: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.

:57:01
Mary?
:57:02
Is there anything
about the C-STAD weapon system...

:57:04
...that could have been mistaken
as offensive rather than defensive?

:57:09
No. We did everything
but show them the blueprints.

:57:11
The hardware had been sitting
in an airplane hangar for a month.

:57:15
They didn't hit it
until the American personnel arrived.

:57:18
Sir, there's an unconfirmed report
that you were with Sydney Wade...

:57:21
...when you learned of the attack.
:57:23
- Can you comment?
- We had dinner.

:57:24
- Get him off.
- Last question.

:57:27
Sir, would you comment
on your relationship?

:57:30
We don't have a relationship,
we just had dinner. Thank you.

:57:33
Did she spend the night
at the White House?

:57:35
Folks, a lot of people were killed last night.
:57:39
Let's try to keep our eye on the ball, okay?
Thank you.

:57:44
It's my fault, sir.
We should have prepped you.

:57:46
There's nothing that needs prepping. A.J.?
:57:49
Let's meet with the leadership
after we meet the Security Council.

:57:52
Newsweek is begging
for ten minutes today.

:57:54
Nobody gets ten minutes today.
:57:57
Tell the Speaker to wait.
I want to talk to him.

:57:59
No, I'll be right down.
