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?
1:38:00
It was combat,
not some training exercise.
1:38:02
A moment later,
your men were shooting.
1:38:04
What did you say
to make that happen?
1:38:04
I don't know.
1:38:05
You must have said something.
Captain Lee reversed himself.
1:38:09
- What did you say?
- I don't know the exact words.
1:38:12
- Let me help you.
- Your Honor.
1:38:13
You said, "Waste the motherfuckers,"
didn't you?
1:38:15
- No, no, no.
- You didn't say it?
1:38:17
- It all happened so fast...
- You're under oath, Colonel!
1:38:21
Let me refresh
your memory.
1:38:23
This is exhibit "ry" a tape
recording made aboard...
1:38:26
the U.S.S. Wake Island of all radio
communications received that day,
1:38:30
including your exact words.
1:38:33
Your Honor, with your permission
I would like to play this tape.
1:38:35
If you got it on tape,
then that's what I said!
1:38:37
They were killing my marines,
so, yeah, I said it!
1:38:39
Waste the motherfuckers!
1:38:42
- Are these "the motherfuckers"?
- Objection.
1:38:44
- Overruled.
- Yes!
1:38:45
- These?
- Objection!
1:38:48
Yes!
1:38:50
- These?
- Objection!
1:38:51
- Overruled.
- Yes.
1:38:52
Are these "the motherfuckers"...
1:38:54
that you ordered to be wasted?
- Your Honor.
1:38:56
- Major.
- Yes!
1:38:57
The crowd in front of the embassy
had no weapons, did they, Colonel?
