[CHAIRMAN] We'll hear from our

00:01:38,260 --> 00:01:41,890
Will you please stand
and raise your right hand?
7
00:01:47,140 --> 00:01:49,520
My apologies.
8

Please raise your right hand.

Do you swear that the testimony
you're about to give...
10
00:01:53,900 --> 00:01:55,860

11
00:01:55,860 --> 00:01:58,820

00:01:58,820 --> 00:01:59,650
I do.

Private First Class Adam Green,
United States Army, retired.

00:02:05,410 --> 00:02:09,040
Mr. Green, I understand you've
prepared a statement?
16
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:09,750
I have, sir.

00:02:09,750 --> 00:02:13,500
You may enter it into the record

18
00:02:23,390 --> 00:02:29,350
Mr. Chairman, members of the
Committee...
19
00:02:30,060 --> 00:02:32,600
I want to thank you
for the opportunity...
20
00:02:32,610 --> 00:02:34,320
to speak with you today.
21
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,660
I served in the military f--
22
00:02:40,610 --> 00:02:44,570
l'm sorry, if I could just--
23
00:02:44,580 --> 00:02:47,670
Sure, go ahead.
24
00:02:47,660 --> 00:02:49,370
Thank you, sir.
25
00:02:55,130 --> 00:02:57,880
I've always liked numbers.
26
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,340
Whenever I have a hard time
wrapping my head around...
27
00:03:00,340 --> 00:03:05,220
something, I find that numbers
make things clearer for me.
28
00:03:05,220 --> 00:03:08,640
They help me understand
decisions that are made...
29
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:13,440
and the impacts of those
decisions.
30
00:03:14,020 --> 00:03:14,940
So, if it's all right...
31
00:03:14,940 --> 00:03:19,980
l'd like the start with the
number 1.4 million.
32
00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:21,500
That's the number of men
and women...
33
00:03:21,490 --> 00:03:26,110
who are currently serving
in our military.
34
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,880
555...
35
00:03:27,870 --> 00:03:30,910
that's how many days passed
before we invaded one country...
36
00:03:30,910 --> 00:03:34,920
after having been attacked
by another.
37
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,420
19... is how old I was when
I enlisted.
38
00:03:40,380 --> 00:03:43,420
Three is the number of hours
that passed from the time...
39
00:03:43,430 --> 00:03:46,270
I arrived in Iraq to the time
our transport...
40
00:03:46,260 --> 00:03:48,090
was destroyed by an l.E.D.
41
00:03:48,100 --> 00:03:50,900
And then there's six.
42
00:03:52,350 --> 00:03:55,640
That's the number of inches the
piece of shrapnel was...
43
00:03:55,650 --> 00:03:58,530
that severed my spinal cord.
44
00:04:02,530 --> 00:04:07,280
The only problems with numbers
is they can be impersonal.
45
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:12,240
A decision you made had a
life-changing impact on me...
46
00:04:12,250 --> 00:04:14,670
and a lot of soldiers like me.
47
00:04:14,670 --> 00:04:16,380
Now, I'm not a military expert.
48
00:04:16,380 --> 00:04:20,760
I don't know a whole lot
about geopolitical affairs.
49
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,640
L'm just an ordinary American.
50
00:04:22,630 --> 00:04:24,510
And I understand that you've
asked me here...
51
00:04:24,510 --> 00:04:26,930
because you all have
some questions for me,
52
00:04:26,930 --> 00:04:34,470
but if it's all right, l'd like
to ask all of you a question.
53
00:04:40,530 --> 00:04:43,410

or exchanging you for a ransom.

to kill you, they will.

is to teach you...

how to avoid drawing the
attention of your captors.
118
00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:38,490
Hence the name, Gray Man.

00:10:47,310 --> 00:10:51,270
Yeah, this is John Walcott
from Knight Ridder.
173
00:10:51,270 --> 00:10:51,940
Is he there?
174
00:10:51,940 --> 00:10:57,070
Yeah, okay, well, tell him
l'll try him back later.
175
00:10:57,070 --> 00:10:58,320
Thank you.
176
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,570
I just spoke with my wife.
177
00:10:59,570 --> 00:11:02,450
She and the kids are
afraid to leave the house.
178
00:11:02,450 --> 00:11:04,700
What are they doing over there?
179
00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:06,490
They're watching the White
House.
180
00:11:06,490 --> 00:11:08,330
To see if it gets hit?
181
00:11:08,330 --> 00:11:08,830
Yes.
182
00:11:08,830 --> 00:11:11,160
Oh, Jesus. All right, go home
to your family.
183
00:11:11,170 --> 00:11:15,220
And tell your colleagues that
maybe they want to stay away...
184
00:11:15,210 --> 00:11:16,460
from the windows, okay?
185
00:11:16,460 --> 00:11:18,670
Thanks, John.
Yeah.
186
00:11:18,670 --> 00:11:22,670
Okay. All right. Okay.
187
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:26,940
Their working thesis is that
this is overseas terrorism...
188
00:11:26,930 --> 00:11:27,800
not domestic.
189
00:11:27,810 --> 00:11:30,320
Attention will quickly turn to
the bin Laden group...
190
00:11:30,310 --> 00:11:31,680
because it has long
tentacles.
191
00:11:31,690 --> 00:11:34,820
There are very few others that
could have pulled this off.
192
00:11:34,810 --> 00:11:36,020
Are we sending somebody
to New York?
193
00:11:36,020 --> 00:11:39,320
Ken Moore at Suvu was already up
there covering Wall Street.
194
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,940
What's going on over at State?
195
00:11:40,950 --> 00:11:41,870
Powell's in Peru.
196
00:11:41,860 --> 00:11:43,780
They're working on getting
him home as soon as possible.
197
00:11:43,780 --> 00:11:46,950
All right, what we need to do
is track the President.
198
00:11:46,950 --> 00:11:49,580
Track his top people
and find out...
199
00:11:49,580 --> 00:11:51,330
who's responsible for all this.
200
00:11:51,330 --> 00:11:53,870
We need as many sources
at as many agencies...
201
00:11:53,870 --> 00:11:57,290
to go on the record and tell us
all what we know has to be true.
202
00:11:57,300 --> 00:12:01,310
Al Qaeda! Al Qaeda!
lt's Al Qaeda.
203
00:12:01,300 --> 00:12:03,630
It's definitely Al Qaeda.
204
00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:06,100
What the hell are you wearing?
205
00:12:06,100 --> 00:12:08,100
Well, the wifey wanted
to evacuate...
206
00:12:08,100 --> 00:12:12,690
but she locked the cat
and the keys in the cars.
207
00:12:12,690 --> 00:12:14,360
So, I biked in.
208
00:12:14,350 --> 00:12:18,480
We need to know how
they pulled this off.
209
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,980
Anybody needs to go home
to their family...
210
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:22,830
feel free to do so.
211
00:12:22,820 --> 00:12:25,190
Just came from the family.
212
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,620
Let's get to work.
213
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,070
It's Walcott.
214
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,670
Today, our fellow citizens,
our way of life...
215
00:12:32,660 --> 00:12:37,540
our very freedom, came under
attack in a series...
216
00:12:37,540 --> 00:12:40,840
of deliberate and deadly
terrorist acts.
217
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,800
Adam, hand me the
Jameson, please.
218
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,090
Yes, sir. Here you go.
219
00:12:45,090 --> 00:12:47,050
Thank you, son.
220
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:49,760
It's on the house, gentlemen.
221
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:50,260
Thanks.
222
00:12:50,260 --> 00:12:53,350
Dad's saying we're staying open
as late as they want.
223
00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:55,520
[MRS. GREEN]
They must be scared.
224
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,690
[ADAM] They're Rangers.
They're boys.
225
00:12:58,690 --> 00:13:02,860
Our military is powerful and
it's prepared.
226
00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:04,610
The search is underway
for those...
227
00:13:04,610 --> 00:13:05,900
who are behind these evil acts.
228
00:13:05,950 --> 00:13:08,540
I 've directed the full
resources of our intelligence.
229
00:13:08,530 --> 00:13:12,410
and law enforcement communities
to find those responsible...
230
00:13:12,410 --> 00:13:16,250
and to bring them to justice.
231
00:13:18,540 --> 00:13:21,250
[JENNINGS] It's been 33 hours
since the terrible...
232
00:13:21,300 --> 00:13:23,550
and unprecedented attack
on the United States.
233
00:13:23,590 --> 00:13:26,800
There is, as we've said, an
enormous search and rescue...
234
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,550
operation, and enormous and
intense criminal investigation.
235
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:33,690
And we're just beginning
to understand...
236
00:13:33,680 --> 00:13:35,770
the extents of the catastrophe.
237
00:13:35,770 --> 00:13:37,310
[OFFICIAL] lfeel like I haven't
slept in a month.
238
00:13:37,310 --> 00:13:39,690
It's going to be a bunch
of zombies running this town.
239
00:13:39,690 --> 00:13:41,770
What do you know about
the preliminary plans...
240
00:13:41,770 --> 00:13:42,650
to go after bin Laden?
241
00:13:42,650 --> 00:13:44,320
I don't have anything to give
you on that yet.
242
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,650
Ok, well, how long before we're
on the ground in Afghanistan...
243
00:13:46,650 --> 00:13:48,280
and how long do they project
we'll be there?
244
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,070
Look, I'm trying to get answers
to the same questions you are.
245
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,670
What I can say is, most of the
talk this morning...
246
00:13:55,660 --> 00:13:58,200
hasn't been about Afghanistan.
247
00:13:58,210 --> 00:14:00,880
Well, what's it been about?
248
00:14:02,250 --> 00:14:02,790
Iraq?
249
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,510
I got it from a source at State
who got it from the Pentagon.
250
00:14:05,510 --> 00:14:07,430
In connection with the attacks?
251
00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:09,890
Crackpot theories from people
who don't know...
252
00:14:09,890 --> 00:14:11,980
what the hell they're talking
about
253
00:14:11,970 --> 00:14:13,590
It was Rumsfeld.
254
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:14,110
Really?
255
00:14:14,100 --> 00:14:16,680
Yeah, apparently, there's a lot
of people over at Defense...
256
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:18,810
that think this had to be
State-sponsored.
257
00:14:18,810 --> 00:14:22,480
I mean, notjust Rumsfeld,
there's also that smug...
258
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,270
son of a bitch at the Defense
Policy Board...
259
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:27,490
the Prince of Darkness?
260
00:14:27,490 --> 00:14:29,200
Richard Perle.
Right. Perle.
261
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,460
And that neo-con over at the
Project...
262
00:14:31,450 --> 00:14:33,990
for the New American
whatever the fuck...
263
00:14:33,990 --> 00:14:35,410
New American Century,
Bill Kristol.
264
00:14:35,410 --> 00:14:36,830
That giant butthole,
Bill Kristol.
265
00:14:36,830 --> 00:14:41,290
And he's got to be creaming his
little jammies over this.
266
00:14:41,290 --> 00:14:42,330
Yeah, these think-tank boys...
267
00:14:42,330 --> 00:14:44,710
have been trying to push out
Saddam Hussein since '97.
268
00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:48,800
They have this crazy theory that
if they can just stick...
269
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,090
a Western-style of democracy in
the Middle East...
270
00:14:51,090 --> 00:14:53,760
it's going to magically
proliferate...
271
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,800
and wind up protecting Israel.
272
00:14:54,810 --> 00:14:57,860
You got to give them credit
for creative thinking.
273
00:14:57,850 --> 00:14:59,350
It's Ivory Tower crap.
274
00:14:59,350 --> 00:15:02,440
I mean, in what world do they
think that Osama bin Laden...
275
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,610
and Saddam Hussein hatched
this thing up together?
276
00:15:05,610 --> 00:15:07,860
Let's find out if these
dickweeds...
277
00:15:07,860 --> 00:15:10,150
are serious about Iraq, okay?
278
00:15:10,150 --> 00:15:12,820
Look, l'm not saying there's
a link to Iraq...
279
00:15:12,820 --> 00:15:13,650
and neither is my boss.
280
00:15:13,660 --> 00:15:15,830
This is just something
we're hearing.
281
00:15:15,830 --> 00:15:16,540
From whom?
282
00:15:16,540 --> 00:15:19,380
Who told me or where is it
coming from?
283
00:15:19,370 --> 00:15:20,790
Take your pick.
284
00:15:20,790 --> 00:15:21,910
Someone at the Pentagon.
285
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,090
In the Vice President's office?
286
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:24,960
It's just theories.
287
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,460
Are there any Senators talking
to anyone...
288
00:15:27,460 --> 00:15:29,590
saying anything different?
289
00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:30,670
I know Powell's objected...
290
00:15:30,670 --> 00:15:34,800
to going into anywhere other
than Afghanistan.
291
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,060
(DRAMA TIC MUSIC PLAYING)
292
00:16:06,750 --> 00:16:07,290
Go away.
293
00:16:07,290 --> 00:16:08,380
One question and l'm gone.
294
00:16:08,380 --> 00:16:10,090
L'm not talking to you
on the record.
295

community.

00:16:15,180 --> 00:16:16,940

Pinky swear.
300
00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:26,520
One question.
301
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:30,730
Are you looking into an Iraqi
connection?
302
00:16:31,780 --> 00:16:34,540
Who's the you in that question?
303
00:16:34,530 --> 00:16:36,320
Are we in the United States?
304
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,070
There are some people.
305
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:39,460
Are we in my agency?
306
00:16:39,450 --> 00:16:41,490
Not that I'm aware of.
307
00:16:41,500 --> 00:16:44,420
Am I, personally?
308
00:16:44,420 --> 00:16:45,920
No way.
309
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,800
Okay, the second part
to the question.
310
00:16:48,790 --> 00:16:49,880
No.
311
00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:51,960
Thank you.
312
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,220
So, no one you work with at the
Library of Congress has ever...
313
00:16:55,220 --> 00:16:57,440
found a link between Saddam
Hussein and Al Qaeda?
314
00:16:57,430 --> 00:17:00,600
No one I work with
would expect to find a link.
315
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,600
So, as far as you know...
316
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,430
there's nothing substantial to
tie Iraq to bin Laden?
317
00:17:03,430 --> 00:17:04,850
There's nothing even
circumstantial.
318
00:17:04,850 --> 00:17:06,810
To lump together a secular
leader like Saddam...
319
00:17:06,810 --> 00:17:10,190
with an Islamic extremist
like bin Laden is simply...
320
00:17:10,190 --> 00:17:13,520
to have no understanding
of the Muslim world.
321
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:18,080
It's a bit timid.
322
00:17:18,070 --> 00:17:20,740
No one's actually come out and
said anything publicly yet.
323
00:17:20,740 --> 00:17:22,990
Maybe it's just backroom
speculation.
324
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,130
Pretty dangerous speculation.
325
00:17:24,120 --> 00:17:26,200
Can't we hit it harder than
this?
326
00:17:26,210 --> 00:17:27,970
The attacks were just 10 days
ago.
327
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:29,540

catch-up.

