We got the Albanian girl
with a cat, a kitten, and a dog.

l don't want a dog.
l asked for a kitten.

:28:10
l understand that,
but the pet wrangler suggested--

:28:13
l need to speak to the president
before you pick an animal.

:28:16
Can't they find me a kitten?
Listen to me.

:28:20
Albanian terrorists
have a staging area...

:28:22
for their atomic workshop.
That's why she's fleeing.

:28:25
What if it wasn't Albania?
Say it was ltaly?

:28:27
l can get a lot of cash
if it's ltaly.

:28:30
"Give them the boot."
What if a shoe was the fad?

:28:33
The little girl
is coming toward the camera.

:28:36
What does she have in her hands?
A kitten.

:28:39
Albania doesn't
do anything for me.

:28:41
That's the problem.
:28:42
-We're locked into Albania.
-Why is that?

:28:46
The president's going to war
in about 30 minutes.

:28:49
Declaring war on Albania?
:28:51
We're not declaring war.
We're going to war.

:28:53
We haven't declared war
since World War ll.

:28:55
We're going to war.

The president
of the United States...

has said he apologizes
for the need for secrecy...

:29:08
and he assures
that it is necessary...

:29:11
for the safety of the men
and women in combat.

:29:13
He says that
the Republic of Albania...

:29:16
long a staging ground
for terrorism around the world.

:29:19
He mentioned a state of war
is or is about to happen...

:29:23
between the United States
and the Republic of Albania.
