For a few years, our job was Al-Qaeda and Taliban. By this time, I'm standing on this traffic circle at a corner waiting for a guy, thinking somebody might shoot me. And I look to my left and I see a black Toyota. What does that bother me? Nobody's supposed to park there? Where's this guy at? And then the guy shows up. And just as we come inside the gate of the embassy, there's a definite... Those guys were two s-bombers.

Obviously, the goal is to kill Americans.

Now I know that I need to fight an unconventional war.

On this stop, we're going to go to get a top 10 on the list.

Even though not to say Saddam was a good guy, he was a horrible guy, but it's like they'd nothing to do with 9-11. Like this was almost like taking your eye off the ball, if you will. That starts a whole thing where we
