It was a very good agreement. The reason it was good, it was we were getting out. We would have been out faster than them, but We wouldn't have lost the soldiers. We wouldn't have left many Americans behind, and we wouldn't have left $85 billion worth of brand new, beautiful military equipment behind. And just to finish, they blew it. The agreement said, you have to do this, this, this. And they didn't do it. They didn't do it. (1:13:31–1:13:43)