338
00:17:54,780 --> 00:17:55,830
Yeah, hi, it's Jonathan.
339
00:17:55,820 --> 00:17:57,570
[LOOSE NUKES] I don 't have
anything for you.
340
00:17:57,570 --> 00:18:00,910
No, I know, I know, but l'm
doing a story...
341
00:18:00,910 --> 00:18:02,870
on the administration's seeming
interest in Iraq.
342
00:18:02,870 --> 00:18:05,160
[LOOSE NUKES] Jonathan, we're
not going to talk about this.
343
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,870
No, I know, I know l'm not
talking about this...
344
00:18:07,870 --> 00:18:12,040
because it's off the record, but
can you give me some indication?
345
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,170
[LOOSE NUKES] Bye, Jonathan.
346
00:18:15,510 --> 00:18:16,890
What'd she say?
347
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,800
She sends her love.
348
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,220
[ANNOUNCER]
Across the nation...
349
00:18:20,220 --> 00:18:21,760
flags have been flying off
the shelves.
350
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,680
A wave of patriotism has been
spreading across America.
351
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:30,140
At times like this,
it's what we do in America.
352
00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:33,450
We the People pull together.
353
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,520
They had a discussion in school
today...
354
00:18:35,530 --> 00:18:38,330
about why America is so great,
right?
355
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:39,990
Yeah, and what'd you say?
356
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:41,400
It's a free country.
357
00:18:41,410 --> 00:18:43,000
That's a great answer.
358
00:18:42,990 --> 00:18:44,660
That's Mama's boy.
359
00:18:44,660 --> 00:18:46,240
May I be done now?
360
00:18:46,250 --> 00:18:48,210
Not until I get a big hug.
361
00:18:48,210 --> 00:18:51,670
Okay, after your mom gets a hug.
362
00:18:51,670 --> 00:18:53,930
Oh, whoa!
363
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,560
Proud of you, munchie.
364
00:18:57,550 --> 00:18:59,960
Love you.
365
00:19:00,550 --> 00:19:05,300
They're really pushing this
nationalism thing at school.
366
00:19:05,350 --> 00:19:06,230
What do you expect?
367
00:19:06,270 --> 00:19:08,440
Of course, there's
going to be patriotism now.
368
00:19:08,430 --> 00:19:12,770
Oh, you want to call it
patriotism?
369
00:19:12,770 --> 00:19:13,600
Fine.
370
00:19:13,650 --> 00:19:14,990
It smells a lot like
nationalism to me.
371
00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:20,780
That's how it started in
Yugoslavia before the war.
372
00:19:20,820 --> 00:19:23,530
Tore my country apart.
373
00:19:46,220 --> 00:19:49,050
You want some help?
374
00:19:49,060 --> 00:19:52,400
No, l'm okay, thank you.
375
00:19:53,850 --> 00:19:55,940
Okay, have a good night.
376
00:19:55,940 --> 00:19:57,480
Good night.
377
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,700
How real is the Iraqi
conversation?
378
00:20:06,700 --> 00:20:09,120
There's an argument
taking place.
379
00:20:09,120 --> 00:20:12,160
Yeah? Wh0's winning it?
380
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:12,910
I couldn't say.
381
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:17,260
Look, my boss is gonna send me
to Afghanistan, and all I want..
382
00:20:17,250 --> 00:20:20,630
To know is should he be buying
a roundtrip ticket...
383
00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:26,470
or is Afghanistan just a
layover on the way to Baghdad?
384
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,970
I can't tell you anything.
385
00:20:31,980 --> 00:20:34,070
[MYLROIE] I believe major acts
of terrorism...
386
00:20:34,060 --> 00:20:36,980
against the U. S. are
state-sponsored.
387
00:20:36,980 --> 00:20:40,110
So, we asked ourselves,
"Who could have been behind...
388
00:20:40,110 --> 00:20:44,110
the most massive terrorist
assault in human history...
389
00:20:44,110 --> 00:20:44,860
"which state ?"
390
00:20:44,860 --> 00:20:50,410
I think Iraq is the state that
most immediately comes to mind.
391
00:20:50,410 --> 00:20:53,290
This is an idea which in...
( PHONE RINGING )
392
00:20:53,290 --> 00:20:55,660
is gaining increased
credibility.
393
00:20:55,670 --> 00:20:57,130
Knight Ridder, it's Strobel.
394
00:20:57,130 --> 00:20:58,800
[THE ITALIAN LADY] Jim Woolsey
is going to Europe...
395
00:20:58,790 --> 00:21:00,630
to try to find a /ink
between Saddam...
396
00:21:00,630 --> 00:21:04,460
and the 1993 World Trade Center
bombing.
397
00:21:05,010 --> 00:21:05,880
ls he freelancing?
398
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,970
[THE ITALIAN LADY] He was sent
on an official government jet.
399
00:21:08,970 --> 00:21:10,470
Jesus, who sent him?
400
00:21:10,470 --> 00:21:13,850
[THE ITALIAN LADY]
The deputy defense secretary.
401
00:21:13,850 --> 00:21:15,520
Can you meet for coffee?
402
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,270
[THE ITALIAN LADY]
I'l/ be in touch.
403
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,900
Hi, this is Warren
Strobel with Knight Ridder.
404
00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:21,940
I'm working on a story...
405
00:21:21,940 --> 00:21:24,320
about former CIA director James
Woolsey traveling to Europe.
406
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:25,610
Do you know anything about that?
407
00:21:25,610 --> 00:21:28,700
[DIPLOMA T] I didn't have
anything to do with that.
408
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:30,740
But you're aware that such
a trip has taken place?
409
00:21:30,740 --> 00:21:34,790
[DIPLOMA T] I can 't be your only
source on this.
410
00:21:34,790 --> 00:21:37,830
All right, stay in touch.
411
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:40,790
Hey, John.
412
00:21:40,790 --> 00:21:42,710
Woolsey was sent to Europe
to look for evidence...
413
00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:45,550
linking Saddam to the World
Trade Center bombing in '93.
414
00:21:45,550 --> 00:21:49,680
W0uldn't be a fool's errand if
they didn't send a fool.
415
00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:51,260
This came from The Italian Lady?
416
00:21:51,260 --> 00:21:52,600
And a diplomat who can
confirm...
417
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:53,720
the trip was arranged by
Wolfowitz.
418
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,350
What the hell is going on
over at Defense?
419
00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:57,350
Question is, are they trying to
figure out...
420
00:21:57,350 --> 00:21:58,850
if there's any truth to their
theory...
421
00:21:58,850 --> 00:22:01,900
or are they already convinced
their theory is true?
422
00:22:01,900 --> 00:22:03,770
You're sure about
this Woolsey trip?
423
00:22:03,780 --> 00:22:06,200
Positive.
You have a third source?
424
00:22:06,190 --> 00:22:07,440
Yeah.
Who?
425
00:22:07,450 --> 00:22:09,750
Jim Woolsey.
426
00:22:20,830 --> 00:22:25,840
Hey, it's Walcott,
you up for a field trip?
427
00:22:27,670 --> 00:22:29,210
I figured you'd be calling...
428
00:22:29,220 --> 00:22:32,390
I just didn't think
it would be this soon.
429
00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:37,270
How real is the chatter
about Iraq?
430
00:22:37,270 --> 00:22:37,730
Very.
431
00:22:37,730 --> 00:22:42,110
And it's diverting our attention
from the people who attacked us.
432
00:22:42,110 --> 00:22:46,160
How soon before Iraq becomes
the focus?
433
00:22:46,900 --> 00:22:49,320
We need to blow something up.
434
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,740
Not enough targets in
Afghanistan.
435
00:22:51,740 --> 00:22:52,860
What about bin Laden?
436
00:22:52,870 --> 00:22:53,830
You take out bin Laden...
437
00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:57,590
interest in the war goes right
down the shitter.
438
00:22:57,830 --> 00:23:01,500
[REPORTER] A joint offensive in
its sixth day in Tora Bora...
439
00:23:01,500 --> 00:23:03,080
bin Laden 's suspected
hideout...
440
00:23:03,090 --> 00:23:05,760
but still no signs of the
world's most wanted man.
441
00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:10,210
U. S. B-52s pounding AI Qaeda
positions from the air...
442
00:23:10,220 --> 00:23:11,680
while anti-Taliban tanks...
443
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:13,390
and troops meet strong
resistance...
444
00:23:13,390 --> 00:23:15,810
cave to cave,
from Al Qaeda fighters.
445
00:23:15,810 --> 00:23:17,940
With yet more conflicting
reports...
446
00:23:17,930 --> 00:23:22,100
on bin Laden's whereabouts.
447
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:22,980
What you got there...
448
00:23:22,980 --> 00:23:25,520
is that your State of the
Union piece for tomorrow?
449
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,940
Yup.
You got a lunch today?
450
00:23:27,940 --> 00:23:29,320
Not with you.
451
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,110
I got a one-on-one with Looney
Tunes over at State.
452
00:23:32,110 --> 00:23:33,030
There's a dry hole.
453
00:23:33,030 --> 00:23:34,660
Yeah, well, I figured if I just
let him ramble on...
454
00:23:34,660 --> 00:23:37,490
he'll accidentally stumble
into something newsworthy.
455
00:23:37,490 --> 00:23:38,450
Yeah, well, give my best.
456
00:23:38,450 --> 00:23:40,660
I will. Hot off the presses,
Beryl.
457
00:23:40,660 --> 00:23:41,950
Did you use punctuation
this time?
458
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:43,510
I even threw in a few semicolons
just for you.
459
00:23:43,500 --> 00:23:47,290
I bet you're the pride of the
University of Missouri.
460
00:23:47,300 --> 00:23:51,520
Terrorists who once occupied
Afghanistan...
461
00:23:51,510 --> 00:23:55,510
now occupy cells
at Guantanamo Bay.
462
00:23:57,260 --> 00:24:00,510
And terrorist leaders who urged
followers to sacrifice...
463
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,610
their lives are running'
for their own.
464
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:08,270
Now, the administration's top
priority apart from our own...
465
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,330
security is to ensure
freedom for other countries...
466
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:16,410
looking to embrace democracy
as a way of life.
467
00:24:16,410 --> 00:24:19,830
Now, we-- excuse me-- we
understand that we can't...
468
00:24:19,830 --> 00:24:21,410
be the policemen to the world...
469
00:24:21,410 --> 00:24:24,540
but we feel we
have a responsibility to...
470
00:24:24,540 --> 00:24:25,830
Yeah, John Walcott.
471
00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:27,620
[DIXIE] John!
472
00:24:27,630 --> 00:24:28,340
Dixie?
473
00:24:28,340 --> 00:24:29,680
[DIXIE] John, can you hear me?
474
00:24:29,670 --> 00:24:30,750
Yeah, yeah, I can hear you.
475
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:33,220
I got a call from one of
our boys downrange today...
476
00:24:33,220 --> 00:24:35,230
asking me what the fuck's
going on.
477
00:24:35,220 --> 00:24:36,930
Are you still in Afghanistan?
478
00:24:36,930 --> 00:24:38,010
Yeah, I'm in Afghanistan...
479
00:24:38,010 --> 00:24:39,550
but nobody knows what the
mission is anymore.
480
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,320
How do you bomb a country back
into the Stone Age...
481
00:24:41,310 --> 00:24:43,600
that's already in the middle
of the goddamn Stone Age?
482
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:46,730
Our second goal is to prevent
regimes that sponsor terror...
483
00:24:46,730 --> 00:24:51,360
from threatening America,
or our friends and allies...
484
00:24:51,360 --> 00:24:52,980
with weapons of mass
destruction.
485
00:24:52,990 --> 00:24:57,000
We believe that Afghanistan
is ripe for freedom.
486
00:24:56,990 --> 00:25:00,450
Now, this is a country that has
been struggling to free...
487
00:25:00,450 --> 00:25:03,450
itself from the repressive grip
of the Taliban for years.
488
00:25:03,460 --> 00:25:07,050
We've got bin Laden on the run
and they're diverting my assets.
489
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,830
We may never get him in our
crosshairs again.
490
00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,430
Whoa, whoa, wait, they're
diverting your assets to where?
491
00:25:12,460 --> 00:25:14,840
Some of these regimes have been
pretty quiet since...
492
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,340
September the 11 th, but we know
their true nature.
493
00:25:18,390 --> 00:25:22,690
You know, it's a country in
desperate need of the kind...
494
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,430
of stability that comes with the
rule of law.
495
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,240
North Korea, Iran, Iraq...
states like these...
496
00:25:29,230 --> 00:25:34,530
and their terrorist allies
constitute an axis of evil...
497
00:25:34,530 --> 00:25:36,860
arming to threaten the
peace of the world.
498
00:25:36,860 --> 00:25:37,950
You'll have to excuse me...
499
00:25:37,950 --> 00:25:41,820
Warren, but I have to prepare
a briefing for Secretary Powell.
500
00:25:41,830 --> 00:25:42,380
Sure.
501
00:25:42,370 --> 00:25:43,780
Anything else you need from me?
502
00:25:43,790 --> 00:25:44,590
No, no, thank you.
503
00:25:44,580 --> 00:25:47,370
I think you've given me
more than enough to chew on.
504
00:25:47,370 --> 00:25:48,000
Excellent.
505
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,580
And you feel confident that
Afghanistan...
506
00:25:49,580 --> 00:25:51,750
will accept a Western-style
democracy?
507
00:25:51,750 --> 00:25:52,420
Oh, absolutely.
508
00:25:52,420 --> 00:25:54,840
Just as confident as
we are about Iraq.
509
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,840
Sounds like the debate on Iraq
is getting serious.
510
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,260
Oh, no, no, no, that debate
is over.
511
00:26:01,260 --> 00:26:05,310
Saddam's got to go,
the only question is how.
512
00:26:05,310 --> 00:26:06,680
Good talking to you, Warren.
513
00:26:06,690 --> 00:26:09,280
Yeah, you, too, sir.
514
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:11,950
The president
is going to invade Iraq.
515
00:26:11,940 --> 00:26:13,310
[WALCOTT]
You got this from Looney Tunes?
516
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:15,450
Yeah, and confirmed by a
diplomat who says he met...
517
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,610
with Bush, and a foreign leader
recently who came away with...
518
00:26:18,610 --> 00:26:22,070
"The feeling that a decision has
been made to strike lraq."
519
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,920
Do you think we can get enough
to run the story?
520
00:26:24,910 --> 00:26:27,830
Unfortunately, I do.
521
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,590
So much for the ceasefire.
522
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,900
Yeah, well, really nice of us...
523
00:26:42,890 --> 00:26:46,760
to temporarily stop shooting
at them, though.
524
00:26:56,940 --> 00:27:00,070
J' l've been bound up
and wound up J'
525
00:27:00,070 --> 00:27:02,280
J' Could barely get a sound up J'
526
00:27:02,280 --> 00:27:03,660
J' Been cheated mistreated J'
527
00:27:03,660 --> 00:27:06,780
J' Don't even want to
think of it J'
528
00:27:06,790 --> 00:27:08,090
What are you up to, Smucker?
529
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:12,120
You know, I tried to chat
