Continuing today's hearing about VA funding in the future...
Senate Committee on Veterans Affairs...
called back to order.
We will hear from our next witness.
Will you stand up and raise your right hand?
My apologies.
Please raise your right hand.
Do you swear that the testimony you will give...
this committee will be the truth, the whole truth...
and there is nothing else but the truth, so help God?
I do.
Please state your name.
Adam Green's Private First Class, Force United States Army, retire.
Mr. Green, I understand that you have prepared a statement?
I have, sir.
You can put it into the current record.
Chairman, Committee member...
I want to thank for the opportunity...
to talk to you today.
I served in the military...
I'm sorry, if I can...
Sure, please. </ P>
Thank you sir. </ P>
I always like numbers. </ P>
Every time I have trouble wrap my head...
p>
something, I found that numbers made things clearer to me.
They helped me understand the decisions made...
and impact of that decision.
So, if it's okay...
I want to start with the number 1.4 million.
That is the number of men and women...
who currently serve in our military. </ P>
how many days passed before we attacked one country...
after being attacked by another.
19... how old am I when I registered.
Three are the number of hours that passed from time...
I arrived in Iraq on when our transportation... </ p >
destroyed by IED
And then there are six.
That is the number of inches the piece of shrapnel...
that cuts my spinal cord.
The only problem with numbers is that they can be private.
The decisions you make have the impact that changes my life...
and lots of soldiers like me.
Now, I'm not a military expert.
I don't know much about geopolitical matters.
I'm just an ordinary American.
And I understand that you have asked me here...
because you all have some questions for me,
but if not -What, I want to ask all of you questions.
How can this happen?
My fellow citizens, at this hour...
American forces and coalitions are in the early stages...
military operations to disarm > Iraq, to free...
its people and to defend the world from great danger.
Early campaign called Shock and Awe.
Shock and awe.
- Shock and Awe. - Shock and Awe, indeed.
Air strike sirens will explode in Baghdad...
Large-scale military operations...
to overthrow Saddam Hussein now applies.
Firing 600 cruise missiles...
and every type of war plane in the American armory.
< i> Scary appearance of American military power.
The scale of this attack...
is far more height of what we have seen before.
We took the entire building...
with this cruise missile.
US warplanes release...
to promise a large bombing to Baghdad.
3,000 Tomahawk Cruise missiles...
Guided precision bombs satellites, laser-guided bombs.
I think Baghdad residents know...
what Pentagon means by Shock and Awe.
More than the border Kuwait-Iraq... </ i p>
we watched the column of troops move to that country.
They were in a trip to Baghdad.
They have met resistance.
We can't leave the television...
every tank, every helicopter... is that my son?
Now Baghdad is in shooting range...
only a few miles away...
as a US force makes their final push forward.
We want to slaughter all of them...
the invaders, their graves will be here in Iraq.
If Saddam Hussein is still alive, he is a quote...
"Not controlling the military and the government. "
This is the opening stage of what will become...
and joint campaigns .
It could be longer and more difficult than expected.
And help the Iraqi people > achieve unity, stable...
and a free country will need our ongoing commitment.
And You can know that our troops will go home...
as soon as their work is finished.
Keep moving! Keep moving! Let's go! </ P>
- Where did they take us? - Shut up. Bow down. </ P>
Shut your mouth or I will blow your head. </ P>
- Okay all right. - Are you a soldier? </ P>
- Journalist. - Who do you work for? </ P>
- Knight Ridder. - Never heard of that. </ P>
You have to read more. </ P> >
What is your name?
Jonathan landay.
Goodbye, Jonathan landay.
Practice finished.
What's new only you do called The Gray Man Exercise.
And what you just just witnessed...
is a big failure from practice that.
If a journalist is arrested...
terrorists might keep you alive...
in hopes of getting information or swapping you with a ransom.
But if you give them a reason to kill you, they will do it.
Purpose this exercise is to teach you...
how to avoid attracting the attention of your captors.
Because that's the name, Gray Man.
Can you release me?
This can save your life someday, understand?
I did, I was at 11 war zone, I have been shot...
I have been taken prisoner, I consider this very serious.
But if you don't release me now, I can lose my job .
And I'm pretty sure that not any of these trainings...
will be very useful...
when I mop up < br /> floor in Staples.
Both twin towers...
World Trade Center in Manhattan under New York...
has been attacked by a plane this morning in 20 minutes.
First, the North Tower is hit...
with the gaping holes left on the two sides of the building.
Good God.
20 minutes later, the second building...
the second tower in the complex World Trade Center...
I think we should look after Elizabeth at school.
Yes, no, I think is a good idea.
Why is she scared, huh?
And I'll call Ali and Jennifer as soon as the phone is open.
- I love you. - I love you.
Baik.
We have to tell you that...
we got calls from people...
who lived and worked around the Pentagon who told us...
that they had seen something...
they describe as an explosion.
This is information that has not been we can confirm .
Wake up.
Sorry, father.
Monday Night Football lasts a long time.
Let's clean this place .
Trade Center in New York...
has been affected by an airplane.
< i> In Washington, there's a big fire in the Pentagon.
The Pentagon has been evacuated.
And there, you can see, maybe, the second tower...
the front tower, the part of the top that collapsed.
Good God.
Many people will need drinks tonight.
Soldiers drink free.
There are no words.
All federal office buildings are now...
all federal office buildings in Washington, DC
are being evacuated when we speak to you now.
We are in the midst of an extraordinary disaster.
The most important thing to tell You if you just joined...
in is that what has all the extraordinary talent...
planned terrorist attacks both in Washington and New York
happened this morning.
Trade Center in New York...
two World Trade Towers Center has collapsed...
after being hit by a plane.
Yes, this is John Walcott from Knight Ridder.
Is he there?
Yes, okay, fine, tell him I'll try it later.
Thank you.
I just talked to my wife.
He and the child children are afraid leaving home.
What are they doing there?
They are watching the White House.
To see if it is hit? p>
Yes.
Oh, Yesus. Baiklah, pulanglah ke keluargamu.
And tell your colleagues that they might want to stay away...
from the window, okay?
- Thank you, John. - Yes
Good. OK. Good. </ P>
Their work thesis is that this is foreign terrorism...
not domestic.
Attention will immediately switch to the bin Laden group...
because it has long tentacles.
There are very few other people who can do this.
Do we send someone to New York?
Ken Moore in Suvu is already in there which includes Wall Street.
What happened in the country?
Powell in Peru.
Well, all we need to do is to track the President.
Track the people the top and find out...
who is responsible for all this.
We need lots of sources in many agencies...
to record and tell us everything we know must be correct.
Al Qaeda! Al Qaeda! That is Al Qaeda. </ P>
Surely Al Qaeda. </ P>
What do you use? </ P>
Well, the wife wants to evacuate... .
but he locks the cat and locks it in the car.
So, I'm cycling in
We need to know how they do this.
Anyone should go home to their family...
feel free to do it.
Just come from family.
>
Let's start working.
