The Marine General is leaving his post in charge of Al-Anbar province in Iraq; he has opened up to the Washington Post and says that politicos ordered the April attack in Fallujah, then ordered the pullout and concession of the city to insurgents.
Eventually, the 800 AK-47 assault rifles, 27 pickup trucks and 50 radios the Marines gave the brigade wound up in the hands of the insurgents, according to Marine officers. Marines manning a checkpoint on the city’s eastern fringe were shot at by gunmen wearing Fallujah Brigade uniforms.
