I thought that was very good thing t was very much in our countrys interest. I think it has worked out well. But i think we have to wait and see what the president comes up with. And you know i dont know what that is going to be. I know at the moment the ayatollah and u. S. Congress are not making his life and that effort any easier. But, i i just urge you once again, weve had many estimates of iranian capabilities. Im not persuaded given what i saw in iraq that we know much more about iran than we knew about iraq. I hope we do but i couldnt count on it and im not actively reporting that right now anyway. There is plenty more material in the book. So we hope you buy the book and buy it here in support of the wonderful work that brad and elissa do at politics prose. Thank you all for coming. [applause] booktv is on twitter.