Today, our fellow citizens , our way of life...
Our freedom, is attacked in series...
terrorist acts that are intentional and deadly.
Adam, give me Jameson, please. </ i p>
Yes sir. Here you go. </ P>
Thank you, kid. </ P>
It's at home, gentlemen. </ P>
Thank you. </ P>
Dad says we keep open as late as they want. </ P>
They must be scared. </ P>
- They're Rangers. - They are boys. </ P >
Our military is strong and prepared.
Search is being carried out for them... </ p >
that is behind this evil action.
I have directed the source full of our intelligence...
and the law enforcement community to find those responsible...
and bring them to court. </ p >
It's been 33 hours since...
and attacks have never happened before in the United States.
There are, as we said, great search and rescue...
operations, and investigations great criminals and intense.
And we just started to understand...
the extent of the disaster.
I feel like I haven't slept in a month.
This will be a group of zombies running this city.
What do you know about the original plan...
to chase bin Laden?
I have nothing to give you about that.
Ok, well, how long before we are on the ground in Afghanistan...
and how long do they project we will be there?
Listen, I'm trying to get an answer on the same question as you.
all I can say is, most of the talk this morning...
not yet about Afghanistan.
Well, what's this?
Iraq?
I got it from a source in the State who got it from the Pentagon.
In connection with the attack?
The Crackpot Theory of people who doesn't know...
what are they talking about.
That's Rumsfeld.
Very?
Yes, apparently, there lots of people in Defense...
who thinks this should be sponsored by the state.
I mean, it's not just Rumsfeld, some are arrogant...
bastards on the Council < br /> Defense Policy...
The Dark Lord?
- Richard Perle. - Right. Perle. </ P>
And that's the neo-con on the Project...
for whatever New America is...
America's New Century, Bill Kristol.
Giant butthole that, Bill Kristol.
And he must curse his little jamming all this time.
Yes, these thinkers...
has tried to push it out Saddam Hussein since & apos; 97.
They have this crazy theory that if they can...
Western-style democracy in the Middle East...
it will grow multiply miraculously...
and finally protect Israel.
You have to give them an appreciation for creative thinking.
That is Ivory Tower nonsense.
I mean, in what world do they think that Osama bin Laden...
and Saddam Hussein hatch this thing together?
Let's find out whether this dick...
serious about Iraq, okay?
Look, I'm not saying there is a link to Iraq...
and so is my boss.
This is just something we hear. </ P>
From whom? </ P>
Who told me or where did it come from? </ P>
Take your choice.
Someone at the Pentagon.
In the Vice President's office?
That's just a theory.
Is there a Senator talking with anyone...
said something different?
I know Powell objected...
to go to places other than Afghanistan.
Go.
One question and I go.
I'm not talking with you in the note.
Anonymous sources, intelligence community.
You can't use my name.
Never, never.
Or my agency.
Promise the little finger.
One question.
Are you looking for Iraqi connections?
>
Who are you in that question?
Are we in the United States?
There are some people.
Are we in my agency?
>
It's not that I'm aware.
Do I, personally?
It's impossible.
Okay, the second part for that question.
So, no one has worked with you at the Library of Congress ever...
found a connection between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda?
No one who works with I hope to find the link. </ P>
So, as far as you know...
there is nothing important to tie Iraq with bin Laden?
There's nothing even indirect.
To unite secular leaders like Saddam...
with extremists Islam like bin Laden just...
doesn't have an understanding of the Muslim world. </ P>
It's a bit shy. </ P>
Nothing that really comes out and says nothing in public.
Maybe it's just backroom speculation.
Speculation is quite dangerous.
>
The attack was just 10 days ago.
Everyone tried to catch up.
Must press our rally.
I'll contact The Italian Lady.
You think you can get Loose Nuclear to go on record?
I'm lucky to get it with a deep background.
Alright, double Charm attacks.
Buongiorno, this is Warren Strobel. </ p >
I want to get your advice about important scheduling issues.
If you can contact as soon as possible...
I will appreciate it very much . Thank you.
Hello.
Yes, hi, it's Jonathan.
I don't have anything for you.
No, I know, I know, but I'm making a story...
on a government that seems interested in Iraq.
< i> Jonathan, we won't talk about this.
No, I know, I know I don't talk about this...
because it wasn't recorded, but can you give me some indications?
Goodbye, Jonathan.
What did he say?
He sends his love.
In all nations...
the flag has flown off the shelf.
The wave of patriotism has been spreading throughout America.
At times like this, that's what we did at America.
We are united people.
They are discussing in school today...
about why America is so great, right?
Yes, and what are you saying?
This is a country that is free.
That's a good answer.
It's a boy Mama.
Can I finish now ?
Not until I get a big hug.
Okay, after your mother is hugged.
Oh, whoa!
Proud of you, munchie
I love you.
They really encouraged this nationalism at school.
What do you expect?
Of course, there will be patriotism now.
Oh, you want to call it patriotism?
Good.
It smells like nationalism for me.
That was how it began in Yugoslavia before the war.
Tear my country.
Do you want help?
No, I'm fine, thank you.
Okay, good night.
Good night.
How real is the Iraqi conversation?
There are arguments going on.
Yes? Who won it? </ P>
I can't say it. </ P>
Look, my boss will send me to Afghanistan, and everything I want...
to find out if he has to buy a roundtrip ticket...
or does Afghanistan just stop on the way to Baghdad?
I can't tell you what -What.
I believe the ultimate act of terrorism...
against the US is a sponsored country.
So, we ask ourselves, "Who can be behind...
the biggest terrorist attack in human history...
"which country?"
I think Iraq is a country that most immediately comes to mind.
This is an idea...
gets credibility that increases.
Knight Ridder, it's Strobel.
Jim Woolsey is going to Europe...
for trying to find the relationship between Saddam...
and the bombing of the World 1993 Trade Center.
Is he off?
He was sent by jet official government.
Jesus, who sent it?
Deputy defense secretary.
Can you meet for coffee?
I will contact.
Hi, this is Warren Strobel with Knight Ridder.
I'm working on a story...
about the former CIA director, James Woolsey, traveling to Europe.
Do you know anything about that?
I have nothing to do with that.
But you realize that such a trip has happened? </ P>
I can't be your only source for this.
All right, keep in touch. </ P>
Hey, John. </ P>
Woolsey was sent to Europe to find evidence...
menghubungkan Saddam dengan pengeboman World Trade Center pada tahun '93.
It won't be a fool's job if they don't send stupid.
This comes from The Italian Lady?
And a diplomat who can confirm...
the trip was arranged by Wolfowitz.
What happened in Defense?
The question was, did they try to find out...
if there is truth on their theory...
or are they sure their theory is correct? </ p >
Are you sure about this Woolsey trip?
- Positive. - Do you have a third source?
- Yes - Who ?
Jim Woolsey.
Hey, this is Walcott, do you want to take a field trip?
I thought you'd call...
p>
How real is the chat about Iraq?
Very.
And it distracts us from those who attack us.
