State of the Union: Reaction
Published on Jan 28, 2008
Source: NPR's All Things Considered

Mathews joined commentators on a special edition of NPR's All Things Considered to provide analysis immediately following the President's speech, arguing that Bush’s remarks underlined the fragility of the situation and just how little progress has been made in Iraq.
