BASE OF THE AIR FORCE DE BAGRAM

Listen.

Having Frinks,

did you make what I requested you?

I already made it, Mister.

How was it you?

I was to 15 miles of the place.

Very well. Rodrguez?

All fact, Mister.

Of agreement, I want them to take notes

because I want that they ask questions.

Good news first.

Al-Qaeda and the talibanes have you

reduced to a flock of wolves,

so they don't create all it

that they read in the newspapers.

We have been successful combatting to the one

enemy and we have weakened them...

... and we are more imposing

since we arrive here.

That is good.

The bad news, we have

that to continue combatting them,

we have to close the attack,

while we don't attack them,

stronger they become.

Remember the motto.

Never attacks for a lot

time to your enemy because...

He/she will adapt to your attack, Mister.

He/she will adapt to your

attack, that is correct.

Here the points are,

study them.

It has been reported...

... that Al-Qaeda plans to open up

a new front in this place.

Are these data up-to-date, Mister?

That is not the whole problem,

there is not there sufficiently nobody him

strong to combat this enemy,

the colonel says that we cannot leave

that these types leave now home.

Then. Why the enemy

is this making now?

What is happening is that the one

enemy intended to settle down...

... as a legitimate force of

it combats with the town, another time.

Of where they would come this people?

Van from door to door requesting him/her to

the families that you/they give to their children,

if they don't give them their children, these they are

executed in front of their families,

this it is the number one.

The second, it is Iraq.

Al-Qaeda and the talibanes are

forming a front to continue...

To continue toward where, Mister?

That cannot say it. No

I can answer that question...

They already know too much.

We are continuing to

terrorists refugees or...

... do we move to another territory, Mister?

In the city they have become stronger

and the conditions are uglier,

it is hour of hitting them

and to kick them the bottom.

Van to make an attack

air in this place of here.

We will establish a center of

operations, here, fair to their left...

... with 4 points of operations.

We will fly to 8 thousand feet of height and

we will give turns of 360 on the valley.

The enemy will want it

as much as us,

so we have orders

of taking it before them.

Chequeen their maps and their

portable localizers,

do you already have it?

- Yes Mister.

- Yes Mister.

Van to make the camp,

they will be calmed,

they won't lose temper, they go to

to wait patiently and...

... if fortunately

they face the enemy,

they will present them all the

magnitude of the American wickedness.

Are we clear?

Concluded meeting.

Are not we throwing, Mister?
