96. We have no choice

97. Khalil Nasan is
still in Gaza?Copy !req
98. Yes, but we've been
able to link Nasan'sCopy !req
99. bombing of our
congressional delegationCopy !req
100. to the Khanjari Martyrs.Copy !req
101. The Martyrs are using the
Ein Hawa camp near DamascusCopy !req
102. as their base of operation.Copy !req
103. In Syria?Copy !req
104. E-mails and cellular
communicationsCopy !req
105. indicate that they supplied
the munitionsCopy !req
106. and the technical support
for Nasan.Copy !req
107. What are you proposing, General?Copy !req
108. Syria and Iran are the primary
supporters of the Martyrs.Copy !req
109. The Lincoln Battle Group is
moving into strike range.Copy !req
110. We can use SLAM ER missiles
against the Ein Hawa campCopy !req
111. and the two terrorist
training campsCopy !req
112. in Northern Iran
east of Birjan.Copy !req
113. And blow the summit
out of the water.
What summit?Copy !req
114. The Israelis aren't going
to meet with Farad.Copy !req
115. The region is already
a powder keg.Copy !req
116. Name one day in the last
20 centuries when it wasn't.Copy !req
117. Egypt, Jordan and the Saudis
will help us craft a dealCopy !req
118. with Farad if they think
it's fair.Copy !req
119. But the whole thing
will fall apartCopy !req
120. e start bombing
The only way to prevent
attacks against Americans abroadCopy !req
121. is to show we're willing
to respond when provoked.Copy !req
122. Bombing Syria and Iran sends a
powerful message, Mr. President.Copy !req
123. Do we have any evidence
linking Iran to Nasan?Copy !req
124. If we take
this opportunityCopy !req
125. to strike Iranian terrorist
camps, believe me, sir,Copy !req
126. we'll find a way to link
the attacks on our peopleCopy !req
127. Are you suggestingto them later.
we use the attackCopy !req
128. on our congressional delegation
as a pretextCopy !req
129. to attack another country we
don't know to be responsible?Copy !req
130. Mr. Presil'm not usingsuggesting
Then what the helllear...
are you suggesThere's ampleCopy !req
131. Admiral Fitzwallace's deathCopy !req
132. and the death
of our congressmenCopy !req
133. as a pretext to attack
another countryCopy !req
134. we don't happen to like.Copy !req
135. The ambassador is here.Copy !req
136. I want to see
what we haveCopy !req
137. linking Nasan
to the Martyrs in Syria.Copy !req
138. with any credible, come up
verifiable evidenceCopy !req
139. dragging Iran
into this mess,Copy !req
140. I'll take a look
at that, too.Copy !req
141. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
142. I'm not bombing
half the Middle EastCopy !req
143. because it's going
to make us all feel better.Copy !req
144. They're on
your side.Copy !req
145. I was having a hard time
believing thatCopy !req
146. a few minutes ago.Copy !req
147. Sir, you can't
delay any longer.Copy !req
148. There are no rabbitsCopy !req
149. left in I'm not prepared
to accept that.Copy !req
150. You're going
to have to, sir.Copy !req
151. The ambassador's waiting.Copy !req
152. Looks like your boy's
gotten himself into a
bit of trouble.Copy !req
153. My boy?Copy !req
154. Bartlet.Copy !req
155. It's been President Bartlet
for five years,Copy !req
156. hasn't been "boy"
for about 50.Copy !req
157. The Israelis are never going
to meet with Farad.Copy !req
158. They've got him surrounded
in the West Bank.Copy !req
159. What's Bartlet think
they're going to do,Copy !req
160. knock on the door
of his compoundCopy !req
161. and say "I'm so sorry about
all the tanks and stuff,Copy !req
162. but would you like to pop over
to America,Copy !req
163. have a nice wee chat
and sort this out?Copy !req
164. Where are you from?Copy !req
165. Belfast.Copy !req
166. of how to work things out
reover there.dCopy !req
167. Yeah, we are, actually.Copy !req
168. The Israelis
have every rightCopy !req
169. to protect themselves
from terrorists.Copy !req
170. oppressing a peoplean
fighting for self rule. forceCopy !req
171. They're citizen-soldiers
trying to keepCopy !req
172. their sisters from getting
blown up on a bus.Copy !req
173. You Jewish?Copy !req
174. the Palestinians have a point
is anti-Semitic.
