After U.S. troops moved out of Iraqi cities this past week, top administration and defense officials head to the Sunday talk shows to map out the next steps in the Middle East.
Vice President Joe Biden appears on ABC's "This Week" while Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, headlines CBS's "Face the Nation," "Fox News Sunday" and CNN's "State of the Union."
On CBS, Mullen will be joined by Sen. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) And on Fox, Mullen is followed by House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio.).
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell and Queen Noor of Jordan meanwhile are with Mullen on CNN.
White House economic advisor Austan Goolsbee will be on C-SPAN's "Newsmakers" where he will take questions from Ceci Connolly of the Washington Post and Laura Meckler of the Wall Street Journal.
Meanwhile Bloomberg's Al Hunt lands Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) for "Political Capital."
And NBC's "Meet the Press" is off this week so the network can cover the men's final at Wimbledon.