with your translator today.
530
00:27:12,130 --> 00:27:13,050
Yeah, how'd that go?
531
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:16,590
Well, for a guy who gets paid
to talk for a living...
532
00:27:16,590 --> 00:27:19,170
he was unusually quiet.
533
00:27:19,170 --> 00:27:21,380
He only talks to me.
534
00:27:21,380 --> 00:27:25,090
Really? And what'd he tell you?
535
00:27:25,100 --> 00:27:28,860
Dollar, l'll let you read
all about it.
536
00:27:28,850 --> 00:27:32,480
Let me see it.
537
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,650
Bin Laden's gone, isn't he?
538
00:27:36,650 --> 00:27:39,820
They missed him, didn't they?
539
00:27:39,820 --> 00:27:45,410
He was here and they fucking
missed him!
540
00:27:45,990 --> 00:27:47,780
[REPORTER] A senior U. S.
military official...
541
00:27:47,790 --> 00:27:50,250
tells NBC News "Despite the
crushing defeat...
542
00:27:50,250 --> 00:27:51,710
"of Al Qaeda forces
at Tora Bora...
543
00:27:51,710 --> 00:27:54,880
"it's believed now that Osama
bin Laden has slipped...
544
00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:57,890
"across the border into
Pakistan, seeking refuge...
545
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,290
"in a lawless no man's land...
546
00:27:59,300 --> 00:28:02,560
"ruled by renegade tribal
warlords. "
547
00:28:02,550 --> 00:28:03,800
Oh, it's official...
548
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,470
this is the saddest event
l've ever attended.
549
00:28:06,470 --> 00:28:09,100
I'm going back to my apartment,
drink a bottle of wine...
550
00:28:09,100 --> 00:28:10,470
and put my head in the oven.
551
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:11,480
Okay, but before you do that...
552
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:15,280
I really want you to meet the
guy I was telling you about.
553
00:28:15,270 --> 00:28:16,650
Oh! He just walked in!
554
00:28:16,650 --> 00:28:18,650
Forget the wine, l'll kill
myself now.
555
00:28:18,650 --> 00:28:23,650
No, not him... him.
l'll introduce you.
556
00:28:23,660 --> 00:28:24,710
Pam, please don't.
557
00:28:24,700 --> 00:28:27,200
Warren! Hey!
Oh, hi.
558
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,910
Glad you could make it,
come on over.
559
00:28:28,910 --> 00:28:32,040
Warren, this is a
good friend of mine, Lisa Mayr.
560
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:34,540
Lisa, this is Warren Strobel,
he's a journalist...
561
00:28:34,540 --> 00:28:37,080
and l'm gonna get another drink.
562
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:39,890
Hi, uh, Lisa?
563
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,840
Yeah.
Yeah, nice to meet you.
564
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:44,050
Hi.
Uh...
565
00:28:44,380 --> 00:28:47,010
Did you ever make it
into your apartment?
566
00:28:47,010 --> 00:28:51,760
Uh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah,
no, no, no, l'm sorry.
567
00:28:51,770 --> 00:28:56,450
Yeah, I made it in okay.
Good. Good.
568
00:28:57,270 --> 00:28:59,350
So, you're a journalist?
569
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,910
Yeah, yeah, for Knight Ridder.
570
00:29:01,900 --> 00:29:04,150
Oh, is that a magazine
or a newspaper?
571
00:29:04,150 --> 00:29:09,490
It's actually a consortium
of 31 newspapers, actually.
572
00:29:09,490 --> 00:29:11,240
Well, my stories go out to all
of our newspapers...
573
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,540
and each one has the option
to publish or not.
574
00:29:14,540 --> 00:29:18,620
Oh, okay. l've always wondered
how that worked.
575
00:29:18,630 --> 00:29:20,470
Yeah.
576
00:29:22,670 --> 00:29:26,550
Hey, I got married when
I was 22.
577
00:29:26,550 --> 00:29:30,470
And we're only recently
separated, so...
578
00:29:30,470 --> 00:29:33,180
This is a little awkward for me.
579
00:29:33,180 --> 00:29:34,310
It's okay.
580
00:29:34,310 --> 00:29:35,970
L'm a little out of practice.
581
00:29:35,980 --> 00:29:40,450
Why don't you start
by asking me a question?
582
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:43,730
Sure, yeah.
583
00:29:44,570 --> 00:29:47,820
Are you a Republican
or a Democrat?
584
00:29:48,950 --> 00:29:49,950
Try again.
585
00:29:49,950 --> 00:29:53,530
Yeah, of course, she wants you
to call her.
586
00:29:53,540 --> 00:29:54,420
She gave you her card.
587
00:29:54,410 --> 00:29:56,790
No, maybe she's just trying
to gin up business.
588
00:29:56,790 --> 00:29:59,500
At a singles mixer
on Valentine's Day?
589
00:29:59,500 --> 00:30:01,460
What? So, call her? I should
call her?
590
00:30:01,460 --> 00:30:03,340
What? No, no, no,
actually, let her dangle.
591
00:30:03,340 --> 00:30:05,920
There's nothing a woman in her
30s likes more...
592
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:08,090
than a guy who takes his time.
593
00:30:08,090 --> 00:30:09,340
I'm fine, Arthur, I'm fine.
594
00:30:09,340 --> 00:30:12,390
It's just that l'm getting a
little tired...
595
00:30:12,390 --> 00:30:13,970
of picking up your paper
every morning...
596
00:30:13,970 --> 00:30:16,470
and seeing that you're not
running our stories.
597
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,530
I mean, last time I looked...
598
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:21,310
The Philadelphia Inquirer was
a Knight Ridder paper, right?
599
00:30:21,310 --> 00:30:25,270
The point is, there's no point
in being a Knight Ridder paper..
600
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,580
If you're not going to run
Knight Ridder stories.
601
00:30:27,570 --> 00:30:29,900
John, we've been through
this already.
602
00:30:29,910 --> 00:30:31,160
Your stories don't fit...
603
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,960
in with what we're doing
over here right now.
604
00:30:33,950 --> 00:30:36,330
D0n't fit? Don't fit with what?
The truth?
605
00:30:36,330 --> 00:30:37,950
What's the matter, Arthur...
606
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:39,590
the truth doesn't sell
papers anymore?
607
00:30:39,580 --> 00:30:41,670
[BROKA W] And today, for the
first time...
608
00:30:41,670 --> 00:30:42,790
the administration provided...
609
00:30:42,790 --> 00:30:46,340
details for what it has always
insisted was a connection...
610
00:30:46,340 --> 00:30:49,260
between Saddam Hussein
and AI Qaeda.
611
00:30:49,260 --> 00:30:50,260
How strong is that case?
612
00:30:50,260 --> 00:30:52,340
[REPORTER] Iraqi president
Saddam Hussein says...
613
00:30:52,350 --> 00:30:55,310
he does not have any illegal
weapons of mass destruction...
614
00:30:55,310 --> 00:30:59,190
and accused the United States
of using weapons...
615
00:30:59,190 --> 00:31:01,240
as a pretext to start a war.
616
00:31:01,230 --> 00:31:05,560
Mr. Galloway, how closely did
the movie conform to your book?
617
00:31:05,570 --> 00:31:08,990
The movie was about 80% accurate
and 20% bullshit...
618
00:31:09,030 --> 00:31:14,450
which I guess by Hollywood
standards is an accomplishment.
619
00:31:14,740 --> 00:31:17,450
What inspired you to write
the book?
620
00:31:17,450 --> 00:31:19,580
Being shot at by the North
Vietnamese army.
621
00:31:19,580 --> 00:31:21,620
What was the biggest difference
between experiencing...
622
00:31:21,670 --> 00:31:26,470
the Battle of la Drang in person
versus watching it in a theater?
623
00:31:26,460 --> 00:31:29,550
The popcorn in la Drang was
saltier.
624
00:31:30,380 --> 00:31:31,090
Last question.
625
00:31:31,090 --> 00:31:33,180
Can you draw any comparisons
between Vietnam...
626
00:31:33,180 --> 00:31:35,590
and what's happening today
in Afghanistan?
627
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:38,690
It's very different, but I think
it is appropriate...
628
00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:42,850
that before we start dropping
bombs, we think long and hard...
629
00:31:42,850 --> 00:31:46,440
about the greatest lesson
we got from Vietnam.
630
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:47,150
Which is?
631
00:31:47,150 --> 00:31:51,940
When the government fucks up,
the soldiers pay the price.
632
00:31:51,950 --> 00:31:54,920
To what do I owe this
unexpected visit?
633
00:31:54,910 --> 00:31:57,240
Well, I was hoping I'd get
an autograph...
634
00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:59,660
from the world's most famous
war correspondent.
635
00:31:59,660 --> 00:32:03,620
I hate this part. Reporters are
not supposed to be the story.
636
00:32:03,630 --> 00:32:07,510
Reporters are not supposed to be
awarded the Bronze Star, either.
637
00:32:07,500 --> 00:32:09,750
How do you like the job
at State?
638
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,390
I love working for General
Powell...
639
00:32:11,380 --> 00:32:13,340
and I hate working
for Uncle Sam.
640
00:32:13,340 --> 00:32:14,840
You miss reporting?
641
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:16,430
After 42 years, I thought...
642
00:32:16,430 --> 00:32:17,640
I should take some time
away from it.
643
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,310
S0, I went to work at the State
Department on September 10th...
644
00:32:21,310 --> 00:32:23,640
and the next day the biggest
story of my life broke.
645
00:32:23,650 --> 00:32:26,150
I'd say there's a little bit
of a tug.
646
00:32:26,150 --> 00:32:30,870
We're working on something
important, that's why I'm here.
647
00:32:30,860 --> 00:32:32,900
To make me envious?
648
00:32:32,900 --> 00:32:34,780
To make you an offer.
649
00:32:34,780 --> 00:32:38,570
[HANNITY] If he gets weapons
of mass destruction, Jerry.
650
00:32:38,580 --> 00:32:40,540
What does that mean
for the world?
651
00:32:40,540 --> 00:32:42,090
What does that mean
for the Middle East?
652
00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,790
Can you turn it down?
l'm trying to watch the news.
653
00:32:44,790 --> 00:32:47,330
Stop calling it that.
654
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:49,260
Hey, son.
655
00:32:53,420 --> 00:32:56,170
Adam, what's the matter?
656
00:32:56,180 --> 00:32:59,440
I met with a recruiter.
657
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:06,360
[HANNITY] A lot of people
are gonna die, Jerry.
658
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:10,770
You know once you sign up...
659
00:33:10,780 --> 00:33:13,410
there's no changing your mind,
right?
660
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:13,900
I know.
661
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:16,110
What do you know?
You're just a kid.
662
00:33:16,110 --> 00:33:17,950
Whose country was attacked.
663
00:33:17,950 --> 00:33:20,820
Adam, I know you want to do what
you think is right...
664
00:33:20,830 --> 00:33:22,750
but war is not a video game.
665
00:33:22,750 --> 00:33:25,010
You have no idea what
you're getting into.
666
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,790
I know exactly what
l'm getting into.
667
00:33:32,590 --> 00:33:33,750
Here.
668
00:33:33,760 --> 00:33:39,390
Show me where Afghanistan
is on this map.
669
00:33:39,390 --> 00:33:40,690
Show me.
670
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,680
They're gonna send you halfway
around the world to fight...
671
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:45,680
people you didn't even know
existed a year ago.
672
00:33:45,690 --> 00:33:48,240
If you know what you're
getting into...
673
00:33:48,230 --> 00:33:52,060
show me where Afghanistan
is on this map.
674
00:33:52,070 --> 00:33:55,790
Did anyone ever shove a map
in Dad's face...
675
00:33:55,780 --> 00:33:59,280
and ask him to find Vietnam?
676
00:34:04,250 --> 00:34:08,260
[CHENEY] We now know that
Saddam has resumed...
677
00:34:08,250 --> 00:34:10,330
his efforts to acquire
nuclear weapons.
678
00:34:10,340 --> 00:34:13,930
Among other sources, we 've
gotten this from firsthand...
679
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:15,090
testimony from defectors.
680
00:34:15,090 --> 00:34:17,920
Many of us are convinced
that Saddam Hussein...
681
00:34:17,930 --> 00:34:20,440
will acquire nuclear weapons
fairly soon.
682
00:34:20,430 --> 00:34:24,760
Simply stated, there is no
doubt that Saddam Hussein...
683
00:34:24,770 --> 00:34:26,400
now has weapons of mass
destruction.
684
00:34:26,390 --> 00:34:29,430
They're dialing up
the rhetoric on Iraq.
685
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:32,780
Let's see if we can nail
them down, okay?
686
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,610
Twenty bucks, whoever gets
the best quote.
687
00:34:36,610 --> 00:34:39,650
N0, no, no, you're such a child.
688
00:34:39,660 --> 00:34:40,750
You're such a pussy.
689
00:34:40,740 --> 00:34:41,780
I'm not taking your money.
690
00:34:41,780 --> 00:34:43,280
You get all bent out of shape
when you lose.
691
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:44,990
I don't care. l'm just the same
when I win or lose.
692
00:34:44,990 --> 00:34:46,910
L'm not-- it's not a bet,
all right, fine.
693
00:34:46,910 --> 00:34:49,410
Warren Strobel for Senator
Biden, please.
694
00:34:49,420 --> 00:34:50,090
Son of a bitch.
695
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,920
Biden told Bush, "There's a
reason your father didn't go...
696
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,710
"to Baghdad. He knew he would
have to stay...
697
00:34:54,710 --> 00:34:55,670
"for at least five years."
698
00:34:55,670 --> 00:34:58,210
I got Michael O'Hanlon
at Brookings saying...
699
00:34:58,220 --> 00:35:02,270
"You definitely cannot
count on it being a cakewalk."
700
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,270
We gotta hit it harder
than that.
701
00:35:04,260 --> 00:35:06,640
All right, well, hang on. I got
an official at the U.N...
702
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,140
that says, "There's widespread
concern...
703
00:35:08,140 --> 00:35:11,020
"that this will destabilize
the whole Middle East."
704
00:35:11,020 --> 00:35:13,440
Let me see what you have.
705
00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:14,440
Well, wait, I got-- I got--
706
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,190
Just give it to me,
give, give, give.
707
00:35:17,190 --> 00:35:18,320
Okay.
708
00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,900
All right.
709
00:35:19,900 --> 00:35:24,450
Let's see here... all right.
710
00:36:10,250 --> 00:36:12,090
You guys are smart.
711
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,000
You know what's unfolding here.
712
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:19,500
Our readers need to know what
we've learned.
713
00:36:21,590 --> 00:36:25,090
"In the best case scenario, U.S.
troops could be stuck in Iraq...
714
00:36:25,090 --> 00:36:28,340
"for years trying to teach the
inner workings of democracy...
715
00:36:28,350 --> 00:36:32,190
"to a nation that has never
known it. In the worst case...
716
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:36,490
"scenario, an invasion could
cause Iraq's fractious ethnic...
717
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:39,270
"groups to break off into their
own mini-states...
718
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:42,410
"trapping American combat forces
in the middle...
719
00:36:42,400 --> 00:36:46,200
"of a bloody civil war
for decades."
720
00:36:47,990 --> 00:36:50,370
Boss man's got balls.
721
00:36:50,370 --> 00:36:52,870
Yeah.
722
00:37:17,810 --> 00:37:26,530
Shit.
723
00:37:26,530 --> 00:37:27,950
Were those for me?
724
00:37:27,950 --> 00:37:30,410
