Excellent content! I was in Iraq for 30 months in 04, 05 & 06. I was a 40 year old female In a FOB in Fallujah and then lived on the Baghdad economy for my mission. Best time of my life!
All Gen Z, millennial, and younger should watch this interview. It truly lays bare the complexity of our world and the US within it. Nothing is black and white. Guys - One of your best yet!! (I think I have said that 10 or 12 times now at least. Well done guys!)
They had difficult decisions to make and thank God they made the right ones back then so we can inherit a great, fair, good and functioning society to pass on for generations 😂
Knocked it out the park with this one! Being a fan of anything tradecraft \humint\asset development related, I was on the edge of my seat! Also compliments to Rueda for his good audio setup.❤
This is an incredibly interesting and important interview. Our incomparable military and the intelligence agencies work for the people of the United States as directed by the ideologues we elect. It is incumbent upon us to elect principled individuals with a strong grasp of history.
whats also interesting is that this same discussion could have taken place in the early 1970s in the wake of the war in South East Asia. It feels like no lessons had been learned. The men that privately pushed back on the Iraq war were Richard Armitage and the late Colin Powell , men who had spilt blood on the battlefield and lost friends.
SO PAINFUL to hear how senior people overruled the agency’s experts and others, and led America into an unnecessary war, and then made terrible decisions about “the day after” that led to the insurgency. So many US deaths, and we took our eye off of Afghanistan, and that failure also attributable. NO ONE PUNISHED FOR THIS. I applaud his honesty.
Che confusione, sarà perché ti amo LUIS RUEDA EX CIA È un'emozione che cresce piano piano Stringimi forte e stammi più vicino Se ci sto bene, sarà perché ti amo Io canto al ritmo del dolce tuo respiro È primavera, sarà perché ti amo Cade una stella, ma dimmi dove siamo Che te ne frega, sarà perché ti amo E vola, vola, si sa Sempre più in alto si va E vola, vola con me Il mondo è matto perché E se l'amore non c'è Basta una sola canzone Per far confusione fuori e dentro di te E vola, vola, si va Sempre più in alto si va E vola, vola con me Il mondo è matto perché E se l'amore non c'è Basta una sola canzone Per far confusione fuori e dentro di te Ma, dopotutto, che cosa c'è di strano?

I really appreciate his perspective on Central/South America. Our history down there is at best complicated and to hear him essentially admit this, discuss the tough choices that were made, to acknowledge having to understand all the different sides in the region, and to admit there were some difficult lessons learned is very refreshing. This is all especially true with his family background.
Great interview. One correction Ana Montes is of Spanish Puertorican descent. Not really, puertorican as she was born in Europe and raised in the states. She now lives in Puerto Rico as a tactic to speak against us policy towards Cuba and get sponsored by communist groups in PR. I highly recommend you do research about Filiberto Ojeda Rios and FBI operation to take him down.
@EasilyCringed he has an interesting story as he was considered de Cuban G2. He had escaped after fooling an electronic gridlock and in 2005 the feds caught up to him coincidentally the same day of a pro separatist annual celebration.
I trained with SSG Capstict and SSG Smith "AKA Smithy" in Bad Tolz. Those two were of the first 36 Rangers that Combat jumped into Grenada. My Wife was married before to Luigi Mercolini who was the Italian Ambassador to Nicaragua at the time of that election.

Excellent discussion and perspective on the Iraq War. One thing i would add. The USA now has $33 trillion of national debt. $23 trillion of that was run up post 9/11 and it continues to grow at an alarming rate. Other nations are looking at the US and trying to figure out if America is going to go broke in the medium/long term. Its not hard to see that the Saudi's and Indians are hedging their bets by maintaining good relations with the Chinese. America cant even defend its own border from illegals. It certainly wont be able to afford to be the defender of the Free World.
The cartels use psychologists to do a workup on who to approach to bribe or flip mostly border patrol workers . They do the same type of things. If you are in an area, they they want access to, they will watch you possibly hook you up also if you are solid and want to move product in an area they already distribute to they will set up with a "store" or a stash house for money or drugs if you can buy guns if you get a offer by a zeta Gulfpo de nosrte Tijuana juraz and or the sinaloa or one of its 4 majors factions or the largest tooth to tail cartel mean ur order it in Mexico they can have at you're door in 7 days
This guy here pretending that he was not apart of the Iraq disaster. Not him! He knew they were all crazy back then. He’s a skilled liar and is writing his fictional account on your show
How is he sitting on that chair in boots with his laces hanging out?!?!?!? That’s a party foul bro…tuck those laces in… day 1 of basic training they teach you that!!!!
@@ElisaNezelloCompletely agree, it always sounded to me as though they set up a concerted strategy to keep the people disinformed about the real truth. Not only concerning UFOs though, but this is sure one of their most well-kept subjects today, otherwise look how its free declassified information access via FOIA has been hardened up in the redaction scale.
@@ElisaNezello I've given some of the reasons to justify my opinion. Make of it whatever you claim it to be, because obviously whatever your claim is will completely lack any evidence to support it. Ba bye 🙋
@@ElisaNezello I'm not giving you reason for threadcraping nor mocking my last name. I have to warn you that the next time you come across this way instead of bringing up some of your alleged "proofs" I'll have to report you.
@@ElisaNezello What your asking me to do is hilarious, to say the least. Of course I'm not going to give you personal data/information. Sigh... As for your "EXTRATERRESTRIAL" proof, I'm not asking for that type of proof since I'm not the one that's assuming UFOs are meant to be otherworldly and thus flat out dismissing or rejecting that the UFO truth has probably been hid from the public. Therefore, please let us move on. Thank you.

