The head of Iraqi intelligence came to see me early in 2004.

like January, February.

Uh, so we'd been, the U S had been there for about nine months and, you know, you get the initial, uh, pause and calm after the invasion.

And then the chaos starts.

And he said, we're seeing all kinds of evidence of the Iranians sending, um, agents into Iraq, building cells to kill opposition, to exert force.

And we want to, um,

We want a capability to drive them out.

So he said, yes, this is back in my Blackwater days.

The CIA was going to pay for it.

It was a tiny cost compared to what was being spent per day and blocked by Condoleezza Rice.

The National Security Advisor.

Oh, Iran is not our enemy.

We have to respect the political process, all the rest.

If we had severed and prevented the Iranians from getting their hooks into Iraqi society, we wouldn't have had all the problems in Iraq.

But now to think we're going to wade into Iran, into the IRGC's hometowns.

and say we're going to impose regime change and consider U.S.

troops, please.

That is a bad idea.

If people are so hell-bent to do it, fine.

Let them go volunteer.