No. Yes.
725
00:37:30,410 --> 00:37:35,120
But I thought it might be
a little, I don't know...
726
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,750
a little too soon to be giving
each other gifts.
727
00:37:37,750 --> 00:37:40,170
It would've been all right.
728
00:37:40,170 --> 00:37:40,710
Okay.
729
00:37:40,710 --> 00:37:42,960
Well, I think they landed
on my car...
730
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,760
so if you want to grab them
on the way to dinner...
731
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:47,970
maybe we can do that?
732
00:37:47,970 --> 00:37:50,470
Great.
Great.
733
00:37:52,180 --> 00:37:55,970
Okay, so what was the most
embarrassing thing...
734
00:37:55,980 --> 00:37:58,320
you did to prepare for tonight?
735
00:38:00,730 --> 00:38:01,860
All right.
736
00:38:01,860 --> 00:38:04,320
I will admit, that to prepare
for tonight...
737
00:38:04,320 --> 00:38:06,610
I did kind of a cram session
on Iraq...
738
00:38:06,610 --> 00:38:10,410
and the history of the Muslim
world.
739
00:38:10,410 --> 00:38:11,570
Really?
740
00:38:11,580 --> 00:38:12,080
Yes.
741
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,710
Now I know that 1400 years ago,
after the death of Muhammad...
742
00:38:14,700 --> 00:38:17,290
Muslims fought over who was to
be his rightful heir...
743
00:38:17,290 --> 00:38:19,460
and that caused a split
into two factions...
744
00:38:19,460 --> 00:38:20,460
the Sunnis and the Shiites.
745
00:38:20,460 --> 00:38:21,710
And they've been at war
ever since.
746
00:38:21,710 --> 00:38:23,790
Then, at the end of World War I,
the British and the French...
747
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:27,100
arbitrarily divided the Arab
world into countries...
748
00:38:27,090 --> 00:38:28,720
putting the Sunni majority
in charge.
749
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:33,430
But the country that became Iraq
is made up of only 20% Sunni.
750
00:38:33,430 --> 00:38:38,350
So, Saddam Hussein, a Sunni,
with an iron fist rules...
751
00:38:38,350 --> 00:38:39,680
the majority Shiite
population...
752
00:38:39,690 --> 00:38:42,950
and the 20% Kurdish population
in northern Iraq.
753
00:38:42,940 --> 00:38:46,190
But if Saddam Hussein were
removed, it could possibly...
754
00:38:46,190 --> 00:38:49,190
reignite that 1400-year-old
sectarian war.
755
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:50,750
Now, after reading your
stories...
756
00:38:50,740 --> 00:38:54,320
I know that Iran is the top
sponsor of terror, not Iraq.
757
00:38:54,330 --> 00:38:58,300
That a man named Ahmed Chalabi
seems to be a con artist...
758
00:38:58,290 --> 00:39:00,040
who wants to replace
Saddam Hussein.
759
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:02,500
That the neo-cons in the Bush
Administration...
760
00:39:02,500 --> 00:39:03,500
are pushing for an invasion.
761
00:39:03,500 --> 00:39:08,050
And you are quickly becoming
my favorite writer.
762
00:39:08,050 --> 00:39:10,170
Wow.
763
00:39:13,300 --> 00:39:18,140
Um... I guess it's my turn.
764
00:39:18,140 --> 00:39:19,060
Give it to me.
765
00:39:19,060 --> 00:39:22,060
Okay, I will admit that--
766
00:39:22,060 --> 00:39:25,060
This is a little embarrassing.
767
00:39:25,070 --> 00:39:30,750
I asked my ex-wife to watch
my two sons tonight.
768
00:39:30,740 --> 00:39:31,900
Why is that embarrassing?
769
00:39:31,910 --> 00:39:34,330
Because a babysitter would
expect me home...
770
00:39:34,330 --> 00:39:38,420
at the end of the evening and--
771
00:39:38,410 --> 00:39:40,410
Should we get the check?
772
00:39:40,410 --> 00:39:44,120
Tell your boss we're gonna run
it whether he comments or not!
773
00:39:44,130 --> 00:39:47,260
Actually yes, it is a matter
of life and death!
774
00:39:47,250 --> 00:39:52,010
We're talking about going
to fucking war!
775
00:39:52,010 --> 00:39:54,760
Hello?
776
00:39:54,930 --> 00:39:57,890
L'm guessing that was
a no comment?
777
00:39:57,890 --> 00:40:00,390
What are you grinning
about?
778
00:40:00,390 --> 00:40:01,430
What? l'm not grinning.
779
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,150
You're grinning.
l'm not grinning.
780
00:40:04,150 --> 00:40:05,990
L'm not--
What have you got over there?
781
00:40:05,980 --> 00:40:07,520
Relax! Don't worry about it.
782
00:40:07,530 --> 00:40:09,030
Oh my God, she could
do my taxes.
783
00:40:09,030 --> 00:40:10,990
All right, relax.
( PHONE RINGING )
784
00:40:10,990 --> 00:40:14,710
Strobel, Knight Ridder.
Of course.
785
00:40:17,240 --> 00:40:18,870
Okay.
786
00:40:18,870 --> 00:40:21,160
All right, I'll be right there.
787
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,210
Let's go, this could be
something.
788
00:40:28,380 --> 00:40:29,670
So, how does this work?
789
00:40:29,670 --> 00:40:34,300
Do you ask me questions or do
I just start talking?
790
00:40:34,470 --> 00:40:36,340
Why don't you just begin...
791
00:40:36,350 --> 00:40:37,980
and we'll ask the questions
when we have them.
792
00:40:37,970 --> 00:40:40,560
If it's off the record,
I have to say so, right?
793
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,810
Do you want it to be
off the record?
794
00:40:42,810 --> 00:40:47,060
I want people to know what
I know, but not who I am.
795
00:40:47,060 --> 00:40:48,190
It'll be background.
796
00:40:48,190 --> 00:40:52,150
You'll be referred to
as a U.S. official.
797
00:40:57,830 --> 00:41:01,750
So, whatever you feel
comfortable telling us.
798
00:41:03,710 --> 00:41:07,630
I believe your prediction about
what could and will happen...
799
00:41:07,630 --> 00:41:09,640
if we go to war is spot on.
800
00:41:09,630 --> 00:41:13,090
And we're a lot closer
than you think.
801
00:41:13,090 --> 00:41:13,840
How close?
802
00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:17,180
A secret war planning group
with a parallel intelligence...
803
00:41:17,180 --> 00:41:19,840
operation has been set up
to bypass...
804
00:41:19,850 --> 00:41:22,520
the rest of the
intelligence community.
805
00:41:22,520 --> 00:41:23,400
How do you know this?
806
00:41:23,390 --> 00:41:26,350
They meet in the building
where I work.
807
00:41:26,350 --> 00:41:28,350
And which building is that?
808
00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:32,620
The one with the five sides.
809
00:41:32,610 --> 00:41:34,650
But you're not a part
of that unit?
810
00:41:34,650 --> 00:41:35,440
No.
811
00:41:35,450 --> 00:41:36,950
So, how do you know about this?
812
00:41:36,950 --> 00:41:39,330
My desk is across the hall.
813
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:40,880
What office do you work for?
814
00:41:40,870 --> 00:41:46,330
Near East South Asia division,
but you can't disclose that.
815
00:41:46,330 --> 00:41:47,660
You're an analyst?
816
00:41:47,670 --> 00:41:51,430
Yes... but you can't disclose
that, either.
817
00:41:51,420 --> 00:41:53,960
L'm speaking to you because
l'm an American citizen...
818
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,510
and I don't like what these
people are doing.
819
00:41:56,510 --> 00:42:00,180
Half a dozen men, most of whom
have never served...
820
00:42:00,180 --> 00:42:02,050
in the military are making
decisions...
821
00:42:02,060 --> 00:42:05,610
based on shoddy intelligence,
and those decisions...
822
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,850
will impact our men
and women in uniform.
823
00:42:07,850 --> 00:42:15,020
And as someone who has worn that
uniform, I can't remain silent.
824
00:42:15,030 --> 00:42:20,370
You said shoddy intelligence.
What do you mean by that?
825
00:42:20,370 --> 00:42:23,840
They've designed a process
that doesn't conform...
826
00:42:23,830 --> 00:42:27,830
to any basic tenet
of intelligence gathering.
827
00:42:27,830 --> 00:42:28,540
In what way?
828
00:42:28,540 --> 00:42:30,870
A decision is made,
then the intelligence...
829
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:34,800
is sought to support
that decision.
830
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:35,760
How do you know this?
831
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,060
They have no interest
in Arabic speakers.
832
00:42:39,050 --> 00:42:41,380
Israelis come in without
passes“.
833
00:42:41,390 --> 00:42:44,560
Without even being entered
into a security log.
834
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,780
And for years the government has
been funding a group...
835
00:42:47,770 --> 00:42:52,730
of exiled dissidents called the
Iraqi National Congress.
836
00:42:52,730 --> 00:42:54,190
Led by Ahmad Chalabi, we know.
837
00:42:54,190 --> 00:42:57,110
Who they want to install
as the new leader of Iraq.
838
00:42:57,110 --> 00:42:59,570
Yeah, we've been trying to get
a meeting with him.
839
00:42:59,570 --> 00:43:03,160
Do you know who set up
this operation?
840
00:43:06,410 --> 00:43:08,490
Donald Rumsfeld.
841
00:43:08,540 --> 00:43:10,580
Is there any evidence to
indicate that Iraq...
842
00:43:10,620 --> 00:43:15,500
has attempted to or is willing
to supply terrorists...
843
00:43:15,500 --> 00:43:17,040
with weapons of mass
destruction?
844
00:43:17,050 --> 00:43:21,890
The reports that say that
something hasn't happened...
845
00:43:21,890 --> 00:43:25,190
are always interesting to me
because as we know...
846
00:43:25,180 --> 00:43:29,970
there are known knowns, there
are things we know we know.
847
00:43:29,980 --> 00:43:32,070
We also know there are known
unknowns.
848
00:43:32,060 --> 00:43:35,860
That is to say, we know there
are some things we do not know.
849
00:43:35,860 --> 00:43:38,360
But there are also unknown
unknowns.
850
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:39,900
The one's we don 't know
we don 't know.
851
00:43:39,900 --> 00:43:42,780
We're working on a theory that
the administration...
852
00:43:42,780 --> 00:43:44,320
has already decided to go
to war...
853
00:43:44,330 --> 00:43:46,790
and is now focused on how
to justify it.
854
00:43:46,790 --> 00:43:47,880
It's not a theory.
855
00:43:47,870 --> 00:43:50,200
We've also been told by a number
of individuals that...
856
00:43:50,210 --> 00:43:53,470
Rumsfeld's the one spearheading
this intelligence gathering.
857
00:43:53,460 --> 00:43:56,000
I wouldn't exactly
call it intelligence gathering.
858
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,130
It's more like
intelligence cherry picking.
859
00:43:58,130 --> 00:43:59,920
And if they don't find
any cherries...
860
00:43:59,920 --> 00:44:01,170
they just grab a piece
of shit...
861
00:44:01,180 --> 00:44:05,230
and they paint it red, and they
stick it in a Shirley Temple.
862
00:44:05,220 --> 00:44:07,890
You seem irritated.
863
00:44:07,890 --> 00:44:10,680
L'm out there looking for
weapons that might not exist...
864
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,600
to justify a war that might
not be wise.
865
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:18,770
And have you found any evidence
of WMD?
866
00:44:18,780 --> 00:44:19,700
No, sir.
867
00:44:19,690 --> 00:44:21,440
But Saddam is looking to acquire
nukes, right?
868
00:44:21,450 --> 00:44:24,500
Yeah, and l'm trying to fuck
Jennifer Lopez, but I have...
869
00:44:24,490 --> 00:44:26,910
a sinking feeling that neither
of those things is gonna happen.
870
00:44:26,910 --> 00:44:32,700
So, we won't use your identity,
but can we get a quote?
871
00:44:32,710 --> 00:44:33,300
Sure.
872
00:44:33,290 --> 00:44:35,500
Have you found anything to
support the administration's...
873
00:44:35,500 --> 00:44:39,670
theory that Saddam is close to
or has acquired nuclear weapons?
874
00:44:39,670 --> 00:44:40,920
We've searched every cave...
875
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,260
and looked up every camel's ass
in Iraq.
876
00:44:43,260 --> 00:44:49,470
So, here's your quote,
"no fucking way."
877
00:44:50,180 --> 00:44:52,390
Might have to clean
that up a bit.
878
00:44:52,390 --> 00:44:55,060
Quite colorful, though.
879
00:44:55,060 --> 00:44:56,560
[LANDAY]
Uh, honey, I think someone...
880
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:58,310
is stealing our New York Times.
881
00:44:58,320 --> 00:44:59,740
[VLATKA] I canceled it.
882
00:44:59,730 --> 00:45:01,650
Why would you do that?
883
00:45:01,650 --> 00:45:02,940
It's propaganda.
884
00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:03,740
I need that for my work.
885
00:45:03,740 --> 00:45:06,580
It's packaging press releases
from the White House...
886
00:45:06,570 --> 00:45:08,740
the State Department, and the
Pentagon.
887
00:45:08,740 --> 00:45:11,740
Sorry, that's not a real
newspaper.
888
00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:19,830
How was your day?
889
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,050
Warren and I met with some
gentleman...
890
00:45:22,050 --> 00:45:24,680
from the intelligence community
who confirmed that...
891
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:26,600
there's no real evidence
to support...
892
00:45:26,590 --> 00:45:31,050
the administration's
claim on WMD.
893
00:45:32,730 --> 00:45:34,690
What have I been telling you?
894
00:45:34,690 --> 00:45:40,700
Well, unfortunately, I can't use
your gut as a reliable source.
895
00:45:44,490 --> 00:45:47,500
You know, this is what they do.
They lie.
896
00:45:47,490 --> 00:45:51,620
Yeah, and we try to hold
them accountable.
897
00:45:53,580 --> 00:45:55,870
I hope l'm wrong. I really,
really do.
898
00:45:55,870 --> 00:45:59,420
But the Bush Administration,
they don't care about the truth.
899
00:45:59,420 --> 00:46:01,960
They don't even respond to your
articles.
900
00:46:01,960 --> 00:46:04,840
If they want a war, they're
gonna get one.
901
00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:08,220
And there's nothing that you
or the first amendment...
902
00:46:08,220 --> 00:46:10,630
is gonna do to stop them.
903
00:46:23,610 --> 00:46:26,360
Extra, extra, read all about it.
904
00:46:30,950 --> 00:46:34,910
"Over the past 14 months, Iraq
has tried to buy thousands...
905
00:46:34,910 --> 00:46:38,410
"of specially design aluminum
tubes, which American...
906
00:46:38,420 --> 00:46:40,550
"officials believe were intended
as components...
907
00:46:40,540 --> 00:46:44,710
"of centrifuges to enrich
uranium."
908
00:46:44,710 --> 00:46:46,710
Well, one thing's for sure.
909
00:46:46,720 --> 00:46:48,140
What's that?
910
00:46:48,130 --> 00:46:51,260
We can't both be right.
911
00:46:54,140 --> 00:46:55,510
Who're you calling?
912
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:56,400
Loose Nukes.
913
00:46:56,390 --> 00:46:58,180
If she wouldn't talk to you
about going into Iraq...
914
00:46:58,190 --> 00:47:00,990
what makes you think she's gonna
go on the record on WMD?
915
00:47:00,980 --> 00:47:05,230
Charm Offensive. Watch and
learn, son.
916
00:47:08,820 --> 00:47:10,900
Landay.
917
00:47:12,570 --> 00:47:15,370
It's Joe Galloway.
Wow.
918
00:47:15,370 --> 00:47:17,660
Man even walks like he has
a Bronze Star.
919
00:47:17,660 --> 00:47:19,080
LOOSE NUKES (OVER PHONE)
Hello.
920
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,750
Oh, hi, yeah, it's Landay.
921
00:47:21,750 --> 00:47:22,670
Hello, Jonathan.
922
00:47:22,670 --> 00:47:28,050
Hi. Crazy weather we're having,
huh?
923
00:47:28,050 --> 00:47:30,210
You're calling me to chat
about the weather?
924
00:47:30,220 --> 00:47:35,190
No, no, yeah. Actually, I wanted
to ask you about WMD.
925
00:47:35,180 --> 00:47:37,140
It'll be deep, deep background.
926
00:47:37,140 --> 00:47:38,640
Goodbye, Jonathan.
927
