6:48. The enemy we were fighting and I'll just start with Al-Qaeda at the time stated unequivocally that what they were doing they were waging Jihad in order to establish a caliphate under Sharia, Islamic law Allah's Divine Law and Sharia was the doctrine for which they were fighting and the doctor and it was the law that they seek to impose on the entire Earth. American war fighting Doctrine requires us to analyze an enemy based on who they say they are and why they're fighting. And a look a and a look and intellectual and practical we're fighting review of normative Islamic law reveals that in fact Islamic law exists it's real law it has real consequences and in fact Al Qaeda and Isis and Hezbollah are actually following it and it's consistent with what is taught to 10-year-old Muslim children in US Islamic schools. So that creates a different problem. If we say that the problem has nothing to do with Islam then we're literally telling the entire War fighting apparatus of the US government the entire intelligence community don't look for the answer where the answer resides and I would argue that that's why we lost wars in Afghanistan Iraq and Syria it's why the US government wrote constitutions for Iraq and Afghanistan making sure Sharia was the law of the land because we had no and I believe we still don't have a good strategic understanding of what it is and its role.
So what I've been doing both inside and outside the government is training national, state, and local officials and citizens about, not just that, but the networks that exist because currently the Islamic movement and the communist movement are operating seamlessly at the local level across the United States. And from their perspective, from the enemy's perspective, they're in the final stages and there seems to be nothing in their way to Victory, and I would concur with that assessment.
9:20. We are looking at it from almost exclusively a kinetic perspective and yet the war they're waging against the United States is primarily being done overall in the information Warfare battle space. But it's counterintelligence, espionage, subversion, economic Warfare, and the like, and we're not addressing it strategically or operationally at those levels and when we do we have a pretty underwhelming effect on the enemy.
10:10. I encourage questions I encourage push back I've been doing this a long time and I find the discussion is much more fruitful if you don't hold back because if you do hold back and you get off the call and just Grumble about something that's not doing you or anybody else on this call any good from what Cindy and I understand about STARRS, I don't think that's going to be a problem. I just wanted to say that out loud.