Anyone who thinksCopy !req
175. And anyone who thinks
that Jews don't—Copy !req
176. after being chased and exiled
and persecuted for centuriesCopy !req
177. is either an idiot
or a fool—Copy !req
178. or probably both.Copy !req
179. Madame Ambassador.Copy !req
180. Mr. McGarry.Copy !req
181. Pleasure
to see you.
Thank you.Copy !req
182. Please.Copy !req
183. Admiral Fitzwallace was
a great man.Copy !req
184. All Israelis mourn his loss.Copy !req
185. Israel cannot agree to attend
a summit with Chairman FaradCopy !req
186. while our citizens are being
brutally murdered every day.Copy !req
187. Whether we like it or not,Copy !req
188. Farad is in charge.Copy !req
189. The United States has
sought regime changeCopy !req
190. in dictatorships
around the world.Copy !req
191. Is Israel to be held
to a higher standard?Copy !req
192. Israel was created to be a land
free from oppression.Copy !req
193. Whether the land is
rightly Palestinian,Copy !req
194. Israeli, Jordanian
or Judean,Copy !req
195. the people who live in the
territories are oppressed.Copy !req
196. By their own leadership,
by the neglect of Arab neighborsCopy !req
197. and yes, by Israel.Copy !req
198. I'm sorry, Mr. President.Copy !req
199. Chairman Farad is interested
in only one thing—Copy !req
200. murdering Israelis.Copy !req
201. And apparently, he's decided
it's now timeCopy !req
202. to start murdering
Americans as well.Copy !req
203. We won't participate
in any discussionsCopy !req
204. which include
Chairman Farad.Copy !req
205. If you'll excuse
me, sir.Copy !req
206. C.J.!Copy !req
207. Republicans are on their way
to the White HouseCopy !req
208. this afternoon to meet
with the President.Copy !req

they're planning to say?Copy !req
210. is gexpress their unanimous
whatand unqualified supportCopy !req
211. of the President's policies.Copy !req
212. The Democrats are saying
It'sthey don't understandcans.Copy !req
213. why the President is
wringing his handsCopy !req
214. We're working closely with
leaders of both parties on this.Copy !req
215. They know the President
is determined to act.Copy !req
216. No they don't, C.J.
Neither do the American people.Copy !req
217. Gallup is saying
82% support immediateCopy !req
218. military action
in response to Gaza.Copy !req
219. The President doesn't make
security decisionsCopy !req
220. based on opinion polls.Copy !req

222. Israeli officials are with

of the Israeli government.Copy !req
227. These conversations are ongoing.Copy !req

262. These the same right-wing
turkey-bastersCopy !req
263. who said I faked MS to get
the sympathy voteCopy !req
264. Nice to see everyone.
Please sit down. tionCopy !req
265. Members of congress were killed,

266. you're typing up name tags
and inviting themg justiceCopy !req
267. You're ignoring the
to play dsacrifice these men
atmade for their country.Copy !req
268. On the contrary,
I'm trying to honor it.Copy !req
269. You're appeasing terroristsCopy !req
270. by rewarding them with
a peace summit.Copy !req
271. If the issue here is
congressional consultation,Copy !req
272. we can assure you...Copy !req
273. Mr. President, you have to go
on national television,Copy !req
274. admit your mistake and retract
those invitations.Copy !req
275. You've insulted these menCopy !req
276. You have to put this summit back
into the cereal boxCopy !req
277. it came in.Copy !req
278. I didn't come here
to play games.Copy !req
279. I'm trying to find a way
to make peace,Copy !req
280. and when I do,
you can go on TVCopy !req
281. and explain why
you're against it.Copy !req
282. Ms. Moss was experiencing
shortness of breath
and chest pain.Copy !req
283. Her chest CT revealed a blood
clot in her right lung.Copy !req
284. She asked if she could
see you for a moment
before we put her under.Copy !req
285. Me?Copy !req
286. Um, no. Mr. Lyman.Copy !req
287. I just talked
to the doctor.Copy !req
288. They said

289. Yeah, stylish, huh?Copy !req
290. He tell youCopy !req
291. what they're going to do?Copy !req
292. It's going to be a snap.Copy !req
293. Yeah.Copy !req
294. Don't be.Copy !req
295. You're going to be fine, okay?Copy !req
296. Okay, Donna, here we go.Copy !req

303. Good.Copy !req
304. You'll talk to him?Copy !req
305. Yeah.Copy !req
306. We lose track of Nasan now,Copy !req
307. who knows when
we pick him up again.Copy !req
308. Thank you, General.Copy !req
309. Leo...Copy !req
310. Do you have a moment?Copy !req
311. Sure.Copy !req
312. I encouraged the President to
pursue a meeting with Mukarat.Copy !req
313. I should have anticipated
Chairman Farad would...Copy !req
314. Did you bury a mortar
shell on a roadside
in Gaza two days ago?Copy !req
315. No, sir.Copy !req
316. I just feel that
in hindsight I could...Copy !req
317. The President heard
what he wanted to hearCopy !req
318. and went where
he wanted to go.