How fast before Iraq is in focus?
We need to blow things up.
Not enough targets in Afghanistan.
What about bin Laden? </ P>
You took bin Laden...
interest in the war goes to the shitter. </ P>
Combined attack on the sixth day in Tora Bora...
bin Laden is allegedly hiding place...
but there are still no signs of the most wanted man in the world.
B-52 The US attacked the position of Al Qaeda from the air. ..
while anti-Taliban tanks...
and his troops face strong resistance...
I go to my cave, from Al Qaeda fighters.
With more reports conflicting...
about bin Laden's whereabouts.
What did you get there...
Is that part of your State of your Union for tomorrow?
- Yes. - You lunch today?
Not with you.
I got one by one with Looney Tunes in the Country.
There is a dry hole.
Yes, fine, I think if I let it babble...
he will accidentally stumble into something newsworthy.
Yes, fine, give your best. </ P>
Definitely. Feeling hot from pressure, Beryl. </ P>
I even threw some semicolons just for you.
I'm sure you are proud of the University of Missouri.
Terrorists have ever occupying Afghanistan...
now occupies the cell on Guantanamo Bay.
And the terrorist leader who urge followers to sacrifice...
their lives are running & apos; for themselves.
Now , the top priority of governance other than ourselves...
security is to ensure freedom for other countries...
looking to embrace democracy as a way of life.
Now, we... excuse me... we understand that we can't...
become police for the world...
p>
but we feel we have responsibility for...
John!
Dixie?
John, can you hear me?
Yes Yes, I can hear you.
I got a call from one of our boys today...
asked me what happened
Are you still in Afghanistan?
Yes, I'm in Afghanistan...
but no one knows what the mission is anymore.
How did you bomb the country back to the Stone Age...
that was already in the middle Damn Stone Age?
< i> Our second goal is to prevent the regime that sponsors terror...
from threatening America, or our friends and allies...
with weapons of mass destruction.
We believe that Afghanistan is ready for freedom.
Now, this is a country that has struggled to be free...
alone from the repressive grip of the Taliban for years.
We have Bin Laden on the run and they divert my assets.
We may never get him in our cross line again.
Whoa, whoa, wait, where are they moving your assets to where? </ P>
Some of these regimes are quite calm since...
September 11, but we know their true nature.
You know, that is a country that really needs that kind...
stability that comes with the rule of law.
North Korea, Iran, Iraq... declares like this...
and their terrorist allies are the axis of evil...
arming for threatening world peace.
You must forgive me...
Warren, but I have to prepare briefing for Secretary Powell.
Sure.
Anything else you need from me?
No, no thanks.
I think you've given me more than enough to chew. </ P>
It's amazing. </ P>
And you feel sure that Afghanistan...
will receive Western-style democracy?
Oh, of course.
It's just as confident as our about Iraq.
Sounds like the debate about Iraq is getting serious. </ P>
Oh no, no, no, the debate is over. </ P>
Saddam must go, one- the only question is how.
Good to talk to you, Warren.
Yes, you too, sir.
The president will invade Iraq.
You got this from Looney Tunes?
Yes, and confirmed by an diplomat who said he met...
with Bush, and a recent foreign leader who came with...
"A feeling that a decision has been made to attack Iraq."
Do you think we can get enough to run the story?
unfortunately, I know.
So much for the truce.
Yes, well, very good of us...
temporarily stopped shooting them, though.
♪ I have been bound and finally ♪
♪ Can barely get a sound ♪
♪ Have been deceived treated improperly ♪
♪ Don't even want to think about it ♪
What do you plan, Smucker?
You know, I tried to chat with your translator today.
Yes, how?
Well, for a man who is paid to speak for a living...
He is extraordinarily calm.
He only spoke to me.
Very? And what did he say to you? </ P>
Dollar, I will let you read all about it. </ P>
Let me see. </ P>
bin Laden is gone
They missed him, didn't they?
He was here and they missed him!
A senior US military officials...
tell NBC News "Despite a landslide defeat...
"Al Qaeda's forces at Tora Bora...
" It is now believed that Osama bin Laden has slipped...
"Crossing the border into Pakistan, seek refuge...
" on anyone's lawless land...
"Mastered by the commander rebel tribal warfare."
Oh, this is official...
this is the most sad event I've ever attended.
I'll be back in the apartment me, drink a bottle of wine...
and put my head in the oven.
Okay, but before you do that...
I really want you to meet with the guy I told you. </ p >
Oh! He just entered! </ P>
Lupakan anggurnya, aku akan bunuh diri sekarang.
No, not him... him. I will introduce you.
Pam, please don't.
- Warren! Hey! - Oh, hi. </ P>
Glad you can make it make it, come. </ P>
Warren, this is a friend My good, Lisa Mayr.
Lisa, this is Warren Strobel, she is a journalist...
and I will drink again.
Hi, uh, Lisa?
p>
- Yes - Yes, nice to meet you.
- Hi. - Uh...
Have you ever succeeded enter your apartment?
Uh, oh, yes, yes, yes, no, no, no, I'm sorry.
- Yes, I made it in okay. - Good. Okay. </ P>
So, you're a journalist? </ P>
Yes, yes, for Knight Ridder. </ P>
Actually this is a consortium of 31 newspapers.
Well, my story comes out to all of our newspapers...
and each has option to publish or not.
Oh well. I always wonder how it works.
Yes.
Hey, I got married when was 22 years old.
And we've just been separated, so...
It's a little strange to me.
It's okay.
I'm a little out of practice.
Why didn't you start by asking questions?
Sure, yes.
Are you a Republican or Democratic?
p>
Try again.
Yes, of course, he wants you to call him.
He gave you his name card.
In a single mixer on Valentine's Day?
What? So, call him? I have to call him? </ P>
What? No, no, no, actually, let him dangle. </ P>
There are no women who in their 30s prefer...
of a man who took his time.
I'm fine, Arthur, I'm fine.
It's just that I'm a little tired...
take paper < br /> You every morning...
and see that you don't run our story.
I mean, the last time I saw...
The Philadelphia Inquirer is Knight Ridder's newspaper, isn't it?
The point is, there is no point being Knight Ridder's paper...
if you don't will run Knight Ridder's story.
John, we've gone through this.
Your story doesn't match...
with what we do here now.
Doesn't match? What doesn't it match? Truth? </ P>
What's wrong, Arthur...
The truth isn't selling paper anymore?
And today, for the first time...
administration was provided...
the details for what always insists are connections...
between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda.
How strong is the case?
Saddam's Iraqi President Hussein said...
he doesn't have weapons illegal mass destruction...
and accuses the United States of using weapons...
as a pretext for starting a war.
Galloway, how close is the movie that suits your book? </ P>
The film is about 80% accurate and 20% nonsense...
I think according to standard Hollywood is an achievement.
What inspired you to write a book?
Shot by soldiers North Vietnam.
What is the biggest difference between experiencing...
The Battle of Him personally versus watching it in the theater?
Popcorn in It is more salty.
Last question.
