to take a social life...

... at the same time of the studies

to have good education?

I believe that a should be made

balance if you want to be here.

I also think when I smile,

in those boys of the forces,

being about justifying their 30

thousand a year for all those seas.

Let us see, my friend.

You passed the exams,

but, alone you came to

that is an entire record, alone

we see each other once a week.

Then, my attendance is

does it leave of the evaluation, not?

Of what do you speak?

You should win a good qualification

for the rest of the semester,

Not more, not less, alone

a solid B of blue color.

I can give you that.

Right here, now.

It is a sh*t.

Why?

Because you won't come to another class,

for not to write or to read

a word that assigns you,

for not writing in none of my

classes for the rest of your time.

Would it be for anything, not?

You know the ideas, this meeting finished.

The whole class would kill for this treatment.

But I am not meeting

with none of them.

I understand that ago.

Here there is another treatment, of two parts,

both not negotiable.

The first part...

... you will appear every day, to

all the classes, starting from now.

And the second, you will sit down beside those

last two boys that can help you.

Maybe that explains for

what I called you this morning.

You have the reflections of a fetus.

How you don't have him/her more fear

to the shots and the bullets?

Because I have written "bullets"

in my balls. Did you understand that?

This is a call of the high control...

Yes, it is a call of the high control.

But this call is for

the future that we have left.

It is alone a sample of how we solve

the military problems first.

Our soldiers of Forces

Special they have gone into enough...

... and they will occupy the position

before they think it,

disabling the enemy's mobility.

And the military part has

that to arrive first. Why?

Because alone after

let us eradicate the enemy,

we will be able to carry out our

plan of making a new democracy.

So it is basically to kill

people to help people.

No.

Not it is what I said, the enemy I said.

You are leaving yourself the context.

I sit down it, alone it tried of...

- Yes, I know it...

- Good, we continue,

in the 2002 you said something as:

... the talibanes retires, we broke

its center, had many applause...

Fulfilled, smaller mission.

An error.

Error?

Because now we know that

the enemy was destroyed,

but it continued alive and we also know...

... that the enemy learned the

lesson of that first setback.

Not it is this way, it would be the second setback.

We would abandon this

meeting if I don't accept it?

It will be this way the rest of

the hour in captivity?

Alone I am asking questions.

Senator Irving, alone

give me an example of the...

... enemy learning the lesson.

They refused to the fact that

we were offering them friendship.

And the history has demonstrated that you

do they punish that behavior class, not?

So we throw this new one

strategy using to the military ones...

... as the entrance blow.

To take their heights is key.

Where he/she wants that we are, us

he/she gives the ability to observe,

the possibility to attack and

the opportunity to preside over.

To preside over?

As the Romans with their strong ones.

You establish a constant presence

or you will have constant violence.

Then, we will be there

for the good, as the Romans?

I said constant, not permanent.

We have to have patience and

determination to solve these urgencies.

With the simple duration and the security

of building schools and clinical...

But, when will we make all this?

Good question, we are in it.

Not we can wait to that

they decide to give us access,

we have put this new one

strategy to work now.

Why now?

Why doesn't one year make?

Or two years, or three years?

For two reasons.

The first reason.

The satellites found that

they were full with ammunition.

There is a market over there.

Everybody knows that, alone

googlea Depredador or Global Hawk.

The second reason is ugly.

Ugly? What is that?

A code stops outside of recording.

A small parenthesis, yes.

Of agreement.

Iran.

Iran. What are they making now?

They are building nuclear weapons,

negotiating with North Korea,

and to count for their record. Them not

do they know like a true holocaust is?

They are traveling from Wa jabee to Afghanistan

using the more direct possible road.

Crossing from side to side to Iran.

Is that confirmed?

He/she has not refused,

they prove their true ideas

of the new access to the wickedness.

two countries are becoming in...

... comrades to be able to kill

more American in more places.

Do we continue without registering?

Because this is really a history.

That is negotiable.

You see what I say.

They are radical with its

union in against our.

We have to remind to the town

American who are their enemies.

They have tests that you is

uniting in against our,

or you are saying that it is a potential...

No, don't underestimate our

fear that this happens.

This is a significant threat

for the security of our nation...

... and you can believe me this.

Now that they have potential

nuclear, simply we are not able to...

When you say nuclear it seems

kind of a statement...

You position shows certain lust.

Mine not.

It is my responsibility, it is part of my work

to describe it stops to protect to the American town.

It is for this reason that there are

carried out this mission.

When will it begin?

Hands up.

Mr., they are 2 minutes.

Load their weapons.

There is a fair space there.

Are you sure of what you say?

Of foot.

It is not well Mister,

there is rusty wire.

They are 23 millimeters that we will bury ourselves.

Rusty and pointed, inoperable.

Pointed? Who does say?

We won't be able to rush.

What?

If we rush we won't achieve this way it.

Mr., I have seen this type of

I jump from the air the whole time.

Let us fly over this inhospitable place.

Wounded man, wounded man.

We are losing altitude.

Give me your things, give me your things.

Having Foreman, Tte. Foreman.

Earth, earth.

What did he/she tell me that it was?

Artist, Aryan music.

As masterizar that music.

We concentrate on the why.

To what do you refer?

Are you the doctor, hey?

What?

He/she already knows, that class of

people, alone it can be...

... African-American American.

What does ago that differ?

Concentrate on the American part.

Of agreement.

So they do play ball, hey?

It is the only form that you

they can allow to come here.

They are this way the players.

You want to walk with two

types different to me?

What?

You know, the professors

they are teachers that sell.

Of agreement, what do you sell?

To you for you.

You know that not.

Not he/she has to do me any favor, doc.

Why is that, Tom?

Why you don't have

that to do me favors?

Why he/she already is not interested?

How does he/she know that I was interested before?
