There's no doubt that Stalin's
pact with Mao Tse-tung...
1:43:05
pledges that the Soviet A-bomb backs the
Chinese if we should tangle with them.
1:43:10
You mentioned Chinese intervention.
Is there any chance of that?
1:43:13
Mr. President,
you must have...
1:43:16
more complete intelligence
on that matter than I have.
1:43:19
- Anything that I would say would be purely speculative.
- Of course.
1:43:23
I'm sure that you
also realize that...
1:43:25
any question
involving China...
1:43:27
requires a political evaluation,
not simply a military one.
1:43:31
Our intelligence
on the Chinese is limited.
1:43:35
They're believed to have
about 300,000 men in Manchuria,
1:43:40
but I doubt they could get more than 50,000 across
the Yalu River.
1:43:44
They'd be highly vulnerable
to our air attacks.
1:43:47
So in my opinion, the chances
of Red intervention...
1:43:52
are minimal.
1:43:54
And if they were to try
to get down to the parallel,
1:43:56
they'd be walking into disaster,
a crushing defeat.
1:44:10
Well, I've, uh... I've never had
a more satisfactory conference...
1:44:14
since I've been president.
1:44:16
General MacArthur is a member of
the government of the United States,
1:44:19
and he's loyal to that government
and to the United Nations,
1:44:22
and he's loyal to the president
and his foreign policy,
1:44:24
and he's confident that the
fighting in Korea will soon be over.
1:44:35
Hey! What the hell is this?
1:44:38
Turkey!
Real turkey!
1:44:41
What'd you expect,
shithead? It's Thanksgiving.
1:44:45
Best thing about Thanksgiving
is eating white meat!
1:44:50
I tell you, if I had my
way...