Can you draw any comparison between Vietnam...
and what happened today in Afghanistan ?
It's very different, but I think it's right...
that before we start dropping bombs, we think long and hard...
about the biggest lesson we got from Vietnam.
Which one?
When the government went berserk, the soldiers paid the price.
Why should I owe this unexpected visit?
Well, I hope I will get a signature...
from a war correspondent most famous in the world.
I hate this part. Reporters should not be a story. </ P>
Reporters are also not supposed to be awarded a Bronze Star. </ P>
How do you like work in the country? </ P >
I like working for General Powell...
and I hate working for Uncle Sam.
You missed reporting?
>
After 42 years, I think...
So, I worked at the Department of Foreign Affairs on September 10...
and the next day the biggest story in my life was destroyed.
I will says there is a little pull.
We are working on something that is important, that's why I'm here.
To make me jealous?
To make you offer.
If he gets weapons mass destruction, Jerry.
What does that mean to the world?
What does that mean for the Middle East?
- Can you reject it? - I try to watch news.
Stop calling him that.
Hey, kid.
Adam, what's the problem?
I met a recruiter.
Many people will die, Jerry.
You know after registering...
there is no change your mind, right?
I know.
What do you know? You are still a kid.
Which country was attacked.
Adam, I know you want to do what you think is right...
but war is not a video game.
You don't know what you are facing.
I know exactly what I am facing.
Here.
Show where Afghanistan is on this map.
Show me.
They will send you to the hemisphere the world to fight...
people who don't even You know there a year ago.
If you know what you are facing....
show where Afghanistan is on this map.
Has anyone ever pushed a map on Father's face...
and ask him to find Vietnam?
We now know that Saddam has returned...
his efforts to obtain nuclear weapons.
Among other sources, we got it from first hand...
testimony from defectors.
Many of us are sure that Saddam Hussein...
will get nuclear weapons immediately.
In short, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein...
< i> now have weapons mass destruction.
They call rhetoric in Iraq.
Let's see if we can nail it down, okay?
Twenty dollars, whoever gets the best offer.
No, no, no, you are a child like that.
You are like a vagina.
I do not take your money.
You get everything crooked from the form when you lose.
I don't care. I'm the same when I win or lose.
I'm not... it's not a bet, okay, fine.
Warren Strobel for > Senator Biden, please. </ P>
You bastard. </ P>
Biden told Bush, "There's a reason your father didn't go...
" to Baghdad. He knows he has to stay...
"for at least five years." </ P>
I got Michael O & apos; Hanlon at Brookings said...
"You really can't rely on it to become cakewalk."
We have to hit it harder than that.
Alright, alright, wait. I got an official in the US...
who said, "There are widespread concerns...
" That this will shake the entire Middle East. "
Let me see what you have.
Well, wait, I... I...
Just give me , give it, give it, give it.
Good.
All right.
Let's see here... all right.
You guys are smart.
You know what's happening here.
Our readers need to know what we have learned.
" In the best case scenario, US Troops can be trapped in Iraq...
"For years trying to teach the workings of democracy...
"for a nation that has never known. In the worst case...
"Scenarios, invasion can cause ethnic Iraqis...
" Groups to decide enter their own mini country...
"Capturing combat troops America in the middle...
" Bloody civil war for decades. "</ P>
Boss has a ball. </ P>
Yes.
damn.
Is that for me?
No, yes.
But I think that might be a little, I don't know...
a little too quickly gave a gift to each other.
That will be fine.
Fine. </ P>
Well, I think they landed in my car...
so if you want to pick it up at dinner... </ p >
maybe we can do it?
- Great. - Great.
Okay, so what is the most shameful thing ...
You did it to prepare tonight?
Alright.
I will admit, it's for preparing for tonight...
I do some sort of session cram in Iraq...
and the history of the Muslim world.
Very?
Yes.
Now I know that 1400 years ago after Muhammad's death...
Muslims were fighting over who was the legitimate heir of ...
and that caused split into two factions...
Sunni and Shia.
And they have been fighting since then.
Then, at end of the War World I, Britain and France...
arbitrarily divided the Arab world into countries...
put a Sunni majority responsible.
But the country that became Iraq consisted of only 20% Sunni.
So, Saddam Hussein, a Sunni, with the rule of iron hands...
the majority of the Shia population...
and 20% of the population Kurds in northern Iraq. </ P>
But if Saddam Hussein was moved, it might...
rekindle the sectarian war of 1400 years. </ P>
Now, after reading you the story...
I know that Iran is the main sponsor of terror, not Iraq.
That a man named Ahmed Chalabi seems a fraud...
who wants to replace Saddam Hussein.
That the neo-cons in The Bush Administration...
is pushing for an invasion. </ P>
And you quickly become my favorite writer. </ P>
Wow. </ P>
Um... I think it's my turn.
Give it to me.
Okay, I admit that...
It's a little embarrassing.
I asked my ex-wife to watch over my two sons tonight.
Why is that embarrassing?
Because the babysitter will expect me to go home...
at the end of the night and...
Should we get the check?
Tell your boss that we will run it whether he comments or not!
Actually, this is a matter of life and death!
We talked about going to war damn it!
Hello?
I don't think it's any comments?
What are you grinning about?
What ? I'm not smiling.
- You grinned. - I didn't grin.
- I didn't... - What did you have there?
Bersantai! Jangan khawatir tentang itu.
Dear God, he can do my taxes.
Alright, relax.
- Strobel, Knight Ridder. - Of course. </ p >
Fine.
Okay, I'll be there soon.
Let's go, this can be something.
So, how how does it work?
Did you ask me the question or did I just start talking?
Why don't you just start...
and we will ask questions when we have it.
If it's not recorded, I have to say it, right?
Do you want that to be off the record?
I want people to know what I know, but not who I am.
That will be the background.
You will called as a US official.
So, whatever you feel is comfortable telling us.
I believe your predictions about what can and will happen...
if we go to war very precisely.
And we are much closer than you think.
How close?
Secret war planning group with parallel intelligence...
operations have been set to cut...
the rest of the intelligence community.
How do you know this?
They met at the building where I work.
And what is the building?
Which is with five sides.
But you're not part of that unit?
No.
So, how do you know about this?
My table is opposite hall.
What work do you work in the office?
Near the East Asia South division, but you can't express it.
You're an analyst?
Yes... but you can't express that too.
I speak to you because I'm an American citizen...
and I don't like what these people do.
Half a dozen men, some big never serve...
in the military make decisions...
based on intelligence bad, and that decision...
will affect men and our women in uniform.
And as someone wearing the uniform, I can't stay shut up.
You say bad intelligence. What is it?
They have designed an inappropriate process...
for every basic principle intelligence gathering.
In what way?
Decisions are made, then intelligence...
is searched to support that decision.
How do you know this? </ P>
They are not interested in Arabic speakers. </ P>
The Israelites come without permission...
without being put into in the security log.
And for years the government has funded the group...
the exiled dissidents the so-called Iraqi National Congress.
