To Be An Impossibility, Because It's Not

Can I ask one question? The soldier who was killed, was he with the Iraqi counter-terrorism force? I don't think so. He was only identified as a police army. I don't think it's counter-terrorism.

Okay, thanks. Welcome, Hazem. How are you? What's new on the... Yeah, Hazem has some news update for us.

Not much, really. We're still trying to figure out what really is happening with the Kurds. A lot of conflicting statements coming all over the place.

In no way is that going to happen. The Iraqi government is not going to allow that. And that's the only way that you can actually sustain those fighters in an actual protracted fight, is through the Iraqi border, right? That's really the only way to do it.

Because the US does not have... There's no Iraqi government there, so... So you're intimating that Iraq would somehow... The Iraqi government would somehow allow the US to filter company, platoon and battalion-sized supply chains through their territory to supply ongoing fighting in Iran? I find that... I find that to be an impossibility, because it's not... Craig, let me... The reality is somewhere between this grandos idea that the media shared earlier and what you're talking about. Smuggling has been, you know, an age-old profession in that region, into Iran and out of Iran. Pajaks, for example, have brought a lot of weapons, including anti-materiel rifles, into their territory.