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:41,060
No wait, don't hang up.
928
00:47:41,060 --> 00:47:45,440
That Charm Offensive...
that's formidable.
929
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,900
Listen, we need you here.
930
00:47:48,900 --> 00:47:52,070
You've developed sources over
the years that have access...
931
00:47:52,070 --> 00:47:55,360
that Landay and Strobel
just can't get.
932
00:47:55,370 --> 00:47:56,920
L'll make it easy on you.
933
00:47:56,910 --> 00:47:57,950
L'll give you a column...
934
00:47:57,950 --> 00:48:02,200
and your name doesn't have to
appear on anything else.
935
00:48:02,210 --> 00:48:04,970
Whatever else you want to write
on the side, you can...
936
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,920
and of course, there won't be
any glory, but--
937
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:10,960
Glory's for young men.
938
00:48:12,800 --> 00:48:14,430
Let me percolate on it.
939
00:48:14,430 --> 00:48:16,840
Let me turn to the issue
of Iraq.
940
00:48:16,850 --> 00:48:19,650
You have said that it poses...
941
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,140
a mortal threat to the
United States.
942
00:48:22,140 --> 00:48:24,640
How? Define "mortal threat."
943
00:48:24,650 --> 00:48:30,410
Well, this'/I take some time,
but it's important for us...
944
00:48:30,400 --> 00:48:31,530
as I mentioned earlier...
945
00:48:31,530 --> 00:48:34,990
to remember that the world
has changed, that prior to--
946
00:48:34,990 --> 00:48:36,610
I'd forgotten the world
had changed.
947
00:48:36,620 --> 00:48:38,330
S0 did I. l'm so happy he
mentioned that.
948
00:48:38,330 --> 00:48:42,050
What, specifically, has he
obtained that you believe...
949
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,750
would enhance his nuclear
development program ?
950
00:48:44,750 --> 00:48:46,790
Well, in the nuclear weapons
arena...
951
00:48:46,790 --> 00:48:49,290
you've got specifically
aluminum tubes.
952
00:48:49,300 --> 00:48:51,260
There 's a story in The New York
Times this morning...
953
00:48:51,260 --> 00:48:54,270
this is and I want to attribute
to The Times.
954
00:48:54,260 --> 00:48:55,970
I don't want to talk about,
obviously...
955
00:48:55,970 --> 00:48:59,260
specific intelligence sources,
but it's now public that...
956
00:48:59,310 --> 00:49:04,280
in fact he has been seeking to
acquire, and we have been...
957
00:49:04,310 --> 00:49:07,520
able to intercept and prevent
him from acquiring...
958
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:08,850
through this particular
channel...
959
00:49:08,900 --> 00:49:11,650
the kinds of tubes that are
necessary...
960
00:49:11,690 --> 00:49:12,570
to build a centrifuge.
961
00:49:12,610 --> 00:49:15,690
And the centrifuge is required
to take low-grade uranium...
962
00:49:15,740 --> 00:49:19,280
and enhance it into highly
enriched uranium...
963
00:49:19,280 --> 00:49:22,080
which is what you have to have
in order to build a bomb.
964
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,750
Lucky for him, someone leaked
that to The Times.
965
00:49:24,750 --> 00:49:28,250
Avoids the pesky nuisance
of being arrested...
966
00:49:28,250 --> 00:49:29,460
for revealing classified
information.
967
00:49:29,460 --> 00:49:32,380
One can only wonder how Judy
Miller and Michael Gordon...
968
00:49:32,380 --> 00:49:33,300
got that information.
969
00:49:33,300 --> 00:49:36,260
Does it bother you, bug you...
970
00:49:36,260 --> 00:49:39,390
that you have not captured
Osama bin Laden in over a year?
971
00:49:39,390 --> 00:49:46,430
I'd like to see him on
television in handcuffs...
972
00:49:46,440 --> 00:49:48,860
ifl can put it
into those terms.
973
00:49:48,860 --> 00:49:50,160
I think all of us would.
974
00:49:50,150 --> 00:49:53,440
But I don 't lay awake at night
concerned about that.
975
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:56,190
There 's one school of thought
that says he's already dead.
976
00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,370
We haven 't heard anything
of him in many months.
977
00:49:58,370 --> 00:49:59,500
[RUSSERT] What do you think?
978
00:49:59,490 --> 00:50:00,910
I don't know, I really
don 't know.
979
00:50:00,910 --> 00:50:02,200
I can argue it round or flat.
980
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:05,330
I didn't know we were still
debating the shape of the earth.
981
00:50:05,330 --> 00:50:08,250
L've got sources on both sides.
982
00:50:08,830 --> 00:50:12,040
But the U. S. military would be
enormously effective...
983
00:50:12,050 --> 00:50:13,050
in this circumstance.
984
00:50:13,050 --> 00:50:16,140
And I don 't think it would be
that tough a fight.
985
00:50:16,130 --> 00:50:17,880
That is, I don 't think there 's
any question...
986
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:20,930
that we would prevail and we
would achieve our objective.
987
00:50:20,930 --> 00:50:23,470
Landay.
988
00:50:23,470 --> 00:50:25,560
Yeah?
989
00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,850
We are right, aren't we?
990
00:50:30,400 --> 00:50:33,070
Everybody, listen up.
991
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:39,070
We're not NBC.
992
00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:41,360
We're not ABC. We're not CBS.
993
00:50:41,370 --> 00:50:45,500
We're not FOX. We're not CNN.
994
00:50:45,660 --> 00:50:47,750
We're not The New York Times.
995
00:50:47,750 --> 00:50:50,750
We're not The Washington Post.
996
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:54,600
We are Knight Ridder.
997
00:50:57,170 --> 00:51:03,510
We have readers who live in
towns with military bases.
998
00:51:03,510 --> 00:51:07,010
Fort Benning, Fort Bragg,
Fort Jackson...
999
00:51:07,020 --> 00:51:13,410
and over 4O other military bases
throughout this country.
1000
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:18,400
If every other news organization
wants to be stenographers...
1001
00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,700
for the Bush administration,
let them.
1002
00:51:23,330 --> 00:51:28,880
We don't write for people who
send other people's kids to war.
1003
00:51:29,540 --> 00:51:35,290
We write for people
whose kids get sent to war.
1004
00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,300
So, when the government
says something...
1005
00:51:39,300 --> 00:51:43,090
you only have one question
to ask.
1006
00:51:45,890 --> 00:51:48,390
Is it true?
1007
00:51:53,770 --> 00:51:56,520
L'm through percolating.
1008
00:51:58,860 --> 00:51:59,940
Let's get to work.
1009
00:51:59,950 --> 00:52:02,790
Administration officials spanned
out on the Sunday talk shows...
1010
00:52:02,780 --> 00:52:04,740
to make the case for an invasion
of Iraq.
1011
00:52:04,740 --> 00:52:08,280
Who else is involved in
The Office of Special Planning?
1012
00:52:08,290 --> 00:52:11,260
Wolfowitz, Feith, couple others.
1013
00:52:11,250 --> 00:52:13,620
Instead of listening to people
who have spent their careers...
1014
00:52:13,630 --> 00:52:17,760
evaluating threats, they're
streaming questionable intel...
1015
00:52:17,750 --> 00:52:20,050
from unreliable sources and
taking it...
1016
00:52:20,050 --> 00:52:21,130
directly to the White House.
1017
00:52:21,130 --> 00:52:23,380
George Tenet, Director
of Central Intelligence...
1018
00:52:23,390 --> 00:52:26,310
told Senators, he could not
rule out cooperation...
1019
00:52:26,300 --> 00:52:28,800
between Osama bin Laden
and Al Qaeda.
1020
00:52:30,140 --> 00:52:32,270
l've seen the specs on those
aluminum tubes.
1021
00:52:32,270 --> 00:52:35,100
They're too small to be used
for enriching uranium.
1022
00:52:35,110 --> 00:52:35,950
What does that mean?
1023
00:52:35,940 --> 00:52:37,520
They can't be used
for a nuclear bomb.
1024
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,270
[REPORTER] The President
of the United States...
1025
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:41,330
said we're not going to permit
nations to develop...
1026
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:42,440
weapons of mass destruction...
1027
00:52:42,450 --> 00:52:44,580
as they're gonna supply those
weapons to a network...
1028
00:52:44,570 --> 00:52:46,450
of terrorism that could attack
the United States.
1029
00:52:46,450 --> 00:52:49,160
Cheney is trying to shut
out Powell.
1030
00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:51,030
Where'd you get this stuff?
1031
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:51,800
Old friend.
1032
00:52:51,790 --> 00:52:53,870
[REPORTER] We 're starting to
see a consensus from within...
1033
00:52:53,870 --> 00:52:55,960
the administration for the
removal of Saddam Hussein.
1034
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:57,710
[COMMENTA TOR] The
administration has pointed...
1035
00:52:57,710 --> 00:53:00,670
to a secret meeting in Prague
between Iraqi intelligence...
1036
00:53:00,670 --> 00:53:02,090
and 9/11 hijacker,
Mohamed Atta.
1037
00:53:02,090 --> 00:53:04,260
Bush administration is pressing
the United Nations...
1038
00:53:04,260 --> 00:53:06,840
Security Council for
a resolution...
1039
00:53:06,850 --> 00:53:07,900
to put pressure on Iraq.
1040
00:53:07,890 --> 00:53:09,800
President Bush will address
the United Nations today...
1041
00:53:09,810 --> 00:53:13,110
in hopes of putting together
a multi-national coalition...
1042
00:53:13,100 --> 00:53:14,180
to disarm Saddam Hussein.
1043
00:53:14,190 --> 00:53:17,030
The White House is lobbying
Congress to authorize...
1044
00:53:17,020 --> 00:53:18,520
the use of force in Iraq.
1045
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:21,230
The minute these guys get
their hands on anything...
1046
00:53:21,230 --> 00:53:22,480
remotely resembling evidence...
1047
00:53:22,490 --> 00:53:24,200
they leak it to
The New York Times.
1048
00:53:24,200 --> 00:53:26,160
Now, I understand the position
you're in...
1049
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,870
but please don't hang up on me.
1050
00:53:28,870 --> 00:53:29,960
[LOOSE NUKES] Okay.
1051
00:53:29,950 --> 00:53:33,370
Okay, the vice president
of the United States...
1052
00:53:33,370 --> 00:53:36,750
went to the V.F.W. and said that
Saddam Hussein...
1053
00:53:36,750 --> 00:53:40,130
is on the threshold of
developing a nuclear weapon.
1054
00:53:40,130 --> 00:53:42,960
Then he goes on national
television...
1055
00:53:42,960 --> 00:53:44,460
and says the same thing.
1056
00:53:44,470 --> 00:53:47,680
Your question ?
1057
00:53:47,680 --> 00:53:50,150
Ask the question.
1058
00:53:50,140 --> 00:53:53,140
What I want to know is,
is Dick Cheney ignoring...
1059
00:53:53,140 --> 00:53:56,100
good intelligence that
contradicts his assumptions...
1060
00:53:56,100 --> 00:54:00,440
or is he just getting bad
intelligence?
1061
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:04,860
The vice president is lying.
1062
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:07,790
Thank you, thank you so much.
1063
00:54:07,780 --> 00:54:10,700
What? What, what, what?
What'd she say?
1064
00:54:10,700 --> 00:54:11,870
He's lying.
1065
00:54:11,870 --> 00:54:13,870
He's lying.
Cheney is lying.
1066
00:54:13,870 --> 00:54:15,990
Cheney's lying!
Cheney's lying!
1067
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,220
He's lying! John!
He's lying!
1068
00:54:19,210 --> 00:54:21,040
John!
1069
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:22,380
Where the hell is he?
1070
00:54:22,380 --> 00:54:23,540
Here we go. Here we go.
1071
00:54:23,550 --> 00:54:25,930
He's lying-
He's lying-
1072
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:27,710
Cheney's lying-
1073
00:54:27,720 --> 00:54:29,560
Where did this come from?
1074
00:54:29,550 --> 00:54:31,220
Loose Nukes.
1075
00:54:31,220 --> 00:54:31,760
Okay.
1076
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:34,260
Now, we know what's being talk
about, we got to get inside...
1077
00:54:34,270 --> 00:54:38,360
those meetings and find out if
there's a dissenting opinion.
1078
00:54:38,350 --> 00:54:40,190
I may have a guy.
1079
00:54:40,190 --> 00:54:41,650
Anybody we know?
1080
00:54:41,650 --> 00:54:43,810
The Usual Suspect.
1081
00:54:53,620 --> 00:54:55,700
You didn't want to do
this in a parking garage?
1082
00:54:55,750 --> 00:54:58,800
If there was one that served
Pad Thai, I would.
1083
00:54:58,790 --> 00:55:00,870
How's civilian life?
1084
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:03,760
My retirement lasted about
four hours.
1085
00:55:03,750 --> 00:55:04,750
You're with Knight Ridder?
1086
00:55:04,800 --> 00:55:08,140
I don't even have a desk yet.
How the hell do you know that?
1087
00:55:08,170 --> 00:55:08,840
I have my ways.
1088
00:55:08,840 --> 00:55:11,680
You been following what we're
doing over there?
1089
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:13,050
Yes, I have.
1090
00:55:13,100 --> 00:55:13,600
And?
1091
00:55:13,600 --> 00:55:15,440
You two may be singlehandedly
saving...
1092
00:55:15,430 --> 00:55:17,970
the Fourth Estate from
extinction.
1093
00:55:17,980 --> 00:55:21,240
Mainstream media hasn't picked
up a thing we been running.
1094
00:55:21,230 --> 00:55:23,150
Should be all the confirmation
you need...
1095
00:55:23,150 --> 00:55:25,360
that you're onto something.
1096
00:55:27,610 --> 00:55:29,690
What can I do for you?
1097
00:55:29,700 --> 00:55:32,460
We need some help with the
higher ups.
1098
00:55:32,450 --> 00:55:33,240
How high?
1099
00:55:33,240 --> 00:55:34,490
High as you can get us.
1100
00:55:34,490 --> 00:55:35,820
You've been around a long time,
Joe.
1101
00:55:35,830 --> 00:55:38,380
I doubt there's anything there
that'll surprise you.
1102
00:55:38,370 --> 00:55:40,160
I was married one time
to a woman who thought...
1103
00:55:40,170 --> 00:55:42,260
New Hampshire was the capital
of Massachusetts.
1104
00:55:42,250 --> 00:55:45,920
There's always something you
don't see coming.
1105
00:55:45,920 --> 00:55:48,590
What do you want to know?
1106
00:55:48,590 --> 00:55:52,010
Everything the administration
doesn't want us to know.
1107
00:55:52,010 --> 00:55:56,600
You and I are going to be eating
a lot of Pad Thai.
1108
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,520
What kind of time frame
are we looking at?
1109
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:03,890
Next month, Congress
is scheduled to vote...
1110
00:56:03,900 --> 00:56:05,660
on whether or not to give
the president...
1111
00:56:05,650 --> 00:56:07,400
the authorization to go to war.
1112
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:08,270
Are the votes there?
1113
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:09,410
The administration thinks so.
1114
00:56:09,400 --> 00:56:15,320
Mr. President, 38 years ago,
I, Robert C. Byrd...
1115
00:56:15,330 --> 00:56:18,290
voted on the Tonkin Gulf
Resolution.
1116
00:56:18,290 --> 00:56:22,630
The resolution that authorized
the president to use military...
1117
00:56:22,620 --> 00:56:23,960
force to repel armed attacks...
1118
00:56:23,960 --> 00:56:28,210
and to prevent further communist
aggression in Southeast Asia.
1119
00:56:28,210 --> 00:56:32,130
A joint resolution to authorize
the use of United States...
1120
00:56:32,130 --> 00:56:35,970
armed forces against Iraq should
be brought to a close.
1121
00:56:35,970 --> 00:56:38,430
The clerk will call the roll.
1122
00:56:38,430 --> 00:56:40,720
[CLERK] Mr. Biden, aye.
1123
00:56:40,730 --> 00:56:41,980
Mrs. Clinton, aye.
1124
00:56:41,980 --> 00:56:44,570
It was this resolution that
provided the basis...
1125