Led by Ahmad Chalabi, we know.
Who do they want to install as a new Iraqi leader.
Yes, we have been trying to meet him. </ P>
Do you know who has organized this operation? </ P>
Donald Rumsfeld. </ P>
Is there evidence for showing that Iraq...
have tried or are willing to supply terrorists...
with weapons of mass destruction?
< i> Report saying that something hasn't happened yet...
is always interesting to me because as we know...
there is something known to be known, there are things we know we know.
We also know that there are some /> known unknown.
That means, we know there are some things we don't know.
But some are not known unknown.
We don't know we don't know.
We are working on the theory that administration...
has decided to go to war...
and now focus on how to justify it.
That is not a theory.
We have also been told by a number of people who... </ p >
Rumsfeld is one end spear of intelligence gathering.
I won't really call it intelligence gathering.
It's more like < cherry picking intelligence.
And if they don't find any cherries...
they just take a damn piece...
and they paint it red, and they put it in Shirley Temple.
You look upset.
I'm out there looking for weapons which maybe there isn't...
to justify the war that might not be wise.
And have you found proof of WMD?
No sir. </ P>
Tapi Saddam ingin mendapatkan nuklir, kan?
Yes, and I try to make love with Jennifer Lopez, but I...
the feeling of drowning that not one of those things will happen.
So, we won't use your identity, but can we get a quote?
Sure.
Have you found anything to support administration...
the theory that Saddam is close or has obtained nuclear weapons?
We have searched in every cave...
and seen every camel butt in Iraq.
So here's your quote, "there's no damn way."
Maybe it should clean it up a little
Pretty colorful.
Uh, honey, I think someone...
stole our New York Times.
I canceled it. </ P>
Kenapa kau ingin melakukan itu?
That's propaganda.
I need that for my work.
This is a replay press release from the White House...
Outside Department Country and Pentagon. </ P>
Sorry, it's not a real newspaper. </ P>
How was your day? </ P>
Warren and I met with a man...
from the intelligence community who justifies...
there is no real evidence to support...
administrative claims on WMD .
What have I told you?
Well, unfortunately, I can't use your intestines as a reliable source.
You know, this is what they do. They lie.
Yes, and we try to hold back they are responsible.
I hope I'm wrong. I really, really.
But the Bush Administration, they don't care about the truth.
They don't even respond to your article.
If they want war, they will get it.
And nothing you or the first amendment...
will do to stop them.
Extras, extras, read all about that.
"Over the past 14 months, Iraq has tried to buy thousands...
" of special aluminum tubes designs, which America...
"Officials believe it is intended as a component...
" Centrifuges for enrich uranium. "</ P>
Well , one thing is certain.
What is that?
We can't both be right.
Who are you calling?
Loose Nukes .
If he doesn't want to talk with you about going to Iraq...
what makes you think he will go on a recording on WMD?
Offensive Charm. Look at and study, kid. </ P>
landay. </ P>
- This is Joe Galloway. - Wow. </ P>
Humans even walk like < br /> he has a Bronze Star.
Hello.
Oh, hi, yes, it's landay.
Hello, Jonathan.
Hi. The crazy weather we have experienced, huh? </ P>
You called me to chat about the weather?
No, no, yes . Actually, I want to ask about WMD. </ P>
That will be a deep and deep background. </ P>
Goodbye, Jonathan.
p>
It's Spell Offensive... it's tough.
Look, we need you here.
You have been developing sources for for years that have access...
that landay and Strobel can't get it.
I'll make it easy for you.
I'll give you a column...
and your name doesn't have to be appearing on anything else.
Whatever you want to write on the side, you can...
and of course, there will be no glory, but...
Glory to young men.
Let me sink in on it. p>
Let me switch to the Iraqi problem.
You said that it caused...
deadly threat to the United States.
How? Define "deadly threat."
Well, this will take time, but it is important to us...
as I mentioned before...
to remember that the world has changed, that before...
I will forget the world has changed.
Likewise me. I'm so glad he mentioned that.
What, specifically, has he got that you believe...
will improve the program its nuclear development?
Well, in the nuclear weapons arena...
You have a special aluminum tube.
There is a story in The New York Times this morning...
this and I want attributes to The Times.
I don't want to talk about, obviously...
certain intelligence sources, but now it's common that. ..
actually he has been trying to get, and we have...
able to intercept and prevent it from obtaining...
through this special channel...
the type of tube needed. ..
to build a centrifuge.
And a centrifuge is needed for taking low level uranium...
and increase it to highly enriched uranium...
you have to have to make a bomb.
Luckily for him, someone leaked it to The Times.
Avoiding disgusting disturbances captured...
to reveal confidential information.
We can only wonder how Judy Miller and Michael Gordon...
get that information.
Does that bother you, bother you...
that you haven't caught Osama bin Laden for more than a year?
I want to see it on television with handcuffs...
if I can enter it into that term.
I think we will all do it.
But I'm not awake at at night because of that.
There is one school of thought that says he is dead.
We haven't heard from from him for months.
What are you thinking about?
I don't know, I really don't know.
I can argue it round or flat.
I don't know we are still debating the shape of the earth.
I have a source on both sides.
But the US military will be very effective...
under these circumstances.
And I don't think it will be a difficult fight.
Meaning, I don't think there are questions...
that we will win and we will reach our destination.
landay.
Yes?
We are right, right?
Everything, listen.
We are not NBC.
Kami bukan ABC. Kami bukan CBS.
We are not FOX. We are not CNN. </ P>
We are not The New York Times. </ P>
We are not The Washington Post. </ P>
We are Knight Ridder. </ P>
We have readers who live in cities with military bases. </ P>
Fort Benning, Fort Bragg, Fort Jackson...
and more than 40 other military bases throughout the country.
If every other news organization wants to be a stenographer...
for government Bush, let them.
We don't write to people who send other people's children to fight.
We write for people who are children- his son was sent to the battlefield.
So when the government said something...
You only had one question to ask.
Is that true?
I go through percolation.
Let's start working.
Government officials stretch out on Sunday talk shows...
to make the case invasion of Iraq.
Who else is involved in Special Planning Office?
Wolfowitz, Feith, another partner.
Instead of listening to people spend their careers...
evaluating threats, they are streaming the questioned intel...
from sources that don't can be trusted and take it...
directly to the White House.
George Tenet, Director of Central Intelligence...
told the Senator, he did not be able to override the collaboration...
between Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda.
I have seen the specifications of on the aluminum tubes.
They are too small to be used to enrich uranium.
What does that mean?
p>
They can't be used for nuclear bombs.
The President of the United States...
said we didn't will allow countries to develop...
weapons of mass destruction...
because they will supply the weapon to the network...
terrorism that can attack the United States.
Cheney is trying to put out Powell.
Where did you get these items?
Old friends.
administration for Saddam Hussein's dismissal.
The government has appointed...
to a secret meeting in Prague between Iraqi intelligence...
and 9/11 hijackers, Mohamed Atta.
The Bush Administration is pressing the United Nations...
