This week’s edition of “Left, Right & Center” offers some new twists, including producer Sarah Spitz moderating for returning regulars Robert Scheer and Matt Miller. This week’s menu of topics ripped from the headlines includes: U.S. combat troops leaving Iraq — will their absence make Iraqis’ hearts grow fonder or will Iran step in to fill the vacuum? And can someone put the whole Cordoba House hubbub to rest already? Scheer and Blankley do their best, anyway. –KA
