:30:00
is "Peace is our Profession"
:30:02
God forbid we find ourselves
in a nuclear exchange
:30:05
But launched
:30:07
missiles from Cuba
would kill a lot of Americans
:30:09
The very presence of those missiles
:30:11
gives the Soviets
first- strike capability
:30:14
Those missiles
make a nuclear exchange more likely
:30:17
And that is why
I'm being such a pain in the ass
:30:21
abut destroying them
and destroying them immediately
:30:24
Hell, even Mac agrees
:30:28
And sir
:30:30
given your own statements about Cuba
:30:32
I think a blockade
or a bunch of political talk
:30:37
would be considered
by a lot of our friends and neutrals
:30:40
as a pretty weak response
:30:43
And I suspect many of our own citizens
feel the same way
:30:48
You're in a pretty bad fix
Mr. President
:30:55
What did you say?
:30:58
You're in a pretty bad fix
:31:02
Maybe you hadn't noticed
you're in it with me
:31:08
General
:31:09
what are the Soviets gonna do
when we attack?
:31:14
Nothing
:31:16
Nothing?
:31:17
Nothing
:31:19
Because the only alternative
open to them
:31:22
is one they can't choose
:31:26
You know, they're...
:31:27
they're not just missiles
we're gonna be destroying, General
:31:30
If we kill Soviet soldiers
they're gonna respond
:31:35
How would we respond
if they killed ours?
:31:37
They're gonna do something, General
:31:39
I can promise you that
:31:45
Those goddamn Kennedys
are gonna destroy this country
:31:47
if we don't do something about this
:31:51
We're headed out to the back yard
to look for that Big Red Dog
:31:56
Thanks, Bob
:31:57
I was hoping Lemay pushed you