He's over 21.Copy !req
319. DYou're not changinglf,
Cthe course of history.Copy !req
320. I won't take up
any more of your time.Copy !req
321. He doesn't like chaos.Copy !req
322. We bomb some apartment building
in GazaCopy !req
323. or a camp in Syria,
there'll be consequences.Copy !req
324. And we can't tell him
what they're going to be.Copy !req
325. Will we get drawn into a war
in the Middle East?Copy !req
326. Will suicide bombers
be climbing onto busesCopy !req
327. in Passaic, New Jersey
instead of Tel Aviv and Haifa?Copy !req
328. The President's asking for you
and Ms. Harper in the Oval.Copy !req
329. The President's looking
for answersCopy !req
330. and we don't have them.Copy !req
331. No idea's too stupid
or outrageous.Copy !req
332. Party clowns, pinatas,
I'd build a mosque
out of Jell-OCopy !req
333. if I thought...Copy !req
334. I need ideas,
new ideas.Copy !req
335. Come on.Copy !req
336. Just throw things outCopy !req
337. and we'll see
if anything comes of it.Copy !req
338. Sir, I think we need to
shift the conversationCopy !req
339. back to the military...Copy !req
340. Come on. Who else?Copy !req
341. Is the FBI any closer...?Copy !req
342. I'm Farad and the Israelis—Copy !req
343. how to get them
into the same room together.Copy !req
344. C.J.:
Previous peace plansCopy !req
345. have focused on getting Farad
to crack down on HamasCopy !req
346. andHe's not powerful enough.ps.Copy !req
347. He picks a fight with Hamas...Copy !req
348. I need ideas. New ideas.
Come on.Copy !req
349. The last time Israel
Faoffered up Gaza, 96%... lCopy !req
350. s going
Farad gives security guaranteesCopy !req
351. and takes tangible action
against Hamas.Copy !req
352. Really stupid ideas?Copy !req
353. Yes, absolutely.Copy !req
354. We ignore everything
that's happened inCopy !req
355. Yesterday, Farad
was cooperating with us,Copy !req
356. planning to arrest NasanCopy !req
357. and the other perpetrators
of the CODEL bombing.Copy !req
358. Then the Israelis surroundedCopy !req
359. and his people in Gaza
refused to arrest Nasan, right?Copy !req
360. Yeah, so?Copy !req
361. So we hold Farad
to his earlier promise.Copy !req
362. Tell him if he wants a summit,
he has to arrest Nasan.Copy !req
363. Show us and the Israelis
he's seriousCopy !req
364. about punishing terrorists.Copy !req
365. How's he supposed to do thatCopy !req
366. when his compound
is surrounded by Israeli tanks?Copy !req
367. Farad was never going
to do it himself.Copy !req
368. The Palestinian Authority
was just waitingCopy !req
369. for his okay to proceed.Copy !req
370. His cell phone's dead.
The Israelis aren't goingrned
to stop the American consulateCopy !req
371. rom giving him
A cell phone... might.w battery.Copy !req
372. He can use mine if he wants.Copy !req
373. You're right,
it's a stupid idea.Copy !req
374. Why?Copy !req
375. Who cares if
he has a phone?Copy !req
376. He's not going
to punish Nasan.Copy !req
377. He's rounded up terrorists
before.Copy !req
378. He walks 'em
past Al Jazeera
for show,Copy !req
379. in a palace with a squash courtr
and high-speed Internet access.Copy !req
380. Tell him he hasCopy !req
381. to turn Nasan over to us.Copy !req
382. He won't do it.Copy !req
383. Half his followers think Nasan's
a hero for blowing up Americans.Copy !req
384. He's going to turn
the guy over to
the Great Satan?Copy !req
385. C.J.:
If he says no or equivocates,
we go public,Copy !req
386. say we wanted Farad
for a summit,Copy !req
387. but when we identified
the killer,Copy !req
388. we asked Farad
to turn him over, he refused.Copy !req
389. We look reasonable,
measured.Copy !req
390. Farad has no one
to blame but himself.Copy !req
