“You know, you have to go into Iraq. Going into Iraq was something that he [John Bolton] felt very strongly about. ... And I don’t say it was his decision. You had a president and you had other people also. But he was very out there, I can tell you, and wanting to have them do it. And I disagreed with that decision from the beginning, even though I was a civilian, so nobody cared. But I was out there. I was outspoken about it. I thought it was a terrible mistake.”
