song."

Tomorrow morning, the president will be well advised to grab the opportunity to get off this ramp

to war.

We do have enormous air and naval combat power that could devastate Iran in a high intensity

war.

Iran doesn't want that and neither should the United States.

Well, we now know that Iran really doesn't want that as it is being reported that they

let the Iraqis know, look, we're going to lob some missiles, get everybody out of the

way.

We don't want to hit anybody, then Iraq told us.

So the White House was watching this all unfold and our guys were safe presumably.

At least we hope they were safe.

So the great part about our next guest is we get to talk big picture because we now know

the fast 24 hour what happened recently thing we know the story.

It was an attempt to ratchet things down.

Where are we now?

What's the hope for diplomacy?

It's always a great pleasure to speak with Ambassador Faisal Al-Eastrabadi former Iraqi

Ambassador to the UN, had a major partner writing the Constitution of that country, currently

the Director of the Center for the Study of the Middle East at Indiana University.

Ambassador, how are you, sir?

I'm very well thank you to pleasure to be with you again, happy new year.
