战争机器 War Machine (2017) Movie Script

Oh?

Okay, fine. Uh... - That's fair. My apologies.

- Hmm.

- Have you settled in, Glen?

- No, Pat, I haven't.

Seems to me that too much settling in might somehow be at the heart of the problem we have here.

Small talk.

Should've gone with the weather.

Glen, the president wants you to get the lay of the land here.

This war's been running eight years now.

President Obama, as you know, is drawing down troops in Iraq to refocus our attention on Afghanistan.

Henry Whelan was a good man, he meant well, but he just wasn't getting the job done.

Now, given your reputation and your formidable drive, our hope is that you're the man who will get the job done.

First things first. We want you to make an assessment of the situation here.

Travel the country, talk to people.

At the end of that assessment, you'll tell us what needs to be done, how you're gonna get it done and what you need in order to get it done.

- So, now- - To that end... - I'm sorry.

- Oh, you go.

- I thought you were finished.

- You go.

- You sure?

- You go.

- I thought you were finished.

- No.

To that end... uh, now is probably a good time to share with you where the president hopes that assessment might land.
