On April 30th, Iraqi troops led by one of Saddam Hussein’s former generals entered Fallouja after a month long standoff between Marines and Sunni Muslim insurgents.

Joining Larry is Tony Perry, LA Times reporter embedded with the 1st Marine Division near Fallouja, and Lou Cantori, Professor of Political Science, University of Maryland, Baltimore.
