A heated "debate" took place in the US House of Representatives on November 18, 2005. Rep. Murtha called for the immediate withdrawal of US troops in Iraq. A vote followed and was defeated 400-3.
I find this very "curious" for the lack of a better word.
Given the difference in time zones it may have happened at the same time.
IIRC, the vote took place around 8-9 PM, which would have been 4-5 AM in Iraq.....I think.
