Transcription
I'm glad you're here. Sit down. Can I get you anything? No. Come on. Sit down. I would prefer to stand, sir. Some things have gone on here That I'm just becoming aware of. I was kept in the dark-- As you were-- for a very long time. Troubling things. Yeah. And now we have to sort them out. We have to figure out who is responsible for what And what to do about it, And we have to do this very delicately, Otherwise people might get the wrong idea. We have to lie. Did I say that? No, you didn't. You're upset. I'm upset. Well, it's understandable. Do you mind if I give you a bit of advice? Of course, you know this because you're a smart guy. You should never make important decisions while you're upset. You did, And american soldiers and innocent civilians Are dead because of it. I never ordered any... No, don't even think about playing that game with me. I will not let you dishonor their memories By pretending you had nothing to do with it. How dare you come in here and lecture me? How dare you, sir? How dare you come into this office And bark at me like some little junkyard dog? I am the president of the United States! It gives me no pleasure to do it, sir. As acting deputy director of intelligence, It is my duty to report this matter To the senate oversight committee.
