Not another thing, not how to make him/her

well to somebody, alone how to win.

Not it cares how stupid, or

how criminal you have to be...

Give me an example.

Of agreement, the one

president Kennedy is one.

He/she announced their candidacy stopping

before a great audience...

He/she was thinking of something bigger.

How what? To be a congress member?

- That is bigger.

- Oh, yes.

Super, and later I will give those trips

Those that make our laws,

I will have to be a puppet,

The type that uses 1 million of

dollars that don't belong him/her and...

... they are never discovered.

How many they are never captured.

If that is something bigger than to be

a good man with a good work,

I take it.

Yes, it is for that reason that I lost.

Almost you convince me.

Almost you convince me.

What?

You really know of

what you are speaking?

You are brilliant with the words,

but, do you know that he/she would make you better?

That you involved yourself.

Confronting me, that is

to put on in the mean, not?

You would make more than only speaking.

Ernie?

Brother.

The left part,

it is hot.

Not we should have left

to our parachutes.

The pilots?

They have been on board baleados and

they didn't land where they would should.

Where did they land?

We think that they are in the plateau.

The troops are not well,

two lost men.

Lost?

Be in charge of of that, who does it lack?

Vinch and Rodrguez.

According to the informations, they should be

in a small place of flat LZ.

They are not known if they can have survived.

Ernie?

Brother.

Jodido idiot.

How wrong are you?

He/she hears, indicate me.

I am begun.

He/she hears, he/she is Jim.

It tolerates.

How much does it delay the rescue troop?

They are here, but they have to make

a perimeter to make us know,

We won't put them in the same situation.

Put them hidden for

that they tell us that it happens.

Can we control everything?

But I don't know since time, G2 is the one

to be covered by a snowfall that he/she comes at 71mph.

It is about seeing the more than you can

for the possible biggest time.

What you tell me of

to send him/her a sign express?

I am working hard, I sent one ago

- But those...

- Code it.

Make it.

He/she wanted to speak with prostitute's son

that he/she said that this area was sure.

The Afghans cannot train,

the commands are small,

the specialized teams

they established 4 operation points.

I thought that they would be 4 operation bases,

but they are 4 operation points,

a point for if alone it is

smaller than a base.

Because it is it.

What?

I sit down it, not.

Me alone...

That sounds as putting

the bait troops.

Janine, is not as putting 1

or 2 types in the mountains.

Small it is as we decide it.

Alone they are men under those conditions.

This is the war in the

that we are put...

... and unfortunately the civilization

it is not sustained for if alone...

... if there is not an answer violence.

What does that mean? Van to

to drain the diplomatic road?

The State Department...

We will attack.

Not you respond to an attack with diplomacy.

The diplomacy is not made

with the idea of teaching.

new in the UN,

and the UN responded making 30 strong

declarations condemning their behavior.

On the other hand France, China and Russia,

the discussions continue for Sudan.

And we don't arm

But we are here now.

Yes, we are here now and not

you believe that it is imposed to analyze...

... as we arrive to this point.

How and why the matter is not now.

We have to move ahead, we are

fighting against the nickname of evil.

The 1300 years of the human progress they have

been marked by the violence and the death.

Now, if that is something that you not

that should be shown...

I, would like me him to be spoken

of that more than anyone,

but I don't understand how it is that

you don't want to look to the past,

I believe that it is decisive.

What is decisive,

what is outstanding...

... it is the implementation of this new one

strategy that we will make in this war.

A war that we cannot lose.

But we are not winning it.

Still.

This new strategy can change that.

What there is of the strategy

of bringing to the troops to house?

Then veto.

That is not an option.

Of agreement, we go...

to put it this way.

We were...

... to Afghanistan in a

beginning for the talibanes.

Alone that now the talibanes has

made of this a bigger problem...

... because they have given to

to glitter their super powers.

They pushed people that voted for
