problem does he have and if necessary spend or revoc his clearance. a senior naval officer tells cnn it was clearance he received even after navy officials found out about the 2004 arrest in seattle for shooting the tires of a car in what police said he described as a blackout fueled by anger. new questions about security at the navy yard before the shootings. an officer with the navy yard police and official with the police union told me his force was badly under manned before the attack. what was your man power that morning before the shootings? 5 was assigned to the morning shift. one of those five was brought from navy research lab, a military individual, and over time person made the sixth person that worked midnight shift that night and the chief of police made the seventh. only 7 responding officers, some without vehicles he says that had to run from one side of the base to the other and he says they needed about twice that many officers and used to have dozens more on t
over a whole lot of things and this is going to be a case worth watching and particularly, do you have a right as a military individual to say things privately you may not carry out in terms of your duty and that may be the question that has to be raised. clearly, anyone in the military, even if they don t like the orders, has to care them out and show respect to those above them. that s part of the deal. and gary, we ll follow this case with great, great interest. it s really raising a lot more questions than we can answer here today. do you think chuck norris is tough. wait until you meet his 91-year-old mom. wilma norris-knight shares stories of chuck and their families from the past when we come back.

today i can report that as promised, the rest of our troops in iraq will come home by the end of the year. after nearly nine years, america s war in iraq will be over. over the next two months, our troops in iraq, tens of thousands of them, will pack up their gear and board convoys for the journey home. the last american soldier will cross the border out of iraq with their heads held high, proud of their success, and knowing that the american people stand united in our support for our troops. that is how america s military efforts in iraq will end. but even as we mark this important milestone, we re also moving into a new phase in the relationship between the united states and iraq. it cost the united states a foreign in blood and treasure. thousands of american lives, hundreds of billions of dollars. now after nearly nine years, the end of the iraq war is in sight. the united states and iraq were unable to reach an agreement on immunity for u.s. forces going forward so p
