: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?
:56:03
Sir, what do you think
about a national address?
:56:05
Last thing I want to do
is put the Libyans center stage.
:56:09
I think it's a great idea.
:56:11
You know Rumson will talk about
your lack of military service.
:56:14
It's not about Rumson.
:56:16
What I did tonight
was not about political gain.
:56:19
Yes, but it can be, sir.
:56:21
What you did tonight
was very presidential.
:56:25
Leon...
:56:27
Somewhere in Libya right now...
:56:29
...a janitor's working a night shift
at Libyan Intelligence Headquarters.
:56:32
He's going about doing his job...
:56:35
...'cause he has no idea in about an hour
he's going to die in a massive explosion.
:56:44
He's just going about his job 'cause...
:56:46
...he has no idea that about an hour ago...
:56:49
...I gave an order to have him killed.
:56:53
You've just seen me do
the least presidential thing I do.
