So that's good to hear.

I would postulate that the best covert operations are the ones that you don't hear about.

That's the nature of them being covert.

But what does it tell us, ladies and gentlemen? that a lot of our previously referenced economic geniuses, when it comes to their idea of military intervention and action, they, of course, didn't think any of that was possible.

They didn't have those kinds of discussions with anybody in those Gulf states.

By the same token, I would be willing to go out on about a 10-inch branch here, not exactly on the loose leaves and thin twigs when I say their actions were known if not coordinated with the United States.

Now we didn't say anything.

So which is true?
