Kingdom of Silence • 2020

Or shall we go

Or shall we go into Iraq first?"

00:00:04.043 --> 00:00:05.945

I felt like a man from Mars,

00:00:06.045 --> 00:00:10.711

and I said to them, "Invading Iraq after 9/11

would be like if Franklin Roosevelt,

00:00:12.853 --> 00:00:15.396

had lost their mind,

00:00:23.184 --> 00:00:25.127

and I don't think the Bush administration

00:00:25.227 --> 00:00:28.009

could have fought the Iraq War without Saudi support.
