:22:00
Ifyou'll excuse me, sir.
:22:10
Sir, I must askyou for the key and the
recall code. Haveyou got them handy?
:22:15
I told you to take it easy,
Group Captain.
:22:18
There's nothing anybody can do now.
:22:21
I'm the only person who knows
the three-letter code group.
:22:23
I must insist
thatyou give them to me!
:22:35
Do I take it, sir, you are threatening
a brother officerwith a gun?
:22:40
Mandrake, I suppose
it never occurred toyou...
:22:45
that while we're chatting here
so enjoyably...
:22:49
a decision is being made
by the president...
:22:53
and thejoint chiefs in the War Room
at the Pentagon.
:22:57
When they realize there is
no possibility ofrecalling the Wing...
:23:03
there will be only one course
ofaction open.
:23:07
Total commitment.
:23:11
Mandrake, doyou recall what
Clemenceau once said about war?
:23:17
No, I don't think I do, sir. No.
:23:21
He said warwas too important
to be left to the generals.
:23:25
When he said that 50 years ago...
:23:30
he might have been right.
:23:32
But today...
:23:35
war is too important
to be left to politicians.
:23:38
They have neither the time,
the training...
:23:43
nor the inclination
for strategic thought.
:23:49
I can no longer sit back
and allow...
:23:53
Communist infiltration,
Communist indoctrination...
:23:58
Communist subversion...
