton’s plan as “big government, big tax increases, more regulation.”

Aren’t you out of step with most Americans and nearly half of your party?

For Sen. Hillary Clinton: (ABC's This Week, CBS' Face The Nation, Fox News Sunday, NBC's Meet The Press): According to a NPR report from Ted Koppel, you told a former Pentagon official that you “expect U.S. troops to be in Iraq at the end of [your] second term.”

Is that an accurate report, and is that the goal of your Iraq policy?

For Alan Greenspan (NBC's Meet The Press): In an interview on the Today show you said you support being in Iraq for oil:

Saddam Hussein was obviously seeking to get a choke hold on the Straits of Hormuz, where about 18 million barrels a day flow from the Middle East to the industrial world.

Had he been able to get hold of a nuclear weapon and indeed move through Kuwait and into Saudi Arabia and control the Straits of Hormuz, it would have caused chaos in the international [markets.]

…

I'm not saying that they believed it was about oil. I'm saying it is about oil and that I believe it was necessary to get Saddam out of there.

Since the occupation of Iraq has destabilized the region and made our oil supply less secure and more expensive, isn’t your rationale for the war proven to be wrong?