Security Council for resolution...
to suppress Iraq.
President Bush will address at the UN today...
with hope unites a multi-national coalition...
to disarm Saddam Hussein.
The White House lobbies Congress to authorize...
use of force in Iraq.
As soon as these people get what -What...
remotely resembles evidence...
they leaked it to The New York Times.
Now, I understand your position in...
but please don't cover me.
Good.
Okay, vice president United States... </ p >
go to VFW and said that Saddam Hussein...
was on the verge of developing nuclear weapons.
Then he went to national television...
and say the same thing.
Your question?
Ask a question.
What I want to know is, Dick Cheney ignores...
good intelligence that conflicts with his assumption...
or does he only get intelligence the bad one?
The vice president is lying.
Thank you, thank you very much.
What? What's wrong? What did he say? </ P>
He lied. </ P>
- He lied. - Cheney lied. </ P>
- Cheney's lies! - Cheney's lies! </ P>
- He is lying! John! - He's lying! </ P>
John! </ P>
Where is he? </ P>
We start. We start. </ P>
- He lied. - He lied. </ P>
Cheney lied. </ P>
Where did this come from? </ P>
Loose Nukes. </ P>
Good. </ P>
Now, we know what is talking about, we have to go into...
meetings that and look for know if there are differences of opinion.
I might have a man.
Who do we know?
The Usual Suspect.
You don't want to do this in the parking garage?
If anyone serves Pad Thai, I will.
What is civil life?
My retirement goes for about four hours.
You're with Knight Ridder?
I don't even have a table yet. How do you know that?
I have my own way.
You followed what we did there?
Yes I have.
And? </ P>
You two might save yourself...
The Fourth Estate from extinction. </ P>
Mainstream media doesn't take something we run.
All confirmations should be that you need...
that you are headed for something.
What is can I do it for you?
As high as you can get us.
You have been around for a long time, Joe.
I doubt there is something there that will surprise you.
I got married once with a woman who thinks...
New Hampshire is the mother of the city of Massachusetts.
There is always something /> You don't see it coming.
What do you want to know?
All administrations don't want us to know.
You and I will < br /> eat lots of Pad Thai.
What kind of time frame what do we see?
Next month, Congress is scheduled to vote...
on whether or not gave the president...
authorization to fight.
What is the voice there?
The government thinks so.
Mr. President, 38 years ago then, me, Robert C. Byrd...
choose in Resolution Tonkin Bay.
Resolution that authorizes president to use the military...
the power to repel armed attacks...
and to prevent further communist aggression in Southeast Asia.
Joint resolution to endorse use of the United States...
force armed against Iraq must end.
Officers will call scrolls.
Mr. Biden, yes.
Mrs. Clinton, aye.
It is this resolution that provides the basis...
for American involvement in the war in Vietnam.
Mr. Kerry, aye.
Mr. Lieberman, aye.
Mr. Lott, aye .
That is this resolution...
which caused the death of 58,000 Americans.
Mr. McCain, aye.
Mr. McConnell, sir.
i>
After all the massacres, we began to learn that in choosing...
for the resolution of Tonkin Bay...
we base our voice on bad information.
And history repeats itself.
Mr. Santorum, aye.
I urge the senators to get off at Capital Mall...
and see the Vietnam Memorial.
Almost every day, you will find someone on the wall. ..
cry for loved ones.
Mr. Sessions, aye.
I will always remember the words of Senator Wayne Morse. </ P>
He stated, "The resolution will pass and the senator...
" Those who choose him will live to regret it. "
We have K- 10, we have Dixie, we don't need other sources. </ P>
You know we got this. </ P>
Look, when you accuse defense secretary...
run the unit shadow intelligence...
quit the Pentagon, it's good to have a small insurance.
That's all I say.
Okay, let's share with the whole class.
Do you want to tell them?
Earlier today, I called to the Pentagon.
By whom?
Rumsfeld, Ol & apos; Limp Dick sent a message saying...
"All your sources is retired general. "
And I said, " All respect, sir...
"80% of my sources are military active."
"Some of them work in this building...
" And some of these they really work for your staff. "
" And hell, one or two of them may even be in this room. "
Are you really have a source in that room?
No, but it's fun seeing it sweating like a prostitute in the church.
How close are we to getting something we can run
in the Special Plan Office?
Well, we already...
No, we will only check some more sources.
What's wrong with the source you have?
We just want to make sure.
You know, you sit in the story like this, burst dams.
Let's continue this , okay, kid?
When will you finish?
Only a few minutes, baby.
I can't sleep with computer lights.
Actually, I'm done.
So, what are you doing?
Rumsfeld has a group < Intel secrets that will...
around the CIA to make war cases.
What is this, Jonathan?
What ?
Have you ever talked about this on the phone?
Yes of course.
Continue?
- They will hear you. - Vlatka.
You wrote about the dispute between spy agents.
I see?
They are agents spy, Jonathan.
They listen to your calls , they read your email.
They might tap this house.
You are being paranoid.
You are naive.
This is not Yugoslavia, this is America.
p>
America has changed.
War is a big business for them.
You're blocking them, they will kill you.
dear , you're ridiculous. OK? Come on. </ P>
Don't you understand? </ P>
You know what these people can do? </ P>
You have a family! </ P> >
Vlatka. Vlatka! </ P>
Oh, someone is struggling. What's the problem? </ P>
Oh, Vlatka keeps me awake all night. </ P>
All right! </ P>
No, it's not like that. That is a conspiracy theory. </ P>
About what? </ P>
Oh... he thinks the government is watching over us. </ P>
I mean, that silly.
John, you have to see this.
Oh, wait a minute.
Arthur, I really don't want to do this conversation again.
He hung up. What is that? </ P>
What do we do? </ P>
- You bastard. - You're a coward. </ P>
You're a much bigger woman. </ P>
p>
Shut up, will you stop it, you are still a child.
- you're... - Shut up!
UN Security Council Resolution today...
can be summarized into four words, the clock keeps ticking.
The only Iraqi alternative to full compliance, President Bush...
by Iraq will happen.
The only question for the Iraqi regime is to decide how.
Bastard. </ P>
They beat us up. </ P>
But they lost the core why the unit was founded. </ P>
It doesn't matter, they get news.
With what?
There is nothing about cherry intelligence.
There is nothing about go through other institutions.
We can still run it.
John, no one will notice...
to the second story explain all that.
We have it.
Damn, Walcott will be upset.
Maybe he hasn't seen it yet.
How could he haven't spoken with us all day?
He gave us silent treatment.
Oh, shit, he came.
Oh, Jesus.
You have a story.
Never forget how it feels defeated.
The only information that Congress gets...
comes directly from administration.
Iraq is a country great about the size of France...
if they want to hide their weapons of mass destruction...
they will be able to do it.
They won't think of returning their positions...
unless they are equipped with independent intel .
No one is supported authorization for war...
in Congress, in Iraq, not president...
I'm sure I'll go to war only because he wants to go to war.
