I want to reiterate this.

Scott, you're a patriotic American.

God bless you.

God bless the United States.

Thank you for allowing me to come to this country and become an American.

It's a great country.

And as a patriotic American, I assume that the United States government and the United States intelligence community and the United States military has America's best interest at heart.

However, we have learned from the history, and Scott's done a very good job of detailing this during the Iraq war, that the United States gets it wrong.

I don't think the United States lied us into war, but the United States got it wrong.

So I think Scott's right.

We must make sure that we learn the lessons of Iraq, but not overlearn the lessons of Iraq.

I would also say this.

There are many lobby organizations in the United States.

There's the China lobby.

There's the oil lobby.

There's the pharmaceutical lobby.

There's the Qatar lobby.

I live in Washington.

I see all these lobby organizations, okay?

Fact of the matter is the pro-Israel lobby, which actually lobbies in support of the U.S.-Israel relationship, is comprised of tens of millions of Christians and Jews and Hindus, and yes, yes, Muslims, who believe strongly in a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.
