in an organization of news.

Worried by news,

to a news unit.

Concerned with answers and the ratings.

A sh*t, and the wise thing.

When I saw my contract, wise that that

he/she wanted and I planned to be able to have autonomy.

I thought that they were still committed,

... to the news but...

Janine, please sit down.

Thank you to say that.

It is the true.

How I can...

... to verify those

results of this mission?

Not it will involve to the press in this?

- No!

Not it will be this way, the forces

special they travel quick.

But I can give him/her the infrared video.

That this well, they are very

popular in the Internet.

And the details you those

I will give directly me.

Thank you, allow me to put an end to the courtesy.

You, really?

In the worst in the cases.

The operation points don't work.

They worked.

The president or you

did he/she think of increasing the troops?

To support the strategy

if it is necessary.

The reputation of the I exercise

this very low one now.

Maybe he/she will have to send to those

boys that didn't sign to go.

Military obligatory service?

No, we don't need it.

We have all that that

we need to enter now.

Except that the public doesn't make it.

There it is where your you enter.

But like we know that

will it leave well well this?

People don't trust.

After September 11

we had to the world on our behalf.

And now 6 years later, we are in one

of the worst moments in the history.

We go, the exaggeration won't make...

We go, nobody this monitoreando

our patriotism.

You have to admit that this it is

one of the moments but difficult,

... to wave our

flag, people need...

A victory, people,

the president, me.

We all need to win in Afghanistan.

To win him/her will allow to the one

public that concentrates.

To win will make that the congress

speak again instead of screaming.

I will tell to people in Afghanistan.

That cannot be known.

And he/she helps to their party.

Because we have a party

that it represents the security.

The power of this country you

he/she knows as the party that,

... it demonstrates that we are capable

of finishing our fight.

- To finish?

- Do you want to win?

- What?

- Do you want to win the war against the terror?

If or not? If or not?

It is very wide...

It is the question that guides us.

It is definitive, if you stop you will die.

The only option for United States...

It excuses.

When?

Ammunition.

All they have left ammunition?

How could he/she know?

I believe that they want that they enter to their area.

Stay informed.

Alone you cover me, he/she takes care of your ammunition.

I will tell you of what I get tired...

Let us get tired that they humiliate me.

We have allowed that

threaten to our country,

... for these tribes in taparrabos.

And he/she will end.

Do you realize what we have?

Of what we are capable?

God knows...

I break the heart

to request to the soldiers,

... that they take a risk its

life for this victory.

But you that there is not another form.

Not with this enemy,

not with their beliefs.

But alone I can give them to

the families of the soldiers,

... the absolute conviction.

That at least we attempt it.

Now, I don't see none

transaction, I don't see it.

That is the question.

My notes please?

Is this your strategy?

It is him/her product of a new one

school of military thought.

And your you are the new school.

The president listens to you but

that to the defense secretary.

Then?

If he/she is successful, you put him/her your name,

... it is a good form

of leaving the bundle.

and their party him

he/she wanted as president.

I believe that you make a mistake,

I don't want to be a president.

This can help, it is one

great history, and it is yours.

This is my direct telephone,

you call me if you have questions.

Thank you.

As it is necessary.

Do you have idea of how many they are?

A dozen maybe.

Tell to the bombardier that continues

shooting until he/she is not able to but.

The rescue team this to 6 minutes.

We will return later.

Can they see each other?

Why did they leave?

Not you.

Then he/she wants him to make

one of their projects.

Although I sound as

a fairy tale.

- Did he/she give them one TO for that reason?

- I gave them a B+.

- What?

- A B+, bad statistical.

If, I listen to it, why not me

does he/she speak of those that had one TO?

Then the attendance is

but important that the notes?

You already know the secret.

He/she calls himself potential and believe me

that it is better than having one TO.

Of the one that you forgot in some years.

That sounds to what you/they say

the mediocre ones for...

No, that is pretty, but anything.

Maybe both had medals.

Not to leave it.

Your the mndaste there?

I already told it to you, be about stopping them.

Revealing the reasons

for those that made it.

I should listen to it, for

this address that gives me.

Although the two of those that he/she speaks to me.

They didn't listen to him/her and they were and

they made what you/they will make.

Maybe, maybe this throwing the load.

Because, how common he/she finds to

a student that is worthwhile?

and how often flaw in convincing him?

Once he/she found it.

In fact the failure

it began 10 or 15 years ago.

The truth is that taenia

these meetings in the park.

Your, seated students in front of my.

Because we are but intelligent,

we see like everything works.

Not we want to die for this sh*t.

If you want to distance yourself of the one

real world as it is possible.

And these shits, by the way

how many times you will say it.

They feed of your

apathy, of your ignorance.

They plan strategies with that.

They think like they can achieve with that.

Then accuse me.

Accuse me because I want

to live a good life.

Because I can and because I am intelligent.

You want to accuse me because

don't I want to work with you?

In a collective bottom.

It sounds too much as my parents.

They always speak of as giving me one

life better than which you/they had.

And be they torment for that enjoy it.

Is a check of 90 thousand dollars how well?

Not there is enough gasoline

for the streets and the cities.

Or the fact of investing us in a third world.

If all that you say of the one

congress and the politics.

If the things are as bad as they say.

Then thousands of American

they are dead and but they die,

... maybe while we speak.

Say I eat up you can

to enjoy the good life.

Rome this in flames.

And the problem is not who began him.

They already left, the one

problem is us, all.

That we don't make anything that

we are about avoiding the bad thing.

And there are there out in the entire world people.

That they fight so that everything is better.

He/she believes that it is better to fail

attempting it that to try to fail?

If.

But which is the difference

if you finish in the same place?

It guides you to something.

Thank you to play.

A single time, one hour.

One hour, God, is one
