1:36:01
then asked to surrender.
1:36:03
Colonel, did you warn
the enemy?
1:36:06
We arrived in helicopters.
We were standing on that roof armed.
1:36:09
Did you warn them, either with shots
into the air or by a loudspeaker?
1:36:12
Did you ask them
to surrender?
1:36:15
No.
1:36:17
I'm sorry, no, you did not
warn the crowd?
1:36:20
Yes. No, I did not
warn the crowd.
1:36:23
Continue, Colonel.
You seem to know them by heart.
1:36:26
Deadly force
is the last resort.
1:36:31
- Go on.
- Three.
1:36:33
When possible, try to arrange
for the evacuation of civilians...
1:36:35
prior to any U.S. attack.
1:36:37
Did you do that, try
to evacuate the innocent people...
1:36:39
before you slaughtered them?
1:36:41
Objection. That is inflammatory.
- Rephrase, Major.
1:36:44
Did you try, following Section C
ofthe rules of engagement...
1:36:47
for ground conflict in urban areas,
to evacuate innocent civilians?
1:36:52
- No.
- No.
1:37:02
Yeah, yeah.
1:37:05
I just have
one more thing, Colonel.
1:37:09
Did you have to repeat
your orders to Captain Lee?
1:37:12
- I'm sorry?
- You ordered Captain Lee...
1:37:14
to engage hostile targets,
and he advised you...
1:37:16
that there were women and children
in the line of fire.
1:37:18
- Is that correct?
- He couldn't see...
1:37:20
Yes or no, Colonel? Didhe
follow your first set of orders?
1:37:26
I don't remember.
1:37:28
Captain Lee is on record
as saying he hesitated...
1:37:31
and mentioned the snipers
in the buildings.
1:37:33
- Is his testimony accurate?
- I don't remember.
1:37:37
Let me get this straight.
1:37:39
You evacuate
the ambassador.
1:37:42
You go back to the roof.
Two of your marines are K.I.A.
1:37:46
A third,
Sergeant Krasevitch, dies.
1:37:48
"You give your captain
an order which he doesn't follow;"
1:37:50
in fact, he questions.
1:37:53
And then you said what?
1:37:55
I don't remember.
1:37:58
You don't remember
what you said next?