Wasn’t the best time of the Iraqis lives. You’d think at 70 years old you’re have the decency to not write this comment.
What an excellent and fascinating guest! This is one of your best interviews yet!
Ok, I love the way this guy talks. I'm going to watch this over and over so that I may learn to speak again.
The yellow cake skit by Chappelle as Bush remains exquisite.
Hey guys, what a conversation!! This guest is so good I watched it twice. Looking forward to seeing more people like this in 2024. #TEAMHOUSE

it is rare (anywhere in the world) that that particular demography gives a shit about stuff that matters like foreign affairs

Thanks, Team House. A very personal, inside view of the chapters of recent history. I learned quite a bit.
Luis is a rare man.
Enjoyed him very much. God bless him.
This guy is unique. Great honesty and bravery.
Love his candor. A real man & patriot
Luis is very special to me.

The intelligence agencies and the military do the work that elites ask them to do, regular citizens mean nothing to them.
Amazing podcast so informative thanks guys
Thanks gentlemen!
Luis is a wise and interesting guy, thanks
really interesting guest! thank you for sharing!
You hit a home run with this guy. he is fascinating

Che confusione, sarà perché ti amo LUIS RUEDA EX CIA
È un'emozione che cresce piano piano
Stringimi forte e stammi più vicino
Se ci sto bene, sarà perché ti amo
Io canto al ritmo del dolce tuo respiro
È primavera, sarà perché ti amo
Cade una stella, ma dimmi dove siamo
Che te ne frega, sarà perché ti amo
E vola, vola, si sa
Sempre più in alto si va
E vola, vola con me
Il mondo è matto perché
E se l'amore non c'è
Basta una sola canzone
Per far confusione fuori e dentro di te
E vola, vola, si va
Sempre più in alto si va
E vola, vola con me
Il mondo è matto perché
E se l'amore non c'è
Basta una sola canzone
Per far confusione fuori e dentro di te
Ma, dopotutto, che cosa c'è di strano?
È una canzone, sarà perché ti amo
Se cade il mondo, allora ci spostiamo
Se cade il mondo, sarà perché ti amo
Stringimi forte e stammi più vicino
È così bello che non mi sembra vero
Se il mondo è matto, che cosa c'è di strano?
Matto per matto, almeno noi ci amiamo
E vola, vola, si sa
Sempre più in alto si va
E vola, vola con me
Il mondo è matto perché
E se l'amore non c'è
Basta una sola canzone
Per far confusione fuori e dentro di te
E vola, vola si va
Sarà perché ti amo
E vola, vola con me
E stammi più vicino
E se l'amore non c'è
Ma dimmi dove siamo
Che confusione, sarà perché ti amo
Anyone know the books he is referring to at 1:14:30?

I recommend using the Hims and Manscape together. Makes things easier 😂😂😂
Thanks for a Great interview. By the way, who made the decision to go for wrong path in 03? What are their names?
Will you make shorter videos or do timestamps for this?
Probably not

that was so interesting
but also shocking
i believe we will witness the end of the CIA
they should kept most bath party members to run the country and paid the cops and normal military. didn’t we do it germany after WW2
does it even show?
Dude why would you do the add mid interview totally f#$ked up the vibe. Should just make a clip and add it in P.S
This show is done live. There is no post production.

all of the destruction we bring the world suffers, we laugh about ,how is this good?
Ask the American farmers what they think of the economic benefits of doing something other then the most profitable practices.
The Cuban exiles during the 1960's were the wealthy people of Cuba not the poor people.
18 million a month I’m calling serious BS