00:56:44,560 --> 00:56:49,060
for American involvement
in the war in Vietnam.
1126
00:56:49,070 --> 00:56:51,370
Mr. Kerry, aye.
1127
00:56:51,360 --> 00:56:53,780
Mr. Lieberman, aye.
1128
00:56:53,780 --> 00:56:55,450
Mr. Lott, aye.
1129
00:56:55,450 --> 00:56:56,990
It was this resolution...
1130
00:56:56,990 --> 00:57:02,580
that lead to the deaths
of 58,000 Americans.
1131
00:57:02,580 --> 00:57:04,910
Mr. McCain, aye.
1132
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:06,220
Mr. McConnell, aye.
1133
00:57:06,210 --> 00:57:11,710
After all that carnage, we began
to learn that in voting...
1134
00:57:11,720 --> 00:57:13,770
for the Tonkin Gulf
resolution...
1135
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:17,260
we were basing our votes
on bad information.
1136
00:57:17,260 --> 00:57:19,760
And history is repeating itself.
1137
00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,180
Mr. Santorum, aye.
1138
00:57:21,180 --> 00:57:24,850
I urge senators to go down
on the Capital Mall...
1139
00:57:24,850 --> 00:57:27,020
and look at the Vietnam
Memorial.
1140
00:57:27,020 --> 00:57:30,860
Nearly every day, you will find
someone at that wall...
1141
00:57:30,860 --> 00:57:32,980
weeping for a loved one.
1142
00:57:32,990 --> 00:57:34,370
Mr. Sessions, aye.
1143
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,740
I will always remember the words
of Senator Wayne Morse.
1144
00:57:37,740 --> 00:57:39,410
Mr. Specter, aye.
1145
00:57:39,410 --> 00:57:41,870
He stated, "The resolution will
pass and senators...
1146
00:57:41,870 --> 00:57:45,080
"who vote for it will live
to regret it."
1147
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,040
We got K-10, we got Dixie,
we don't need another source.
1148
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:48,920
You know we got this.
1149
00:57:48,920 --> 00:57:51,250
Look, when you're accusing the
secretary of defense...
1150
00:57:51,250 --> 00:57:52,670
of running a shadow
intelligence unit...
1151
00:57:52,670 --> 00:57:55,880
out of the Pentagon, it's nice
to have a little insurance.
1152
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,380
That's all l'm saying.
1153
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:03,940
All right, let's share it
with the rest of the class.
1154
00:58:03,930 --> 00:58:04,970
You want to tell them?
1155
00:58:04,980 --> 00:58:09,490
Earlier today, I was summoned
to the Pentagon.
1156
00:58:09,480 --> 00:58:09,980
By Whom?
1157
00:58:09,980 --> 00:58:13,110
Rumsfeld, OI' Limp Dick
sent a message saying...
1158
00:58:13,110 --> 00:58:14,980
"All your sources are retired
generals."
1159
00:58:14,990 --> 00:58:16,790
And I said, "All due respect,
sir...
1160
00:58:16,780 --> 00:58:19,570
"80% of my sources are
active military."
1161
00:58:19,570 --> 00:58:21,200
"Some of them are working
in this building...
1162
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:23,370
"and some of them are actually
working on your staff."
1163
00:58:23,370 --> 00:58:26,660
"And hell, one or two of them
might even be in this room."
1164
00:58:26,660 --> 00:58:28,660
Did you actually have sources
in the room?
1165
00:58:28,670 --> 00:58:33,350
No, but it was fun watching him
sweat like whores in church.
1166
00:58:34,420 --> 00:58:37,050
How close are we to getting
something we can run with
1167
00:58:37,050 --> 00:58:38,720
on the Office of Special Plans?
1168
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:39,590
Well, we already g0t--
1169
00:58:39,590 --> 00:58:42,430
No, we're just gonna check
with a couple more sources.
1170
00:58:42,430 --> 00:58:44,850
What's wrong with the sources
you have?
1171
00:58:44,850 --> 00:58:46,810
Well, we just want to be
certain.
1172
00:58:46,810 --> 00:58:50,230
You know, you sit on a story
like this, the dam bursts.
1173
00:58:50,230 --> 00:58:53,230
Let's just move on this,
okay, boys?
1174
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:57,620
When are you gonna be finished?
1175
00:58:57,610 --> 00:59:02,530
Just a few more minutes, baby.
1176
00:59:03,790 --> 00:59:08,130
I can't sleep with the computer
light on.
1177
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:11,500
Actually, l'm done.
1178
00:59:14,960 --> 00:59:17,710
So, what are you working on?
1179
00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:20,600
Rumsfeld has a secret Intel
group that's going...
1180
00:59:20,590 --> 00:59:27,010
around the CIA to manufacture
a case for war.
1181
00:59:30,810 --> 00:59:33,310
What the fuck, Jonathan?
1182
00:59:33,310 --> 00:59:34,100
What?
1183
00:59:34,110 --> 00:59:37,330
Have you been talking about this
on the phone?
1184
00:59:39,030 --> 00:59:40,400
Yeah, of course.
1185
00:59:40,410 --> 00:59:42,790
So, what?
1186
00:59:44,490 --> 00:59:47,990
They will hear you.
Vlatka.
1187
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,590
You're writing about infighting
between spy agencies.
1188
00:59:51,580 --> 00:59:52,120
So?
1189
00:59:52,130 --> 00:59:54,180
They're spy agencies, Jonathan.
1190
00:59:54,170 --> 00:59:57,290
They listen to your calls,
they read your emails.
1191
00:59:57,300 --> 00:59:59,350
They probably bugged this house.
1192
00:59:59,340 --> 01:00:01,340
You're being paranoid.
1193
01:00:01,340 --> 01:00:02,260
You're being naive.
1194
01:00:02,260 --> 01:00:06,140
This isn't Yugoslavia,
this is America.
1195
01:00:06,140 --> 01:00:08,310
America has changed.
1196
01:00:08,310 --> 01:00:09,350
War is big business for them.
1197
01:00:09,350 --> 01:00:11,930
You get in their way,
they're gonna kill you.
1198
01:00:11,940 --> 01:00:17,200
Honey, you are being ridiculous.
All right? Come on.
1199
01:00:17,190 --> 01:00:20,030
Don't you get it?
1200
01:00:20,030 --> 01:00:23,400
You know what these people
are capable of?
1201
01:00:23,410 --> 01:00:26,290
You have a family!
1202
01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:30,370
Vlatka. Vlatka!
1203
01:00:33,500 --> 01:00:38,670
Oh, somebody's struggling.
What's the matter?
1204
01:00:38,670 --> 01:00:42,380
Oh, Vlatka kept me up all night.
1205
01:00:42,380 --> 01:00:43,010
All right!
1206
01:00:43,010 --> 01:00:47,760
No, not that like that. It was
conspiracy theories.
1207
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:48,430
About what?
1208
01:00:48,430 --> 01:00:52,310
Oh... she thinks the government
is monitoring us.
1209
01:00:52,310 --> 01:00:56,390
I mean, it's ridiculous.
1210
01:00:57,900 --> 01:00:59,980
Check your email.
1211
01:01:11,290 --> 01:01:13,300
John, you got to see this.
1212
01:01:13,290 --> 01:01:14,540
Oh, hold on a second.
1213
01:01:14,540 --> 01:01:19,580
Arthur, I really don't want to
have this conversation again.
1214
01:01:21,050 --> 01:01:25,060
He hung up. What is it?
1215
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:33,720
What do we do?
1216
01:01:51,160 --> 01:01:53,410
You're such a wuss.
You're a wuss.
1217
01:01:53,410 --> 01:01:54,740
You're a much bigger wuss.
1218
01:01:54,750 --> 01:01:56,970
Shut up, will you stop it,
you're being a child.
1219
01:01:56,960 --> 01:01:58,290
You're being a--
Shut up!
1220
01:01:58,290 --> 01:02:01,290
[REPORTER] Today's UN Security
Council resolution
1221
01:02:01,300 --> 01:02:05,270
can be boiled down to four
words, the clock is ticking.
1222
01:02:05,260 --> 01:02:09,510
Iraq's only alternative to full
compliance, President Bush...
1223
01:02:09,510 --> 01:02:12,430
made clear today, is
of military confrontation.
1224
01:02:12,430 --> 01:02:16,350
[BUSH] The full disarmament of
weapons of mass destruction...
1225
01:02:16,350 --> 01:02:17,390
by Iraq will occur.
1226
01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:24,580
The only question for the Iraqi
regime is to decide how.
1227
01:02:35,790 --> 01:02:37,290
Son of a bitch.
1228
01:02:37,290 --> 01:02:37,910
They beat us.
1229
01:02:37,920 --> 01:02:40,340
But they missed the whole point
of why the unit was set up.
1230
01:02:40,340 --> 01:02:42,510
It doesn't matter, they got
the scoop.
1231
01:02:42,500 --> 01:02:43,130
With What?
1232
01:02:43,130 --> 01:02:45,170
There's nothing about
cherry picking intelligence.
1233
01:02:45,170 --> 01:02:48,050
There's nothing about bypassing
other agencies.
1234
01:02:48,050 --> 01:02:49,130
We can still run ours.
1235
01:02:49,140 --> 01:02:50,440
John, no one's gonna pay
attention...
1236
01:02:50,430 --> 01:02:53,930
to a second story explaining
all that.
1237
01:02:53,930 --> 01:02:54,800
We had it.
1238
01:02:54,810 --> 01:02:57,190
Goddamn it, Walcott's gonna be
pissed.
1239
01:02:57,190 --> 01:03:00,400
Maybe he hadn't seen it yet.
1240
01:03:12,450 --> 01:03:15,530
How is it possible he hasn't
talked to us all day?
1241
01:03:15,540 --> 01:03:19,420
He's giving us the silent
treatment.
1242
01:03:21,710 --> 01:03:23,830
Oh, shit, here he comes.
1243
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,640
Oh, Jesus.
1244
01:03:31,260 --> 01:03:33,930
You had the story.
1245
01:03:34,220 --> 01:03:37,640
Don't ever forget how
it feels to get beat.
1246
01:03:40,770 --> 01:03:43,060
The only information Congress
is getting...
1247
01:03:43,060 --> 01:03:45,150
is coming directly from the
administration.
1248
01:03:45,150 --> 01:03:47,980
Iraq is a huge country about
the size of France...
1249
01:03:47,990 --> 01:03:50,200
if they want to hide their
weapons of mass destruction...
1250
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:51,700
they're going to be able
to do so.
1251
01:03:51,700 --> 01:03:54,420
They're not going to rethink
their positions...
1252
01:03:54,410 --> 01:03:56,530
unless they are provided
with independent intel.
1253
01:03:56,540 --> 01:03:59,630
No one who's supported the
authorization for war...
1254
01:03:59,620 --> 01:04:03,120
in Congress, in Iraq, not the
president...
1255
01:04:03,130 --> 01:04:06,970
I am sure would go to war just
because he wants to go to war.
1256
01:04:06,960 --> 01:04:10,460
Rumsfeld's been trying to sell
this idea that an Iraqi...
1257
01:04:10,470 --> 01:04:15,730
intelligence officer offered
bin Laden safe haven in '99.
1258
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:16,260
Yeah.
1259
01:04:16,260 --> 01:04:18,510
Well, if that offer actually
had happened...
1260
01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:21,900
bin Laden would have told Saddam
to go fuck himself.
1261
01:04:21,890 --> 01:04:23,560
What do you make of the
statement made...
1262
01:04:23,560 --> 01:04:26,270
by the Iraqi government that
Iraq has no weapons...
1263
01:04:26,270 --> 01:04:29,320
of mass destruction
and is not developing?
1264
01:04:29,320 --> 01:04:31,730
They're lying.
1265
01:04:33,110 --> 01:04:34,280
Next.
1266
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:35,360
Your daughter is lovely.
1267
01:04:35,370 --> 01:04:37,330
Well, I wish I could take
credit.
1268
01:04:37,330 --> 01:04:38,790
She gets it from her mother.
1269
01:04:38,790 --> 01:04:39,960
Dad, can I get you
anything?
1270
01:04:39,950 --> 01:04:41,910
Oh, no, thanks, sweetie.
Mr. Strobel?
1271
01:04:41,910 --> 01:04:44,620
I'm fine.
All right.
1272
01:04:47,170 --> 01:04:47,960
Just real casual.
1273
01:04:47,960 --> 01:04:50,670
Tom and I were just talking
about your latest article.
1274
01:04:50,670 --> 01:04:51,300
Oh, yeah?
1275
01:04:51,300 --> 01:04:52,800
Seems like you don't trust
politicians.
1276
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:56,090
Well, that's a pretty solid
rule ofjournalism.
1277
01:04:56,100 --> 01:04:58,310
Even when they're talking
about war?
1278
01:04:58,310 --> 01:05:00,520
Especially when they're talking
about war.
1279
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:03,030
You really believe there's
no WMD?
1280
01:05:03,020 --> 01:05:04,640
Our names are on the article.
1281
01:05:04,650 --> 01:05:06,860
They don't say that
there's no WMD.
1282
01:05:06,860 --> 01:05:08,410
They just said that the
administration...
1283
01:05:08,400 --> 01:05:09,520
hasn't offered any proof of WMD.
1284
01:05:09,530 --> 01:05:12,410
And you don't think
they'll find any?
1285
01:05:12,400 --> 01:05:15,200
No, I don't.
1286
01:05:15,200 --> 01:05:16,530
You don't know that.
1287
01:05:16,530 --> 01:05:17,320
No, we don't.
1288
01:05:17,330 --> 01:05:19,830
But before we send our kids
to their possible deaths...
1289
01:05:19,830 --> 01:05:21,290
don't you think the
administration...
1290
01:05:21,290 --> 01:05:23,250
has an obligation to provide
proof of their rationale?
1291
01:05:23,250 --> 01:05:26,510
What if that proof comes in the
form of a mushroom cloud?
1292
01:05:26,500 --> 01:05:29,540
Okay, you've been watching
Fox News again?
1293
01:05:29,550 --> 01:05:32,760
Rice, Cheney, and President Bush
have all said the same thing.
1294
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:34,430
Oh, well, then it must be true.
1295
01:05:34,430 --> 01:05:36,390
You kids are too young
to remember...
1296
01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:38,690
how close we came to nuclear war
in '62.
1297
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:40,390
Hell, Warren, you were born
the very day...
1298
01:05:40,390 --> 01:05:43,560
President Kennedy ordered the
blockade against Cuba.
1299
01:05:43,560 --> 01:05:47,270
The most powerful enemy we knew
was gonna put nuclear weapons...
1300
01:05:47,270 --> 01:05:48,940
90 miles off our coast.
1301
01:05:48,940 --> 01:05:50,230
The president had to demonstrate
strength.
1302
01:05:50,230 --> 01:05:54,650
And the next day, Kennedy sent
Adlai Stevenson to the U.N...
1303
01:05:54,650 --> 01:05:57,900
to offer proof that the missiles
existed.
1304
01:05:58,370 --> 01:05:59,290
It's notjust Fox News.
1305
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:02,870
It's the Washington Post.
lt's The New York Times.
1306
01:06:02,870 --> 01:06:06,290
Hell, proof is coming from every
major media outlet...
1307
01:06:06,290 --> 01:06:10,080
in the country, except yours.
1308
01:06:11,090 --> 01:06:11,720
Okay.
1309
01:06:11,710 --> 01:06:18,720
Uh, I think I forgot the
hamburger buns, excuse me.
1310
01:06:19,430 --> 01:06:23,140
I'm going to grab a beer.
1311
01:06:25,100 --> 01:06:27,350
Jesus, Dad.
1312
01:06:37,860 --> 01:06:39,360
Are you okay, bro?
1313
01:06:39,370 --> 01:06:41,290
Yeah.
1314
01:06:42,540 --> 01:06:45,960
Are we good reporters?
1315
01:06:45,960 --> 01:06:46,630
What?
1316
01:06:46,620 --> 01:06:49,210
I mean, are we doing anything...
1317
01:06:49,250 --> 01:06:50,670
other than practicing good
journalism?
1318
01:06:50,670 --> 01:06:53,000
No, we're doing exactly what
we're supposed--
1319
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,880
Then, why the fuck are we
the only ones...
1320
01:06:55,880 --> 01:06:58,970
running these fucking stories?!
1321
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:07,980
He just wanted you to see
all sides to him...
1322
01:07:08,020 --> 01:07:10,810
before you take it to the
next level.
1323
01:07:14,780 --> 01:07:16,660
Almost three months ago,
the United Nations...
1324
01:07:16,650 --> 01:07:19,280
Security Council gave
Saddam Hussein...
1325
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:22,070
his final chance to disarm.
1326
01:07:22,070 --> 01:07:23,620
Our intelligence officials
estimate...
1327
01:07:23,620 --> 01:07:25,370
that Saddam Hussein had the
materials to produce...
1328
01:07:25,370 --> 01:07:28,330
What's the point of having
U.N. weapons inspections...
1329
01:07:28,330 --> 01:07:30,910
if Bush and Cheney are just
going to ignore the results?
1330
01:07:30,920 --> 01:07:34,220
Well, when you're creating
your own reality...
