:30:01
We now have the capacity to blow up
the whole world several times over.
:30:05
Which does not mean
we must do it.
:30:07
We won't be able to stop from doing it.
That's the logic ofyour position.
:30:13
We're setting up a war machine
that acts faster...
:30:15
than the ability ofmen
to control it.
:30:17
We're putting men into situations
that are too tough for men to handle.
:30:21
Then we must toughen the men.
:30:22
Suppose they launch
a first strike against us?
:30:26
Then we retaliate,
and we're all finished.
:30:29
Would you prefer
that onlywe were finished?
:30:33
We have to prepare.
:30:37
We're preparing.
We've got to slow down.
:30:42
I disagree.
We have got to speed up.
:30:45
Naturally,
that means taking risks...
:30:48
but our intention is always
to minimize those risks.
:30:51
Ofcourse, we can only control
our own actions.
:30:54
Our concept oflimited war is based
on an equal rationality by the Russians.
:30:59
It also presupposes there will be
no accidents on either side.
:31:03
But suppose
that unidentified flying object...
:31:08
was one oftheir 50-megaton missiles
that had gotten loose by mistake.
:31:12
What could be done? How could they
prove it was really an accident?
:31:15
Would it make any difference
ifthey could?
:31:17
Even ifwe believe them, should we
still think oflimiting our response...
:31:21
or should we hit them back
with everything we have?
:31:26
It's gone, General.
What happened to it?
:31:28
Colonel Cascio,
let's go to Condition Yellow.
:31:33
It's dropped below the level
in which our radar can pick it up.
:31:36
You went to the next state
ofreadiness.
:31:38
That's standard operating procedure.
:31:40
It could be a commercial plane
about to crash.
:31:42
Or an enemy plane
taking evasive action.
:31:45
Naturally, we prepare for the worst.
:31:47
Twominutes to fail-safe.
:31:54
What are those planes
following the bomber, General?
:31:56
Fighter support.
Part ofCondition Yellow.
:31:59
From now on, they'll follow
the bombers as far as they go.
