00:04.040 --> 00:06.350
Mhm . Uh I think we're gonna work

00:06.350 --> 00:08.517
together real well this year we have a

00:08.517 --> 00:10.683
common purpose down there to safeguard

00:10.683 --> 00:12.906
the Iraqi population . He's got a great

00:12.906 --> 00:15.128
worse , but he'd like some help in some

00:15.128 --> 00:17.350
key areas that we have some expertise ,

00:17.350 --> 00:19.890
intelligence , planning , signals , uh

00:19.900 --> 00:22.067
surveillance , reconnaissance assets .

00:22.067 --> 00:24.122

him the better force than he is right

00:26.233 --> 00:29.790
now . We have uh an

00:29.790 --> 00:32.012
opportunity with the security situation

00:32.012 --> 00:34.068
the way it is , we can focus on some

00:34.068 --> 00:36.290
things we haven't been able to do for a

00:36.290 --> 00:38.234
couple of years . Um But the major

00:38.234 --> 00:40.401
mission in front of us right now is to

00:40.401 --> 00:42.623
try and defeat the Iranian influence in

00:42.623 --> 00:44.790
southern Iraq . We'll do that together

00:44.790 --> 00:48.220
as partners . It is uh in particular ,

00:48.220 --> 00:50.498
Iraqi logistics , Iraqi Army logistics .

00:50.498 --> 00:52.840
Uh They can use some help from our

00:52.840 --> 00:55.310
maintainers and our logisticians . We

00:55.310 --> 00:57.477
have a great deal of expertise in this

00:57.477 --> 00:59.532
area and and they're just now coming

00:59.532 --> 01:01.360
