00:00Why are you not seeking congressional approval to extend it?
00:03Because it's never been sought before.
00:05There's been numerous, many, many times, and nobody's ever gotten it before.
00:09They consider it totally unconstitutional.
00:11But we're always in touch with Congress.
00:14But nobody's ever sought it before.
00:16Nobody's ever asked for it before.
00:18It's never been used before.
00:20Why should we be different?
00:22You had a dead comm commander come in here yesterday.
00:25Was he briefing you on a different approach, options?
00:29What kind of options?
00:30How would it look different?
00:32I mean, do we want to go and just blast the hell out of them and finish them forever?
00:36Or do we want to try and make a deal?
00:38I mean, those are the options.
00:40Do you want to go blast the hell out of them and finish them forever?
00:43On a human basis, I prefer not.
00:45But that's the option.
00:46Do we want to go in there heavy and just blast them away?
00:51Or do we want to do something?
00:53They're a very disjointed unership, as you can understand, Peter.
00:56Very disjointed.
00:57I mean, they're not getting along with each other.
01:02And it puts us in a bad position.
01:04One group wants to make a certain deal.
01:07The other group wants to make a certain deal.
01:09Including the hardliners.
01:11The hardliners want to make a deal, too.
01:13Why wouldn't they?
01:14They have no Navy.
01:15They have no Air Force.
01:16They have no anti-aircraft.
01:18They have no nothing.
01:20You know, it's a very disjointed, unfriendly leadership, unfriendly to each other.
01:25They're not getting along.
01:27They're very, very confused by what's happened.
01:29Because essentially, most of their military has been wiped out.
01:33But we just had a conversation with Iran.
01:36Let's see what happens.
01:37But I would say that I am not happy.
01:39Their leadership is very disjointed, very argumentative with each other.
01:47They come back.
01:48One says one thing.
01:50One says another.
01:51They're very confused.
01:53Obviously, their country has been, frankly, decimated.
01:57Their Navy is gone.
01:58Their Air Force is gone.
02:00Many of their soldiers, unfortunately, are gone.
02:05They've got to come up with the right deal.
02:07At this moment, I'm not satisfied with what they're going to do.
02:10We have great respect for Pakistan and Islamabad.
02:15And tremendous respect for the Prime Minister and the Field Marshal.
02:18And they're working with us.
02:20They continue to work with us.
02:21But the trip is a very long one.
02:23And we're doing everything in terms of negotiating right now.
02:28Now, in terms of the negotiation telephonically, they've made strides.
02:34But I'm not sure if they ever get there.
02:39There's tremendous discord.
02:42There's tremendous – they're having a tremendous problem getting along with each other in Iran.
02:47The leadership is very disjointed.
02:50It's got two to three groups, maybe four.
02:53And it's a very disjointed leadership.
02:56And with that being said, they all want to make a deal.
03:00But they're all messed up.
