One would always choose to mull these things over in the... the sensible calm of the proper quiet places.
But this war is tough. War is tough.
And... And the president has tough decisions to make.
How many times have you spoken to the president since you've been here?
Since I've been here in Afghanistan, leading ISAF?
Yes.
Uh... Once. I've spoken to the president once.
By video teleconference.
You've spoken to the president once in, what, 70 days?
That's right.
You're the leader of US forces in Afghanistan, and you have spoken to the president once in 70 days?
- Yes, ma'am.
- Why is that?
Uh... I don't know. Uh... I'm guessing he's... very busy.
Probably.
What the f***'s the matter with you, Glen?
Are you out of your mind?
One second we're dealing with this so-called f***ing leak, the next you're on the f***ing television backing the president into the most ham-fisted corner I've ever seen.
I honestly believe you've made it your sole mission to f*** me.
Well, Dick, I answered the questions that were asked of me.
- I thought I was being fair.
- It's not a question of fair, Glen.
It's a question of what the f*** were you doing on the television?
