“Remember I used to say a long time ago before I was -- 'Don't go into the middle East, but if you're going to go in and keep the oil.' but we went in and we didn't keep anything. And all the death, the blood in the sand, I call it the blood in the sand, that worthless sand, all of that death that's been caused for no reasons. The worst decision in the history of our country, going into the Middle East.”
