Do you realize that this movie is nearly 30 years old? JOSHUA, the antiquated computer of the movie War Games, who needed room-sized servers to run, figured out that the only way to win a war is not to play. And yet, here we are, ten years into the occupation in Afghanistan and we still have bobbleheads trying to tell us how we're going to "win" the war. In fact, this Sunday is chock-full of Adm. Mike Mullen and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; the pair making five appearances between them. Also of interest, head of TSA will be on State of the Union to justify the porno scanners and heavy petting pat-down after a truly bipartisan pushback against such draconian measures. But if endless quagmires and losing your liberty for the sake of a flight to Grandma's for Thanksgiving aren't your thing, you can always watch the grasping-for-tea-party approval Governors Bobby Jindal on Meet the Press or Rick Perry on Fox News Sunday. Maybe in another 30 years we can hope they'll figure out what JOSHUA sussed out so quickly 30 years ago.

ABC's "This Week" - Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

CBS' "Face the Nation" - Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton; Rep. Steny Hoyer, D-Md.

NBC's "Meet the Press" - Clinton; Gov. Bobby Jindal, R-La.

NBC's "The Chris Matthews Show" - Panel: Katty Kay, Dan Rather, Rick Stengel, Kelly O'Donnell. Topics: Will Republicans Restrict Any Compromise with President Obama? Americans on Marriage: Who Needs It?

CNN's "State of the Union" - Mullen; John Pistole, head of the Transportation Security Administration; Rep. John Mica, R-Fla.

CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS" - The deficit. Fareed says it's the most important issue facing Americans today. But will American politicians listen to the recommendations of the U.S. Fiscal Reform Commission? Maybe. Fareed's Take on how to fix the deficit.
Then, a fascinating and exclusive look at the inner workings of the Iranian Regime.

"Fox News Sunday" - Clinton; Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas.

So what's catching your eye this morning?
