Yeah, I mean, first of all, Don, thanks for having me.

But I think that when you... Yeah, thank you.

I think when you go into a war without any self-defined motives and when your foreign policy is being dictated by a foreign government in Israel, you aren't really going to have any idea and you're going to have to just lie.

Luckily, he's good at that.

from being up on Capitol Hill and talking with a number of members, they're just as confused as him.

You're taking out their infrastructure and you're taking out their economy.