391. And if he does turn over Nasan,Copy !req
392. we go to the Israelis and say,
"Hey, look,Copy !req
393. he's serious
this time."Copy !req
394. Can it work?Copy !req
395. No.Copy !req
396. No.Copy !req
397. Maybe.Copy !req
398. Maybe.Copy !req
399. Okay, somebody get the man
a cell phoneCopy !req
400. and tell him to expect a call
from the President.Copy !req
401. Thanks, everyone.Copy !req
402. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
403. Leo, you're okay...?Copy !req
404. Coordinate with State.Copy !req
405. Thank you,
Mr. President.Copy !req
406. Congress is drafting
a resolution demandingCopy !req
407. that you take
military action.Copy !req
408. Yeah.Copy !req
409. Sir,Copy !req
410. the Lincoln Battle GroupCopy !req
411. will be in position
sometime tonight.Copy !req
412. They're awaiting your go order
to strike NasanCopy !req
413. and the Syrian camps
in the morning.Copy !req
414. What?Copy !req
415. We can't wait for Farad.Copy !req
416. The risk of losing Khalil Nasan
is too great.Copy !req
417. We have intel linking Iran
to the Martyrs.Copy !req
418. It's sketchy in spots,Copy !req
419. but overall
it's a compelling case.Copy !req
420. I'General Alexander went ahead
iwith plans for these bombings?Copy !req
421. At your request.Copy !req
422. I said I'd consider it
when the time was appropriate.Copy !req
423. I did not ask that he...Copy !req
424. He was trying
to anticipateCopy !req
425. your eventual needs, sir,
at my urging.Copy !req
426. Mr. President, please.Copy !req
427. Congress, the Joint Chiefs,
the American public,Copy !req
428. your own staff;
everyone disagreesCopy !req
429. with your assessment
of the situation.Copy !req
430. Killing Palestinians isn't going
to make us feel safer.Copy !req
431. then we'll have to kill
Tmore of them. ore oCopy !req
432. It's Russian roulette
with a fully-loaded gun.Copy !req
433. We can't allow terroristsCopy !req
434. to murder our citizens
without...Copy !req
435. Why would Palestinians murder
American government officials?Copy !req
436. They never have before.Copy !req
437. They're deliberately provoking
us, Leo.Copy !req
438. They know that we have
to retaliate.Copy !req
439. They've studied us!
They want us to overreact!Copy !req
440. This isn't overreacting!Copy !req
441. It's the appropriate,
balanced...Copy !req
442. Tell meCopy !req
443. how this ends, Leo!Copy !req
444. You want me to
start somethingCopy !req
445. that may have serious
repercussionsCopy !req
446. on American foreign policy
for decades, but youCopy !req
447. don't know how it ends!Copy !req
448. We don't always know
how it ends!Copy !req
449. The Lincoln will be in position
in a few hoursCopy !req
450. and then you are going
to have to give the go aheadCopy !req
451. for the bombings.Copy !req
452. Or what?Copy !req
453. Let me know
when Chairman Farad calls.Copy !req
454. I'll be in the residence.Copy !req
455. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
456. It's late.Copy !req
457. I'm sorry.Copy !req
458. Did I wake you?Copy !req
459. Mm.Copy !req
460. No.Copy !req
461. Still nothing?Copy !req
462. Maybe I'm wrong.Copy !req
463. Maybe.Copy !req
464. You think so?Copy !req
465. Am I that predictable now?Copy !req
466. You were always
that predictable.Copy !req
467. I could do what they want,Copy !req
468. make everyone feel better
for a few days.Copy !req
469. Some nice aerial shots
of things blowing up on CNN,Copy !req
470. a few charred bodies.Copy !req
471. It'd be a hell
of a lot easier.Copy !req
472. You want easier?Copy !req
473. I want Fitz
to walk through my door tomorrowCopy !req
474. and give me a hard time
about the Celtics.Copy !req