1331
01:07:34,210 --> 01:07:36,040
it's pretty easy to ignore
the facts.
1332
01:07:36,050 --> 01:07:38,600
And so what? Due diligence is
too inconvenient...
1333
01:07:38,590 --> 01:07:41,380
for the mainstream media
at this point?
1334
01:07:41,390 --> 01:07:43,480
When news is a profit center--
1335
01:07:43,470 --> 01:07:45,510
Access becomes currency.
1336
01:07:45,510 --> 01:07:47,060
Exactly.
1337
01:07:47,890 --> 01:07:49,640
L'm proud of you, John.
1338
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:50,430
Why?
1339
01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:53,990
For not wavering.
1340
01:07:53,980 --> 01:07:55,440
It's got to be tough.
1341
01:07:55,440 --> 01:07:56,400
It's not that tough.
1342
01:07:56,400 --> 01:08:01,780
I know who their sources are and
I know who our sources are.
1343
01:08:01,780 --> 01:08:05,070
"Iraqi Dissidents Reassured
in a Talk with Bush...
1344
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:07,540
"About the Post-Hussein Era."
1345
01:08:07,540 --> 01:08:08,340
By Judith Miller.
1346
01:08:08,330 --> 01:08:11,000
She'd quote a carnival
fortune teller...
1347
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,500
if he was willing to say
Iraq had WMD.
1348
01:08:13,500 --> 01:08:16,330
We gotta dig into the
declassified...
1349
01:08:16,340 --> 01:08:17,640
national intelligence
estimate...
1350
01:08:17,630 --> 01:08:20,920
and find out if there are any
gems in there.
1351
01:08:20,930 --> 01:08:21,850
Yeah, l'd love to see...
1352
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:23,720
what they redacted from the
classified version.
1353
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:25,970
[WALCOTT] Oh, what's going
on with Chalabi?
1354
01:08:25,970 --> 01:08:26,760
We're on it.
1355
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:28,470
L'm gonna keep an eye
on my old boss.
1356
01:08:28,470 --> 01:08:29,600
I got a feeling.
Yeah...
1357
01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:34,140
Colin may be the last person
standing between peace and war.
1358
01:08:34,150 --> 01:08:36,450
Yeah.
1359
01:08:44,370 --> 01:08:46,750
Goddamn it!
1360
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:53,670
Fuck!
1361
01:08:57,800 --> 01:09:00,050
[ARTHUR] Angela, did the mayor
set a date...
1362
01:09:00,050 --> 01:09:00,930
for the fundraiser yet?
1363
01:09:00,920 --> 01:09:03,720
Hey, Arthur, I was totally
wrong.
1364
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,510
Your head isn't literally
up your ass.
1365
01:09:06,510 --> 01:09:09,470
It's always a pleasure to see
you, John...
1366
01:09:09,470 --> 01:09:11,680
but would you please wait
outside?
1367
01:09:11,680 --> 01:09:14,270
You know, it's bad enough you're
ignoring all our work...
1368
01:09:14,270 --> 01:09:16,890
but the fact that you're running
these bullshit...
1369
01:09:16,900 --> 01:09:20,490
Judy Miller pieces is
unconscionable.
1370
01:09:20,480 --> 01:09:21,770
Not in here, John.
Okay, please?
1371
01:09:21,780 --> 01:09:25,910
Let's take it in my office.
Excuse me.
1372
01:09:25,910 --> 01:09:27,040
Jesus.
1373
01:09:27,030 --> 01:09:29,950
Look, as painful as this
might seem...
1374
01:09:29,950 --> 01:09:31,030
I don't answer to you, John.
1375
01:09:31,040 --> 01:09:33,590
Yes, as evidenced by the fact
that you still have a job.
1376
01:09:33,580 --> 01:09:35,830
You know what, my responsibility
is to my readers.
1377
01:09:35,830 --> 01:09:37,170
They're citizens who are
patriots...
1378
01:09:37,170 --> 01:09:39,540
they're citizens who support
our troops.
1379
01:09:39,550 --> 01:09:41,350
And how do you do that, Arthur?
1380
01:09:41,340 --> 01:09:44,050
By going down on
The New York Times?
1381
01:09:44,050 --> 01:09:46,090
I don't have time for this.
1382
01:09:46,090 --> 01:09:47,630
No, you don't have time.
1383
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:48,640
You don't have time.
1384
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,150
You know, one day,
The New York Times...
1385
01:09:50,140 --> 01:09:51,640
is going to apologize
to its readers.
1386
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:55,640
And when that day comes, are you
gonna write your own apology?
1387
01:09:55,640 --> 01:09:58,600
Or are you just going to run
theirs?
1388
01:09:58,610 --> 01:10:01,280
Have a nice day, John.
1389
01:10:02,110 --> 01:10:04,690
It is beginning to look more
and more as though...
1390
01:10:04,700 --> 01:10:06,500
war with Iraq is inevitable.
1391
01:10:06,490 --> 01:10:09,660
The Showdown with Iraq and the
countdown to a speech...
1392
01:10:09,660 --> 01:10:11,820
by Secretary of State
Co/in Powell...
1393
01:10:11,830 --> 01:10:13,710
that could move the world
closer to war.
1394
01:10:13,700 --> 01:10:16,290
There 's not much left for the
soldiers to do but wait...
1395
01:10:16,290 --> 01:10:20,420
for orders to attack, Ryan
Chillcoat reports...
1396
01:10:20,420 --> 01:10:22,880
That's so frustrating.
1397
01:10:22,880 --> 01:10:26,170
I don't know that I could
do what you do.
1398
01:10:27,260 --> 01:10:28,470
You know, I once got it
in my head...
1399
01:10:28,470 --> 01:10:30,340
that I should hike the
Appalachian Trail.
1400
01:10:30,350 --> 01:10:32,560
Thought that it would just be a
good challenge for myself.
1401
01:10:32,560 --> 01:10:37,650
Then I look at it on a map
and it's like 2200 miles.
1402
01:10:39,270 --> 01:10:40,730
I realized...
1403
01:10:40,730 --> 01:10:42,940
That it would take a lifetime?
1404
01:10:42,940 --> 01:10:45,070
Yeah.
1405
01:10:47,700 --> 01:10:50,210
Or we could walk it together.
1406
01:10:51,330 --> 01:10:55,090
L'm gonna hold you to that.
1407
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:56,620
[REPORTER] Worldwide resistance
is mounting...
1408
01:10:56,620 --> 01:11:00,410
against America 's military
intervention into Iraq.
1409
01:11:00,420 --> 01:11:03,300
From US cities to Europe and
the Middle East...
1410
01:11:03,300 --> 01:11:06,600
demonstrators have taken to the
streets in opposition...
1411
01:11:06,590 --> 01:11:11,180
to the United States'
threat to invade Iraq.
1412
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:19,770
Mr. Strobel, Mr. Landay,
how do you do?
1413
01:11:19,770 --> 01:11:21,190
Hello.
I'm Entifadh Qanbar.
1414
01:11:21,190 --> 01:11:23,810
Hi.
Now, please, follow me.
1415
01:11:24,690 --> 01:11:25,440
Who's this dude?
1416
01:11:25,440 --> 01:11:30,280
Guy who used to deliver pizzas.
l'm not kidding.
1417
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:31,950
Minister Chalabi,
Mr. Jonathan Landay...
1418
01:11:31,950 --> 01:11:36,280
and Warren Strobel from Knight
Ridder News.
1419
01:11:36,290 --> 01:11:37,840
Gentlemen, welcome.
1420
01:11:37,830 --> 01:11:42,290
Hey. Thank you for finally
agreeing to meet with us.
1421
01:11:42,290 --> 01:11:44,790
I've been very busy.
1422
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:46,510
Talking to our competitors.
1423
01:11:46,510 --> 01:11:49,100
I speak with whomever wishes
to speak with me.
1424
01:11:49,090 --> 01:11:51,380
After all, I have nothing
to hide...
1425
01:11:51,390 --> 01:11:55,350
which is more than I can say
for Saddam.
1426
01:11:55,350 --> 01:11:57,270
Okay, well, since you brought
him up...
1427
01:11:57,270 --> 01:11:58,480
I thought we might talk
about what...
1428
01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:00,820
you know about his weapons
and how he might be hiding them.
1429
01:12:00,810 --> 01:12:06,650
He has WMD and he's hiding them,
that I know.
1430
01:12:06,650 --> 01:12:08,650
Right, and you know that how?
1431
01:12:08,650 --> 01:12:11,690
I know everything that's
happening in my country.
1432
01:12:11,700 --> 01:12:15,330
Even though Iraq hasn't been
your country for over a decade?
1433
01:12:15,330 --> 01:12:19,920
I may be an exile, but I'm still
an Iraqi.
1434
01:12:19,910 --> 01:12:22,370
Well, I think the point my
colleague is trying to make...
1435
01:12:22,370 --> 01:12:25,750
is how would you, an enemy
of Saddam, in exile...
1436
01:12:25,750 --> 01:12:29,380
have access to such valuable
information?
1437
01:12:29,380 --> 01:12:31,170
I maintain close
relationships...
1438
01:12:31,180 --> 01:12:33,430
with dissident intelligence
sources.
1439
01:12:33,430 --> 01:12:35,810
Is there a way we can
verify that?
1440
01:12:35,800 --> 01:12:36,510
No.
1441
01:12:36,510 --> 01:12:38,800
See, that's kind of a problem
for us...
1442
01:12:38,810 --> 01:12:39,940
because we can't write a story--
1443
01:12:39,930 --> 01:12:46,480
I want what America wants,
a free and democratic Iraq.
1444
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:47,730
With you as its leader?
1445
01:12:47,780 --> 01:12:51,240
If the people of Iraq wish
for me to return, yes.
1446
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:55,620
I want the opportunity to help
rebuild my country...
1447
01:12:55,620 --> 01:12:57,960
the way Mandela did
in South Africa.
1448
01:12:57,990 --> 01:13:02,830
But Mandela didn't ask the U.S.
to invade his country.
1449
01:13:02,870 --> 01:13:05,370
He wasn't fighting terrorists.
1450
01:13:05,380 --> 01:13:08,550
With all due respect, that's
where the red flags...
1451
01:13:08,550 --> 01:13:09,390
start to go up for us.
1452
01:13:09,420 --> 01:13:13,010
Are you implying that l've
created a false narrative...
1453
01:13:13,010 --> 01:13:13,840
for my own pursuits?
1454
01:13:13,840 --> 01:13:17,130
Is there another reason why
you'd create a false narrative?
1455
01:13:17,140 --> 01:13:19,360
I don't lie!
1456
01:13:19,350 --> 01:13:22,520
Saddam Hussein has mobile
chemical...
1457
01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:23,890
and biological weapons labs.
1458
01:13:23,890 --> 01:13:28,020
He has a nuclear program.
He has ties to terrorists.
1459
01:13:28,020 --> 01:13:31,980
And if you don't believe me,
just ask the many other...
1460
01:13:31,990 --> 01:13:33,740
defectors and hear
what they say.
1461
01:13:33,740 --> 01:13:35,710
They will all tell
you the same thing.
1462
01:13:35,700 --> 01:13:41,990
Don't they all get their
information from you?
1463
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:47,120
If you were wondering why
it took so long for me...
1464
01:13:47,130 --> 01:13:52,640
to meet with you, it's this
smug attitude.
1465
01:13:52,630 --> 01:13:56,720
You have no intention of
reporting anything I've said.
1466
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:59,550
Do you want us to just be your
cheerleaders?
1467
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:01,310
All right, I think we
should go.
1468
01:14:01,310 --> 01:14:04,190
Thank you for your time.
1469
01:14:04,180 --> 01:14:08,640
Now I see why no one reads
anything you write.
1470
01:14:08,650 --> 01:14:12,240
I am an advocate for the removal
of a vicious dictator...
1471
01:14:12,230 --> 01:14:16,990
for a free Iraq, an Iraq that
will one day be a close ally...
1472
01:14:16,990 --> 01:14:21,660
to your country, to Israel, and
to all of the Western world.
1473
01:14:21,660 --> 01:14:25,750
And exactly how will this happen
after Saddam Hussein is gone?
1474
01:14:25,750 --> 01:14:26,750
All right, come on, Landay.
1475
01:14:26,750 --> 01:14:29,210
No, no, no, he says the world
will be better off...
1476
01:14:29,210 --> 01:14:30,330
but he doesn't say how.
1477
01:14:30,340 --> 01:14:32,760
How would the removal
of Saddam Hussein...
1478
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,890
not plunge Iraq into a bloody
civil war?
1479
01:14:35,880 --> 01:14:37,210
Tell us something that makes
sense...
1480
01:14:37,220 --> 01:14:43,730
anything that makes sense, and
we'll write that story today.
1481
01:14:43,720 --> 01:14:44,430
You can't!
1482
01:14:44,430 --> 01:14:46,810
Because you have no
idea what happens next.
1483
01:14:46,810 --> 01:14:48,680
And neither does anyone else.
John. John!
1484
01:14:48,690 --> 01:14:52,240
I would rather go back and write
for my high school paper...
1485
01:14:52,230 --> 01:14:53,190
than to be used by you...
1486
01:14:53,190 --> 01:14:57,150
to sell the American public
your bullshit.
1487
01:14:57,150 --> 01:14:58,530
All right.
1488
01:15:01,780 --> 01:15:05,160
By the way, it's Knight Ridder.
1489
01:15:05,160 --> 01:15:06,910
Secretary of State Colin Powell
will make the case...
1490
01:15:06,910 --> 01:15:10,870
against Iraq in a nationally
televised address...
1491
01:15:10,880 --> 01:15:12,720
to the UN Security Council.
1492
01:15:12,710 --> 01:15:14,710
Looks like they're bringing
in the closer.
1493
01:15:14,710 --> 01:15:16,800
[REPORTER] Mr. Secretary,
are you confident...
1494
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:18,550
you will make your case, sir?
1495
01:15:18,550 --> 01:15:19,340
You'll see.
1496
01:15:19,340 --> 01:15:21,430
What the hell game have we've
been playing?
1497
01:15:21,430 --> 01:15:24,760
All we did is piss into the
wind.
1498
01:15:26,350 --> 01:15:28,680
We did ourjobs.
1499
01:15:28,690 --> 01:15:32,070
I should never have become
a reporter.
1500
01:15:32,060 --> 01:15:36,230
Damn that Woodward and
Bernstein.
1501
01:15:37,360 --> 01:15:39,990
They took down a president
whose biggest crime...
1502
01:15:39,990 --> 01:15:43,660
was trying to cover up some
dirty political tricks.
1503
01:15:43,660 --> 01:15:46,280
This president's about to do the
worst thing any president...
1504
01:15:46,290 --> 01:15:50,050
could do and he'll probably
get re-elected.
1505
01:15:51,250 --> 01:15:54,130
To the democratic experiment.
1506
01:15:56,550 --> 01:15:58,010
[POWELL]
Thank you, Mr. President.
1507
01:15:58,010 --> 01:16:00,390
My colleagues, every statement
I make today...
1508
01:16:00,380 --> 01:16:04,720
is backed up by sources,
solid sources.
1509
01:16:04,720 --> 01:16:08,260
The gravity of this moment is
matched by the gravity...
1510
01:16:08,270 --> 01:16:12,150
of the threat that Iraq's
weapons of mass destruction...
1511
01:16:12,150 --> 01:16:12,950
pose to the world.
1512
01:16:12,940 --> 01:16:16,560
It was a set up, the whole damn
thing was a set up.
1513
01:16:16,570 --> 01:16:19,830
Tenet sent Powell a stack
of files this high...
1514
01:16:19,820 --> 01:16:21,030
that supported the invasion.
1515
01:16:21,030 --> 01:16:22,740
Saddam Hussein is determined...
1516
01:16:22,740 --> 01:16:25,280
to get his hands
on a nuclear bomb.
1517
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:26,280
Cheney sent Scooter Libby...
1518
01:16:26,290 --> 01:16:28,960
to push three main arguments
in those files.
1519
01:16:28,950 --> 01:16:31,040
One: Saddam's human rights
abuses...
1520
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:32,040
which everybody knew about.
1521
01:16:32,040 --> 01:16:34,000
Two: his links to al Qaeda,
which Powell...
1522
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:35,790
of course, threw right
in the trash.
1523
01:16:35,790 --> 01:16:40,300
And the third focused
on lraq's WMD.
1524
01:16:40,300 --> 01:16:42,550
Leaving Saddam Hussein in
possession of weapons...
1525
01:16:42,550 --> 01:16:45,050
of mass destruction for a few
more months or years...
1526
01:16:45,050 --> 01:16:49,140
is not an option, not in a
post-September 11th world.
1527
01:16:49,140 --> 01:16:53,020
Over a four-day period, Powell
made every single CIA officer...
1528
01:16:53,020 --> 01:16:57,060
defend every so-called piece
of evidence in those files.
1529
01:16:57,070 --> 01:16:58,780
He threw out 80% of them.
1530
01:16:58,780 --> 01:16:59,990
At the end of the four days...
1531
01:16:59,990 --> 01:17:02,450
Powell looked Tenet right
in the eye and said...
1532