Rumsfeld tried to sell this idea that an Iraqi...
intelligence officers offered safe haven bin Laden on & apos; 99.
Yes. </ P>
Well, if that offer really happened...
bin Laden would have ordered Saddam go alone. </ P>
What did you make from statements made...
by the Iraqi government that Iraq has no weapons...
mass destruction and not developing?
They lie.
Next.
Your daughter is very beautiful.
Well, I wish I
> can take credit.
He got it from his mother.
Dad, can I buy you something?
- Oh, no thanks, baby. - Mr. Strobel?
- I'm fine. - All right.
Tom and I just talked about your last article.
Oh yeah?
Looks like you didn't trust politicians.
Well, that is the rule of quite strong journalism. </ P>
Even when they talk about war? </ P>
Especially when they talk about war.
Do you really believe there are no WMD?
Our names are in the article.
They don't say that there is no WMD. </ P>
They just said that the administration...
had not offered any proof about WMD. </ P>
And you don't think they will find it?
No, I don't.
You don't know that.
No, we don't.
But before we send children us to the possibility of their death...
don't you think administration...
has an obligation to provide proof of their reasons?
What if the evidence appears in form of mushroom clouds?
Okay, you've watched Fox News again?
Rice, Cheney, and President Bush all said the same thing.
p>
Oh, all right, then it must be true.
You're children too young to remember...
how close we are to in the nuclear war on "62.
Hell, Warren, you were born today...
President Kennedy ordered a blockade of Cuba.
The strongest enemy we know will put nuclear weapons...
90 miles off our coast.
And the next day, Kennedy sent Adlai Stevenson to the United States...
to offer evidence that the missile was there.
Not only Fox News. </ P>
This is the Washington Post. This is The New York Times. </ P>
Hell, evidence comes from every major media channel...
in this country, except yours.
Fine.
Uh, I thought I forgot hamburger buns, excuse me.
I will take a beer. </ P>
Jesus, Father. </ P>
Are you okay, bro? </ P>
Yes. </ P>
Are we good reporter?
What?
I mean, do we do something...
besides practicing good journalism?
No, we did what we should...
Then, why are we the only one...
running these damn stories?!
He just wants you to see all sides of him...
before you take him to the next level .
Almost three months ago, United Nations...
The Security Council gave Saddam Hussein...
His last chance to disarm.
Intelligence officials we estimate...
that Saddam Hussein has material to produce...
What is the point of doing US weapons inspection...
Are Bush and Cheney only going to ignore the results?
Now, when you create your own reality...
it's quite easy to ignore the facts.
And what is it? Due diligence too uncomfortable...
for mainstream media at this time?
When news is the center of profit...
Access becomes a currency.
Exactly.
I'm proud of you, John.
Why?
Because it's not shaky.
It must be difficult.
That's not too difficult. </ P>
I know who their source is and I know who our source is. </ P>
"Iraqi dissidents are pacified in talks with Bush....
"About the Paska-Hussein Era."
By Judith Miller.
He will quote carnival forecasters... </ p >
if he wants to say Iraq has WMD.
We have to dig into its declaration...
national intelligence estimates...
p>
and find out if there are gems there.
what they edit from the secret version.
Oh, what happened with Chalabi?
We are in it.
I'll watch over my old boss.
- I have feelings. - Yes...
Colin might be the last person to stand up > between peace and war.
Yes.
Fuck it!
Damn!
Angela, does the mayor arrange dating...
for fundraising yet?
Hey, Arthur, I'm really wrong.
Your head isn't really < br /> like your ass.
It's always fun seeing you, John...
but please wait outside?
You know, that pretty bad you ignore all our work...
but the fact that you run this crap...
Judy Miller's cut doesn't ring.
It's not here, John. Okay, please?
Let's take it in my office. Excuse me. </ P>
Jesus
Look, this hurt may appear...
I did not answer for you, John. </ P>
Yes, as evidenced by the fact that you still have a job.
You know what, responsibility I am for my reader.
They are citizens of the country are patriots...
they are citizens who support our troops.
And how do you do it, Arthur?
By going to The New York Times?
I don't have time for this.
No, you don't have time.
You don't have time.
You know, one day, The New York Times...
will apologize to the reader.
And when that day arrives, will you write your own apology?
Or you will just <
Have a nice day, John.
It starts to look like more like...
war with Iraq is inevitable.
The Showdown with Iraq and countdown for speech...
by the Minister of Foreign Affairs Country Colin Powell...
who can move the world closer to war.
There isn't much left for the soldiers to do but wait...
for the attack command, Ryan The Chillcoat reports...
Itu sangat membuat frustrasi.
I don't know that I can do what you do.
You know, I've got it in my head...
that I have to climb Appalachian Trail.
I thought it would only be a good challenge for myself.
Then I saw it on the map and that like 2,200 miles.
I realize...
That it will take a lifetime?
Yes.
Or we can walk together.
I'll hold you back for that.
Resistance around the world is increasing...
against US military intervention into Iraq.
From US cities to Europe and the Middle East...
demonstrators have descended to the way in opposition...
to the United States & apos; threats to attack Iraq.
Mr. Strobel, Landay, how are you doing?
- Hello. - I'm Entifadh Qanbar. </ P>
- Hi. - Now, please, follow me. </ P>
Who is this guy? </ P>
Guys who usually deliver pizza. I'm not kidding. </ P>
Minister Chalabi, Mr. Jonathan landay...
and Warren Strobel from Knight Ridder News. </ P>
Gentlemen, welcome. </ P>
Hey. Thank you for finally agreeing to meet us. </ P>
I'm very busy. </ P>
Talk to our competitors. </ P>
I talk to anyone < br /> who wants to talk to me.
After all, I don't need to hide...
more than you can I say to Saddam.
Okay, alright, because you brought it...
I thought we might talk about what...
You know about the weapon and how does he hide it.
He has WMD and he hides it, which I know.
Right, and you know that's the way?
I know everything happened in my country.
Even though Iraq hasn't been a country You have been for more than a decade?
I may be an outcast, < but I'm still an Iraqi.
Well, I think the point my colleague is trying to make...
is how you, enemy Saddam , in exile...
have access to information valuable like that?
I maintain close relationships...
with intelligence sources dissident.
Is there a way to verify that?
No.
Look, it's a problem for us...
because we can't write stories...
I want what America wants , Free and democratic Iraq.
With you as its leader?
If the Iraqi people want I will return, yes.
I want the opportunity to help rebuild my country...
as did Mandela in South Africa. </ P>
But Mandela did not ask the US. to attack his country.
He doesn't fight terrorists.
With all due respect, that's where the red flag...
begins to rise for us .
Do you imply that I have made fake narratives...
for my own pursuit?
Are there other reasons why < > You made fake narratives? </ P>
Aku tidak berbohong!
Saddam Hussein has cellular chemicals...
and a biological weapons laboratory.
He has a nuclear program. He has a relationship with terrorists.
And if you don't trust me, just ask the others...
defectors and hear what they say.