475. You think they got a chance
this year?Copy !req
476. Who?Copy !req
477. Celtics.Copy !req
478. They still need a big man
and a reliable point guard,Copy !req
479. but they might
make a run for it.Copy !req
480. For a moment there,
I was worried.Copy !req
481. Hey.Copy !req
482. I nabbed the last two packages
of peanut butter crackersCopy !req
483. out of the machine.Copy !req
484. It was that
or an old egg salad sandwich.Copy !req
485. I thought you went home.Copy !req
486. And pass up
the 16th Street smorgasbord?Copy !req
487. I wouldn't have been able
to sleep anyway.Copy !req
488. I'm catching up on some work.Copy !req
489. Mm, you're going to need
some water.Copy !req
490. Maybe a fire hose.Copy !req
491. ( muffled ):
Or a local reservoir.Copy !req
492. How the hell do we always
get dragged into these things?Copy !req
493. Why can't I just
sit on my patio,Copy !req
494. barbecue some chickenCopy !req
495. and drink
my diet Dr. Pepper in peace?Copy !req
496. You gonna finish those?Copy !req
497. Be my guest.Copy !req
498. You ever look around and think,Copy !req
499. this country's in a hell
if wof a lot of trouble? rgeCopy !req
500. Till I spend time
with the other guys.Copy !req
501. They got a
phone to Farad.Copy !req
502. The President's
talking to him now.Copy !req
503. I'm afraid that's unacceptable,
Mr. Chairman.Copy !req
504. If your security forces
were to capture Nasan,Copy !req
505. The crime was committed
in the Palestinian Territories.
turned overCopy !req
506. The Territories
aren't a state.Copy !req
507. Trying Nasan
in an American court showsCopy !req
508. there are other means
of seeking justiceCopy !req
509. than Israeli missile strikes.Copy !req
510. This point can also be made
in a Palestinian court.Copy !req
511. What Palestinian court?Copy !req
512. It's three guys
with loaded pistolsCopy !req
513. and a Magic 8-Ball.Copy !req
514. Mr. Chairman,Copy !req
515. capturing Nasan and thenCopy !req
516. turning him over to
us would demonstrateCopy !req
517. to the Israelis
and the worldCopy !req
518. that you're
tough on terror.Copy !req
519. That you know
the differenceCopy !req
520. between fighting
for the Palestinian causeCopy !req
521. and randomly
attacking Americans.Copy !req
522. All it would demonstrate
is that the PalestiniansCopy !req
523. are incapable of administering
justice themselves.Copy !req
524. Americans were killed,
Mr. Chairman,Copy !req
525. This falls under
our jurisdiction.Copy !req
526. Even if you were
to detain Nasan,Copy !req
527. we would ask
that you extradite him.Copy !req
528. Mr. Chairman?Copy !req
529. These are difficult questions.Copy !req
530. Perhaps they should be
a topic of discussionCopy !req
531. for our talks at Camp David.Copy !req
532. There won't be any talks
if Khalil NasanCopy !req
533. isn't delivered into
United States custody.Copy !req
534. Mr. President, that makes things
very difficult.Copy !req
535. Perhaps then, Mr. President...Copy !req
536. we will not be able to meet.
( quietly ):
Sorry.Copy !req
537. Mr. Chairman,Copy !req
538. if your security forces
were to detain NasanCopy !req
539. and then turn him over to us
secretly...Copy !req
540. we'd be happy to sayCopy !req
541. that he was apprehended
by the FBI.Copy !req
542. Mr. Chairman?Copy !req
543. I will discuss it
with members of my government.Copy !req
544. And you'll seriously
consider it?Copy !req
545. I will discuss it.Copy !req
546. Thank you for your time,
Mr. Chairman.Copy !req
547. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
548. Was that a yes or a no?Copy !req
549. "Members of my government"?
I think he's talking aboutCopy !req
550. twoHe won't do it.