and unconditionally disarmed?

The only acceptable outcome is
the one already defined...

by a unanimous vote of the
Security Council.

the requirements
of Resolution 1441.

This is a fact, it cannot
be denied.

would it do to give...

Saddam a final ultimatum?

A two or three day deadline
to disarm or face force?

concerned...

for how to protect our country.
1557
01:18:19,860 --> 01:18:24,950
My job is to protect the
American people.
1558
01:18:24,950 --> 01:18:28,540
Used to be that we could think
that you could contain...
1559

a person like Saddam Hussein...

to the American people--

01:18:37,580 --> 01:18:39,040
Hello?
1564
01:18:39,040 --> 01:18:41,380
You need to pack your bags.
1565
01:18:41,380 --> 01:18:43,670
Right.

In the hands of a terrorist
organization...

Thank you, Mr. President.
1570
01:18:55,180 --> 01:18:57,890
Sir, how would you answer your
critics who say that they--
1571
01:18:57,890 --> 01:18:59,560
They think this is somehow
personal?
1572
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:01,560
As Senator Kennedy put it
tonight...
1573
01:19:01,610 --> 01:19:03,870
he said your fixation
with Saddam Hussein...
1574
01:19:03,860 --> 01:19:05,900
is making the world a more
dangerous place.
1575
01:19:05,900 --> 01:19:08,240
And as you prepare the American
people for the possibility...
1576
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:10,280
of military conflict, could you
share with us...
1577

advisors have shared...

with you about worst-case

You make sure the-- this country
knows what's going on out there.
1580

Yeah?
I will.

destruction...
1583
01:19:32,600 --> 01:19:36,150
and he has used weapons
of mass destruction.
1584
01:19:36,140 --> 01:19:37,390
He has trained and financed...
1585
01:19:37,390 --> 01:19:39,560
al Qaeda-type organizations
before.
1586
01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:43,730
I take the threat seriously,
and /'I/ deal with the threat.

peacefully.

not changing.

[REPORTER] Mr. President,
millions of Americans can...
1591
01:19:54,830 --> 01:19:58,170
recall a time when leaders from
both parties set this country..
1592
01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:01,120
on a mission of regime change
in Vietnam.
1593
01:20:01,120 --> 01:20:02,540
50,000 Americans died.
1594
01:20:02,540 --> 01:20:06,000
The regime is still there in
Hanoi and it hasn't harmed...
1595
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:08,420
or threatened a single American
in 30 years...
1596
01:20:08,420 --> 01:20:09,380
since the war ended.
1597
01:20:09,380 --> 01:20:12,050
What can you say tonight, sir,
to the sons and daughters...
1598
01:20:12,050 --> 01:20:15,640
of the Americans who served in
Vietnam to assure them that...
1599
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:19,930
you will not lead this country
down a similar path in Iraq?
1600
01:20:19,940 --> 01:20:22,240
[BUSH] That's a great question.
1601
01:20:22,230 --> 01:20:26,060
No doubt, there 's risks with
any military operation.
1602
01:20:26,070 --> 01:20:26,780
I know that.
1603
01:20:26,780 --> 01:20:29,870
lt's a good thing he can draw
on all that experience he got...
1604
01:20:29,860 --> 01:20:31,740
while not serving in the
National Guard.
1605
01:20:31,740 --> 01:20:35,410
But it's very clear what we
intend to do.
1606
01:20:35,410 --> 01:20:38,580
And our mission won 't change.
1607
01:20:39,750 --> 01:20:45,090
It could last, you know, six
days, six weeks...
1608
01:20:45,090 --> 01:20:48,140
I doubt six months.
1609
01:20:48,130 --> 01:20:49,880
There 's a lot of money to pay
for this...
1610
01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:51,510
that doesn't have to be
U. S. taxpayer money.
1611
01:20:51,510 --> 01:20:54,380
We're dealing with a country
that can really finance...
1612
01:20:54,390 --> 01:20:57,060
its own reconstruction,
and relatively soon.
1613
01:20:57,060 --> 01:20:59,570
There will always be some
uncertainty...
1614
01:20:59,560 --> 01:21:02,020
about how quickly he can
acquire nuclear weapons...
1615
01:21:02,020 --> 01:21:05,310
but we don 't want the smoking
gun to be a mushroom cloud.

[RUSSERT] Do you think the
America people...
1617
01:21:06,980 --> 01:21:10,860
are prepared for a long,
costly, and bloody battle...
1618
01:21:10,860 --> 01:21:12,730
with significant American
casualties?
1619
01:21:12,740 --> 01:21:15,000
I don 't think it's likely
to unfold that way, Tim...

will be greeted as liberators.

of the ironies is...
1640
01:24:15,550 --> 01:24:17,050
that every time we would write
something...
1641
01:24:17,050 --> 01:24:20,220
the White House would say
nothing, because we realized...
