On Iraq, Bush said that a democratic constitution "is going to be an important change in the broader Middle East." Wendell Goler has more.
Plus, Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld briefed reporters on Iraq today at the Pentagon. Bret Baier reports.
Then, Megyn Kendall has the details after WMAL Washington talk host Michael Graham (search) was fired by ABC Radio Networks for refusing to apologize for comments equating Islam and terrorism.
And, the Department of Transportation announces a new plan to require SUVs and light trucks to get better gas mileage. Mike Emanuel has a report.

William La Jeunesse has the details from Iraq.
The final evacuations of settlers and their supporters in the West Bank (search) took place today. And FNC correspondent Jennifer Griffin was on the scene.

About the Show
Anchored by Washington news veteran Brit Hume, "Special Report with Brit Hume" provides an in-depth look at the day's news and offers a daily topical discussion of political issues impacting the nation.
Hume serves as host to key newsmakers, political pundits and FOX News contributors exchanging views about political matters from taxes and Social Security to international affairs and the political scandal of the day.
Hume brings a historical perspective to the political scene that is rarely rivaled. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., he has covered the policies, procedures and players in the national game called politics for more than 30 years. The Baltimore Sun referred to him as "the very personification of the political establishment."
Each program features a two-minute segment called The Grapevine, which reels off the latest outrageous news nuggets, political poll results and in-the-Beltway gossip that viewers will not see on any other news program. The New York Daily News describes The Grapevine as a must see that, "will make you sound smart around the water cooler… the next day."
FOX News' Team Washington provides live reports from the White House, Capitol Hill, the Supreme Court and key federal agencies. Seasoned correspondents, including Carl Cameron, Wendell Goler and Major Garrett, explore political hot spots, races and legislative battles being waged around the nation and abroad.
Hume wraps up each program with a lively roundtable discussion featuring Mara Liasson of National Public Radio, Fred Barnes of The Weekly Standard and Mort Kondracke of Roll Call.
And more people watch FNC's Primetime than all of the cable news competition combined!
