Probably should've asked for a lot more.
I just thought 40,000 sounded like a reasonable number.
There's no reasonable number, Glen, except perhaps zero.
That's a reasonable number. Zero.
I thought you understood that.
Yeah, this "no more troops" thing, is that coming from the president, or coming from you?
- Of course it's coming from the president.
- Ah.
Why would it be coming from me?
Why do I care if we send more troops over there or we don't?
I don't know, Dick.
I'm just trying to work this thing out.
The president gave me a job to do.
- This is what I need to get it done.
