I'll be blunt. I think we've talked about the profit motives of a number of individuals. I don't believe for a minute the deep state is a single entity. I think George Carlin once said you don't have to be organized if you have people that feel the same way about things. And if you had a sufficient critical mass of individuals, neocons – I'm not a neocon for the record.

I'm a Reagan guy, and I've fought most of my life against neocons – I think the neocons, both parties, by the way, this would explain the Clinton-Bush connection, would allow essentially some level of event to happen.

And my dear friend, late Congressman Walter Jones got that declassified. Walter passed it all back. There was a finding... that we haven't talked about. In parallel to what we're talking about here, Pat, was a finding, Alex Station, CIA had a finding to assassinate bin Laden. We weren't part of that, by the way. We were completely independent.

As a matter of fact, when I was first read into the Special Operations Command concept, I was asked to go brief the CIA representative to Special Operations Command, a guy named Dave Rolfe. Dave Rolfe I write him into the project, and he confirmed the existence of Alex Station and the finding.
