to choose between two admittedly
regrettable...
:34:03
but nevertheless distinguishable
postwar environments.
:34:06
One, where 20 million people are killed;
the other, 1 50 people killed.
:34:11
You're talking about mass murder,
General, not war.
:34:14
Mr. President, I'm not saying
we wouldn't get our hair mussed.
:34:18
But I do say no more than
1 0 to 20 million killed. Tops!
:34:23
Depending on the breaks.
:34:25
I will not go down in history as
the greatest mass murderer since Hitler!
:34:29
It might be better
ifyou were more concerned...
:34:31
with the American people than
with your image in the history books.
:34:35
General Turgidson,
I've heard quite sufficient from you.
:34:38
Thankyou very much.
:34:40
Mr. President, they have
the ambassadorwaiting upstairs.
:34:43
- Good. Any difficulty?
- He's having a fit about the M.P.s.
:34:47
That can't be helped.
Have him brought here straightaway.
:34:49
Yes, sir.
:34:51
Is that the Russian ambassador?
:34:54
Yes, it is, General.
:34:58
Am I to understand
the Russian ambassador...
:35:01
is to be admitted entrance
to the War Room?
:35:03
That is correct.
He is here on my orders.
:35:09
I don't know exactly how
to put this, sir...
:35:11
but areyou aware ofwhat a breach
ofsecurity that would be?
:35:15
He'll see everything.
He'll see the big board.
:35:20
That is precisely the idea, General.
:35:22
That is precisely the idea.
:35:26
