accomplished with the support of other nations and, if so which countries? >> clearly iraq. the operation was based out of northern iraq. which is the closest point that you'd have to stage. so the iraqi government clearly was cognizant and provided not only approval i would guarantee that they provided layers of support, as well that would allow the special operators to stage. the special operators have to come into country. if they are in country, they're totally covert as barbara described. they would be in very very briefly and have to stage and go through some immediate final rehearsals rehearsals. all that would have to be done with the support and the understanding and the support of the host nation. the iraqi government got behind this and supported it completely. we did nothing to try to clear the air space or try to clear anything with the government of syria. we took full advantage created a corridor went from iraq into syria and hit the target and came back out as quickly as possible. >> cnn military analyst
