:31:00
we are responsible!
:31:04
We can't even have
the appearance of a cover-up.
:31:07
That does not excuse us
from our duty, Mr. Sokal.
:31:10
We sent Colonel Childers in there,
and the mission went to shit.
:31:14
We can't go after the man
who carried out his orders...
:31:17
and ignore the people
who issued those orders.
:31:19
Childers ordered the slaughter...
:31:21
of innocent women and children.
Get that straight right now.
:31:23
I'll tell you
what we ought to get straight.
:31:25
We lost three
United States Marines.
:31:27
They lost 83!
:31:29
Now, are we gonna go to war
with Yemen over it?
:31:32
We're covering our ass all over
the Middle East right now, General.
:31:36
Because of your man's
hot headed miscalculation,
:31:38
we are in danger of losing embassies
in Saudi, Jordan and Egypt.
:31:43
We're in danger
of losing our presence...
:31:45
with every moderate
in the region.
:31:48
Now they're gonna scream
"cover up".
:31:50
The screaming will get so loud we'll
be sending Marines back over there,
:31:53
and the body count of American
dead is gonna be higher than three.
:31:58
I see where you're going
with this, Mr. Sokal.
:32:02
Will you be needing me
anymore today?
:32:06
No.
:32:08
No, that's fine, General.
Thankyou.
:32:10
Good day to you, sir.
:32:25
Where do you think
you're going with that?
:32:28
- You don't want to look at it.
- Nobody's lookin' at it.
:32:33
Why should the United States
be held responsible...
:32:35
for the actions of one man?
:32:39
What if the crowd
had weapons?
:32:41
What if this shows
they did fire first?
:32:44
He could have fired over
their heads, this moron!
:32:47
Didn't he know where he was?
The Middle East!
:32:49
He could have isolated
on the snipers.
:32:51
He could have
avoided confrontation.
:32:53
He could have done
50 fuckin' things!
:32:55
Instead, he destroyed a fragile
trust, put his own men in danger...
:32:57
Fuck this guy!
Forget this tape.
