Debra Cagan is Deputy Assistant Secretary for Coalition Affairs and Multinational Operations,[1] Global Security Affairs, U.S. Department of Defense,[2] to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.[3]
In September 2007 a group of British MPs visiting the Pentagon to "discuss America's stance on Iran and Iraq were shocked to be told by [Cagan] one of President Bush's senior women officials: 'I hate all Iranians'." Cagan reportedly "also accused Britain of 'dismantling' the Anglo-US-led coalition in Iraq by pulling troops out of Basra too soon." One MP reported that Cagan said "if we leave the south of Iraq, the Iranians will take it over."[4]