andHe can't do it.Copy !req
551. He sounded like he
was considering it.Copy !req
552. He was distracted,
looking up Nasan's numberCopy !req
553. so he could warn him
to get the hell out of Gaza.Copy !req
554. There's no evidence
linking NasanCopy !req
555. to That'sSo now all Palestinians
or haven'are terrorists? him yCopy !req
556. If the kaffiyeh fits.Copy !req
557. That's enough.
Thank you everybody.Copy !req
558. Go home,
try to get some sleep.Copy !req
559. Thank you, sir.
Mr. President.Copy !req
560. Now what?Copy !req
561. We wait.Copy !req
562. The Lincoln Battle Group
is almost...Copy !req
563. We wait, Leo.Copy !req
564. So, you fly halfway
around the worldCopy !req
565. at a moment's notice, to
rush to a woman's bedsideCopy !req
566. when the White House
if facing offCopy !req
567. a Biblical apocalypse?Copy !req
568. We work together.Copy !req
569. Past dalliance gone badCopy !req
570. or tragically unconsummated loveCopy !req
571. by puritanical American
workplace ethics? lengthCopy !req
572. What the hell
are you talking about?Copy !req
573. There was this a girl
when I was 16...Copy !req
574. No... 17.Copy !req
575. This when you were a bagman
for the IRA?Copy !req
576. She was mad about me.Copy !req
577. Worshipped me, really.Copy !req
578. And I liked her,Copy !req
579. but I was off
to University in DublinCopy !req
580. and she was going
to stay in Belfast,Copy !req
581. work in her dad's shop.Copy !req
582. This is taking
too long.Copy !req
583. Isn't this taking too long?Copy !req
584. She wrote to meCopy !req
585. every single day,Copy !req
586. and she called weekends.Copy !req
587. And she... she
was always there.Copy !req
588. I took her for granted,
you know?Copy !req
589. Mr. Lyman?Copy !req
590. How's she doing?Copy !req
591. We encountered
a few difficultiesCopy !req
592. during the procedure.Copy !req
593. She lost
a substantial amount of blood.Copy !req
594. and call in a vascular surgeon
to repair the tear.Copy !req
595. Is she's going
to be all right?Copy !req
596. She's still unconscious.Copy !req
597. As soon as
she's stabilized,Copy !req
598. we'll send her off for an MRI.Copy !req
599. Between the anemia
and low blood pressure,Copy !req
600. she may have suffered
hypoxic brain injury.Copy !req
601. Decreased oxygen delivery
can result in brain damage.Copy !req
602. They had to doCopy !req
603. some sort of operationCopy !req
604. and there were
complications.Copy !req
605. I spoke to Josh.Copy !req
606. He's pretty upset.Copy !req
607. Can you get me Donna's parents?Copy !req
608. Yes, sir.Copy !req
609. We've heard nothing
from Chairman FaradCopy !req
610. in over seven hours.Copy !req
611. General Alexander
is waiting in the Sit Room.Copy !req
612. The Lincoln Carrier
Group is in place.Copy !req
613. Excuse me,
Mr. President?Copy !req
614. What do you need,
George?Copy !req
615. Our FBI team in Gaza
was just contactedCopy !req
616. by the Palestinian
Security Forces.Copy !req
617. They have Khalil Nasan
in custody,Copy !req
618. and they'd like to
turn him over to us.Copy !req
619. Did it pass?Copy !req
620. House was 317 to 116.Copy !req
621. Senate 62 to 37.Copy !req
622. "Whereas acts of treacherous
and unprovoked violenceCopy !req
623. have been committed against
United States citizens..."Copy !req
624. Just skip ahead
to the parts that're
going to piss me off.Copy !req
625. That's gonna be
all of it really.Copy !req
626. "Whereas,
inaction further threatensCopy !req
627. "the national security
of these United States,Copy !req
628. "and there can be no meaningful
peace in the Middle EastCopy !req
629. "so long as such acts
are sanctioned and committed...Copy !req
630. Here it comes.Copy !req
631. "... and whereas, the President
has both the authorityCopy !req
632. "and the imperative to address
and prevent such acts of terrorCopy !req
633. against'The President has
the United Staboth the authorityCopy !req
634. and the imperative"?Copy !req
635. It's the Oxford
Debating Society's waybCopy !req
636. of telling the President
to get off his assCopy !req
637. and do something,
you feckless wimp.Copy !req
638. Is she here?
Yes, sir.Copy !req
639. And the Prime MinisterCopy !req
640. is waiting for your call
in Tel Aviv.Copy !req
641. Okay. It passed?Copy !req
642. Yes, sir.Copy !req
643. How many Democrats
against us?Copy !req
644. Too many.Copy !req
645. But we swept the Vermont
delegation, am I right?Copy !req
646. Actually, no.Copy !req
