There’s 120,000 people who have been killed, murdered, executed. Families destroyed since the regime in Iran has existed. This is what we know. You can’t, I mean, it’s big, heavy. One volume. And it’s got pictures of men, women and kids and entire families that were wiped out.
My point of showing you this is that, there’s real, besides the rhetoric and the sadness of Camp Ashraf and what it represents, but there are absolute consequences in life and death that you have suffered dear friends but are actually represented in this book. It’s staggering to see and it’s actually one volume.
So my point to us all is all nice and well and good to have us all here at the Willard Hotel pontificating but there are people really dying because of what’s happening in Iran. So I want to make that point.
My point is short, being never one to talk too long, I’ll ask us all to think of what happened, what is tomorrow going to be like? Of course, of course you want to take whatever the word decapitate, remove, vote out, undermine, destroy, kill a leader of a country or leaders of a country who are obviously this evil as what’s happening in Iran supporting Hezbollah and Hamas, killing American soldiers in Iraq and on and on and having a camp like Ashraf even necessary.
Iran is one of the, greatest countries of the world I’ve been lucky to be there 30 years ago. But one of the things we do not do well, United States of America, is think about tomorrow.
We’re very good right in front of our nose, very, very good at today. We really suck at tomorrow. And in helping you change your regime, making Iran the country it was when I trained with your special forces up by the Caspian Sea is a very, very difficult thing to do and we have not done well when it came to Iraq and not done well when it came to
Afghanistan after the fighting during this nation building things.
