You know, the biggest surprises of the past 40 years, the Berlin Wall falling and 9-11, were completely unseen by any intelligence report.
So there is an argument that those intelligence reports are as good as a coin toss.

I think they would disagree.
I'm not saying it's correct what was done.
I'm just simply saying the facts of that, which I agree with unilaterally, that the weekend situation was perceived by this administration as the moment to strike.
Agreed.
And what is done is done.
And so I think what's more interesting to me is –
You know, observing how America is dealing with this, I mean, we are in our own crisis, America, our own serious crisis.

Yes.

Exactly.
We don't know.
