Read this account by Michael Ware of what was happening in Iraq the day that Murtha made his speech, in which he said that Bush never put enough troops into Iraq, permanently screwing up the country and failing to rebuild it, and now we must leave because the troops have been abandoned.
Then, four hours before Murtha spoke, al-Qaeda let loose an attack on all five American outposts in the city–an assault that a hardened Army sniper dubbed a mini–Tet offensive, referring to the coordinated military actions the Viet Cong launched across South Vietnam one fateful day in 1968.
Now watch this interview with Ware about the situation in Iraq.
