If its Sunday, Its Meet the Press Sunday March 27, 2011

Meet the Press
William B. Plowman/NBC Universal

Sec. of State Clinton, Sec. of Defense Gates

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates join us as President Obama faces criticism from both Republicans and Democrats for his decision to use force in Libya. What is the mission? How long will the U.S. military be involved in the conflict? Who's in charge? What happens if Khaddafy holds on to power and would that be a suitable outcome for the administration? What are the mission's goals and how does it end? Are we at war?


Exclusive! Sen. Lugar
Also Sunday: Congress returns from recess next week and there will be plenty for them to work on. On Libya: Did President Obama overstep his constitutional authority by using military force in Libya without consulting Congress? Will Congress investigate? On the home front: Can Congress cut a deal to fund the government before the money runs out? The ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Richard Lugar (R-IN) joins us exclusively.
Roundtable: Woodward, Koppel, Ricks, Guthrie

How has President Obama handled the crisis in the Middle East? Did the president make the case to the American people that intervention in Libya is worth the cost? How might the conflict in the Middle East affect the president's agenda? Our roundtable: The Washington Post's Bob Woodward; the BBC's Ted Koppel; senior fellow for the Center for a New American Security and author, Tom Ricks; and NBC News White House Correspondent, Savannah Guthrie.
