 I pointed out earlier that I couldn't find a reference for the broom 
handle
statement, though I did find a streaming version of the speech, which
I couldn't watch.

However, here someone who did watch the speech points out that Hersh 
didn't
say they were American soldiers (which is implied above).

Here is his speech transcribed in full:

 Which shows that its a little unclear what he meant.

 This is why I always like to go to the original sources. Our media is
too incompetent to be trusted to take notes. Anyways, I don't agree with
him to a large extent, which is why I recommend you read the transcript.