They will all tell you the same thing. </ P>
Don't all of them get information from you? </ P>
If you wonder why need For a long time for me...
to meet you, this is an arrogant attitude.
You have no intention of reporting what I have said.
Do you want us to just be your cheerleader?
All right, I think we have to go.
Thank you for your time.
Now I understand why there isn't who reads anything you write.
I'm a supporter for the removal of a cruel dictator...
for a free Iraq, Iraq which is an day will be a close ally...
to your country, to Israel, and to the entire Western world.
And how will this happen after Saddam Hussein leaves? </ P>
Alright, let's, landay. </ P>
No, no, no, he says the world will be more well...
but he didn't say how.
How to get rid of Saddam Hussein...
did not throw Iraq into the /> bloody civil war?
Tell us something that makes sense...
whatever makes sense, and we will write the story today.
You can't!
Because you don't know what happened next.
- And nothing else. - John. John! </ P>
I'd rather go back and write for my high school paper...
than use it by you...
to sell the public Your nonsense. </ P>
All right. </ P>
By the way, that is Knight Ridder.
Foreign Minister Colin's country Powell will make a case...
against Iraq at the address national television...
to the UN Security Council.
Looks like they brought it closer.
Mr. Secretary, are you sure...
You will make your case, sir?
You will see.
What game have we played?
All we do is pee into the wind.
We do our work.
I shouldn't be being a reporter.
Damn Woodward and Bernstein. </ P>
They dropped a president whose biggest crime...
is trying to cover up some dirty political tricks. </ P >
This president will do the worst of any president...
can do it and he might be re-elected.
For democratic experiments .
Thank you, Mr. President.
My colleagues, every statement I made today...
is supported by the source, a solid source.
Gravity is currently matched with gravity...
from the threat that weapons Iraqi mass destruction...
pose to the world.
That it is set, everything is set up.
Tenet sends Powell a stack of files as high as this...
that supports the invasion.
Saddam Hussein was determined...
to get a nuclear bomb.
Cheney sent Scooter Libby...
to encourage the three main arguments in those files.
One: the violation of Saddam's human rights...
that everyone knows
Two: its relationship with Al Qaeda, the Powell...
of course, throw right in the trash.
And the third one focuses on Iraqi WMD. </ P>
Leaving Saddam Hussein having weapons...
mass destruction for a few months or more years...
is not an option, not in the world after 9/11.
For four days, Powell made every CIA officer...
defend every so-called proof in those files.
He dumped 80% of them.
At the end of four days...
Powell saw the right Tenet in the eye and said...
"George, can we stand in each of these words?"
And Tenet said, "Everything in there is gold, I promise you. "
For what Powell answered, " Yes, that's good, George.
"I'm glad you feel like , because you will be... .
"Sit behind me when I present this to the world."
We cannot fail in our duties and responsibilities...
to citizens... </ p >
represented by this body.
Colin took one for the team.
Always a good soldier.
Is the Iraqi regime completely...
and unconditionally disarmed?
The only acceptable result < br /> is what has been defined...
unanimously from the Security Council.
Total disarmament.
United Kingdom, Spain and America States have introduced...
new resolutions stating that Iraq has failed to meet...
the requirements of Resolution 1441.
This is a fact, that cannot be denied.
And what's wrong with giving...
Saddam's last ultimatum?
A two or three day deadline for disarming or facing violence?
September 11 changed strategic thinking...
at least as far as I knew...
for how to protect our country.
My job is protecting the American people.
We used to think that you could contain...
someone like Saddam Hussein...
that the ocean will protect us from the type of terror.
September 11 must say to the American people...
Hello?
You need to pack your bag.
Good.
In the hands of terrorist organizations... </ p >
can be used here at home.
King, John King. This is a script...
Thank you, Mr. President.
Sir, how will you answer your critics say they are...
They think this is somehow how personal?
As said Senator Kennedy tonight...
He said your fixation with Saddam Hussein...
made the world become a more dangerous place .
And when you prepare people America for the possibility...
military conflict, can you share with us...
one of the scenarios that your advisor has shared...
with you about the worst case scenario?
You made sure... this country knows what happened out there.
- Yes? - I will.
I swear to protect and defend the Constitution.
He has weapons mass destruction...
and he has used weapons of mass destruction.
He has been trained and financed...
the previous al-Qaeda organization.
I take it seriously the threat, and I will face the threat.
I hope this can be done peacefully.
They hate what we stand for.
We love freedom, and we don't change.
Mr. President, millions of Americans can...
remember when the leaders of the two sides set this country...
on the change mission regime in Vietnam.
50,000 Americans died. </ p >
The regime is still in Hanoi and it doesn't hurt...
or threatens one American person in 30 years. ..
since the war ended.
What can you say tonight, sir, to sons and daughters...
Americans who served in Vietnam to convince them that...
You won't lead this country to the same road in Iraq?
That's a good question.
No doubt, there is a risk with any military operation.
I know that.
This is a good thing he can utilize all the experience he gets...
while not on duty on the National Guard. </ P>
But very it's clear what we want to do.
And our mission will not change.
It can survive, You know, six days, six weeks...
I doubt six months.
There are many money to pay for this...
it doesn't have to be US taxpayer money.
We deal with countries that can really finance...
own reconstruction, and relatively fast.
There will always be uncertainty...
about how fast he can obtain nuclear weapons. ..
but we don't want weapons to smoke into mushroom clouds.
Do you think Americans...
prepared for battles that are long, expensive, and bloody...
with significant American victims ?
I don't think that might be revealed like that, Tim...
because I truly believe we will be welcomed as liberators.
Six weeks after the war begins, the President...
is set to deliver a very careful speech...
on an aircraft carrier in the Pacific.
My friends are American, main combat operations...
in Iraq has ended.
In the Iraq war, the United States...
and our allies have won.
I want to go there.
They are the first to die.
Are you there?
Thank you.
Thank you, son.
Jonathan, how does it feel, therefore...
is the only person who hinders this truth and fact?
It's very quiet and what makes it really...
from the irony is... </ p >
that every time we write something...
the White House won't say anything, because we realize...
after a while will be the best...
advertise for our story which we might be able to ask.
There is a problem with journalism...
in Washington, which is access.
And The New York Times and others have access to the top...
officials who turn this line.
We talked to those people, too...
but most of them our report , Christiane...
with intelligence, military...
and diplomatic middle level...
- Level which is lower? - Lower level.
This type of journalist usually doesn't talk or leave afterwards. i>
Can I give a little credit, too, to...
who is our current boss, John Walcott.
Higher levels of civilization ...
must depend more...
on careful respect for the importance of honesty...
and clarity in reporting the facts and leaving stubborn...
concern for the accuracy of in determining what the facts are.
We need to find a way to cover the world so...
we know what is happening out there... .
that we know the truth about that...
so we can avoid mistakes...
mistakes like Iraq.
Intelligence like that.
You know, people like I can't redeem it.
What intelligence doesn't like...
and not everyone is wrong.
Almost everyone does it, except Knight Ridder.
