:54:03
Excuse me.
:54:11
I'm sorry, ma'am.
:54:12
Oh, no, of course.
:54:20
We're gonna have to cut our evening short.
The Libyans have just bombed C-STAD.

:54:24
I'll try to call you in the morning.
Would you please show Ms.Wade out?

:54:30
The response scenario's in place.
:54:33
The F-18s are fired up
on the Nimitz and the Kitty Hawk.

:54:36
They're just waiting
for your attack order, Mr.President.

:54:40
And we're going to hit
Libyan Intelligence Headquarters?

:54:43
The NSA confirmed they're the ones
who planned the bombing.

:54:46
And what's the estimate?
:54:48
We'll level the building.
:54:51
Libyan I.H.Q. looks like it's in the center
of Tripoli. What else are we going to hit?

:54:56
Nothing, unless we miss.
:54:58
Are we going to miss?
:55:00
No, sir.
:55:04
How many people work in the building?
:55:06
We went through this.
:55:07
How many people work
in the damn building?

:55:09
I have the numbers here, Mr.President.
There are three shifts.

:55:13
The fewest. What shift has
the fewest people? The night shift?

:55:16
By far, sir. Mostly custodial staff--
:55:19
What time does the night shift start?
:55:22
They're on now, sir.
:55:31
A.J.?
:55:33
Sir, it's immediate...
:55:35
...it's decisive, it's low-risk...
:55:37
...and it's a proportional response.
:55:40
Someday someone has to explain to me
the virtue of a proportional response.

:55:47
Mr.President?
:55:49
Attack.
:55:53
Once our planes have cleared
Libyan airspace, you can call the press.

:55:56
But I don't know
when we'll have the full B.D.A.

:55:59
- General Rork says around 0800.
- 0800?
