Bill then steered the discussion towards the war in Iraq and the often-unhappy reception troops are receiving there, as compared to the warm reception being given by the people of Liberia. Bill then asked for opinions on the President's assertion that the media's heavy war coverage has contributed to the nation's weak economy. The issue of airline security was revisited when Bill brought up the administration's assertion that equipping commercial carriers with missile defense systems for billion was "not fiscally viable."

Special guests former CIA director R. James Woolsey and Rep. Harold Ford, Jr. joined Bill via satellite, discussing the situation on the ground in post-war Iraq. Ford, who recently returned from touring Iraq, called for more international involvement in the rebuilding effort, and Bill wondered aloud whether the U.S. has a reputation for poor follow-through--"a country that has its fun, then leaves you on the side of the road with a torn dress and smeared lipstick." But Woolsey warned against a U.N.-run effort, unless "you like the way the United Nations defended the Bosnian Muslims in Srebrenica, in 1995." With roundtable guests comedian Margaret Cho, former Georgia congressman Bob Barr and Mayor Willie Brown, Bill trotted out his desktop Ten Commandments statue, and asked the panel how many of them had to do with law. It was a short philosophical hop to religion as a "neurological disease," and a look at gay rights, the Bible and why sodomy definitions often include all the fun stuff. The group sparred over the need for a gay high school and raised the possibility of segregating bullies into their own school instead. Bill wondered: Is the California recall a right-wing power grab? And could internet sperm transactions from mannotincluded.com make men mostly obsolete? Finally, this week's set of New Rules offered some crowd-pleasers regulating the blackout, cell phones and summer movies.

Special guest, Senator Joe Biden discussed the current problems in Iraq and North Korea, arguing the Administration needs to be forthright with the American people about both the scope of commitment and importance in resolving these conflicts favorably.

Special guest, Gen. Wesley Clark (Ret.) discussed Iraq and the need for the Bush administration to clearly communicate to the American people who the enemy is and what their strategy is for resolving Middle Eastern conflicts. He also identified that part of the problem the current administration is having is that there was not a sufficient amount of post war planning. The General also identified himself as a liberal, but in the c sense of the word, where issues are resolved through reason and dialog, not towing party lines and stricture.
Bill then introduced his roundtable guests for the week, Wolf Blitzer, D.L. Hughley, and William Kristol. Bill started things off by noting this week was the first all male panel in the show's history, and seeking the panel's impression on John Kerry's crying at the difficulties described by an unemployed mother. Bill then took the opportunity to ask hard-line conservative Bill Kristol if he felt the war in Iraq was going to plan. Kristol said his magazine, The Weekly Standard, was publishing an editorial urging the President to do what was necessary to not only win the war, but also win the post-war in Iraq as well. Bill then questioned why two Newsweek reporters could locate the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden, while the US military cannot.
Bill then introduced another special guest, Al Franken, who spoke about his tangling with Fox News and the use of the words "fair and balanced" in the title of his book. They also talked briefly about Franken's comparison of conservative love of country to how a child loves his mother, as opposed to an adults' love for a spouse and that person's imperfections. After more talk about Iraq, Bill asked the panel if they felt the seriousness and importance of the news was being diminished by reporting on things like Madonna's kissing Britney Spears and the VMA awards. And, what the effect is on the youth when Britney Spears says things like we should trust our President in every decision he makes. There was also some discussion on why the press has been so forgiving towards the President on his, some would argue, frequent gaffs. Blitzer in particular argued that 9/11 redefined the public's relationship with the President. Finally, Bill questioned the reasoning behind granting condemned abortion doctor cuddleer Paul Hill a press conference, suggesting it was a gesture to the pro-life movement by Gov. Jeb Bush. Bill then gave this week's New Rules.

Special guest Terry McAuliffe joined Bill via satellite to talk about the Democratic Party, when Bill dove right in. With a poll showing that 70% of Americans believe Saddam Hussein had something to do with the 9/11 attack, he wanted to know what's wrong with the Democrats and why aren't they getting the message out that it is now fairly clear that he did not have anything to do with 9/11. Bill then wanted to know what would happen to current Democratic front-runner and Iraq war opponent Howard Dean if Hussein, Bin Laden or weapons of mass destruction were found. Bill also wanted to know if, all things being equal, Kerry deserved the Party's nod because of his military service. Finally, he asked McAuliffe if Dean's low appeal to minority voters would present a problem for the Party if he were nominated.
Bill then introduced his roundtable guests, Betsy Hart, Paul Krugman, and Jesse Ventura. Bill started things off by noting the passing of the second anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and the changed mood from the previous anniversary. He then asked Krugman what he thought of the Bush Presidency given his critique of the decision to attack Iraq and the subsequent impact on the economy. There then followed a free wheeling discussion on the subject by the roundtable. The discussion then moved to the question of if the attacks have made the public passive and accepting of what our government tells us. The conversation then shifted to the Governor of Alabama's failed attempt to sell a tax increase to the state's voters as being the Christian thing to do. Krugman then argued with Ventura about Ventura's call for reliance on a sales tax mechanism, and how it is highly regressive and unfair to the poor. The two of them then argued about farm subsidies, where Krugman futilely pointed out the government sets a floor on crop prices, not a ceiling as argued by Ventura.
Bill then introduced his special guest musician Liz Phair to talk about Internet enabling music piracy. After talking with Phair, Bill spoke about his dismay that Tommy Chong was sentenced to nine months in prison for a venture he ran that sold bongs over the Internet. Bill then gave this week's New Rules.