647. "Both the authority
and the imperative"?Copy !req
648. They want peace but I have
to blow something up first?Copy !req
649. I think they're
willing to haggle
on the peace part.Copy !req
650. That usually work
in the past?Copy !req
651. How's my tie?Copy !req
652. Charlie, get the Prime Ministere
on the phone. ue, sir.Copy !req
653. Ms. Harper, head on
in and look unhappy.Copy !req
654. Toby, I want you
to call every DemocratCopy !req
655. that supported
this resolutionCopy !req
656. and tell them that if they
ever want White House supportCopy !req
657. for another rubber chicken
fund-raiserCopy !req
658. they had better start singingCopy !req
659. a rousing chorus
of "Hail to the Chief."Copy !req
660. Leo, head down
to the Sit RoomCopy !req
661. and tell the Generals to keep
their pistols in their pocketsCopy !req
662. for the time being.Copy !req
663. You don't believe
in this, Leo,Copy !req
664. and they're not going
to want to do it.Copy !req
665. I can't have them picking upCopy !req
666. any signals from you
that we disagree.Copy !req
667. No, sir.Copy !req
668. So, uh...Copy !req
669. Yeah, and Blinken,
Worthington, Goffman.
Fields votCopy !req
670. Wow. Goffman?Copy !req
671. Sue Bordan's on here, too.Copy !req
672. with a knuckle-dragging D.A.
Oh, from Lake Forest. raceCopy !req
673. Donna any better?Copy !req
674. You're on with Josh?Copy !req
675. They can't tell
if there's neurological damageCopy !req
676. for a couple days.Copy !req
677. How is she?Copy !req
678. They won't know anything
for a couple of days.Copy !req
679. Sir.Copy !req
680. Oh, God, really?Copy !req
681. I-I don't have a pacemaker
or anything.Copy !req
682. Turn it off, now, sir.Copy !req
683. Okay, sure.
Lieutenant.Copy !req
684. Who're you talking to?Copy !req
685. I'll call back
in a couple hours.Copy !req
686. The Palestinian Authority
has detained Khalil NasanCopy !req
687. It's a show of good faith
on Chairman Farad's part.Copy !req
688. An example
of his renewed willingnessCopy !req
689. to address the peace process.Copy !req
690. Mr. Prime Minister,Copy !req
691. the territories
are undermining your legitimacyCopy !req
692. and sapping your moral authority
in the eyes of the world.Copy !req
693. Farad is beholden
to the very forcesCopy !req
694. that wish to push us
back into the sea.Copy !req
695. It's not a negotiating point
for him.Copy !req
696. It's a religious
and moral imperativeCopy !req
697. to take back all of Israel
for Palestine.Copy !req
698. Sir, you cannot hold yourself
out as the Promised LandCopy !req
699. while occupying the territories
and oppressing other peoples.Copy !req
700. Our Arab citizens
enjoy the most freedomsCopy !req
701. of any Arabs in the Middle East.Copy !req
702. The Palestinians are oppressed
as opposed to who?Copy !req
703. We don't stone womenCopy !req
704. who refuse to wear head scarves
in Tel Aviv.Copy !req
705. Sir,Copy !req
706. Chairman Farad's seen
you're almost doneCopy !req
707. He's about to lose
half the Jordan ValleyCopy !req
708. If you agree
to come to a summit with FaradCopy !req
709. and he still refuses
to reach an agreement,Copy !req
710. the United States is willing
to publicly supportCopy !req
711. Israeli actions
to secure your homeland,Copy !req
712. including the
building of the fence.Copy !req
713. Eli, why not sit down
and talk again?Copy !req
714. If Farad turns over
this terrorist to you,Copy !req
715. I will take the offer
to my cabinet.Copy !req
716. Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister.Copy !req
717. Good afternoon, Mr. President.Copy !req
718. Madam Ambassador.Copy !req
719. Mr. President.Copy !req
720. ( whispers ):
I think we got ourselves
a ball game.Copy !req
721. Have you been to NSF
Thurmont before?Copy !req
722. Camp David, no.
No, I haven't.Copy !req
723. Ever been on
Marine One?Copy !req
724. No. No, I haven't.Copy !req
725. Like helicopters?Copy !req
726. No, not really.
I get airsick.Copy !req
727. Okay. You can
sit with Will.Copy !req
728. I want you to stay here,
hold down the Fort.Copy !req
729. I'll call you
when things heat up.Copy !req
730. Of course, Mr. President.Copy !req
731. You still think
this is a mistake.Copy !req
732. Yes, sir, I do.Copy !req
733. As soon as the Palestinian
delegationCopy !req
734. is on the ground at Andrews,
give Alexander the go.Copy !req
735. Sir?Copy !req
736. Tell the GeneralCopy !req
737. to hit the Ein Hawa camp
near Damascus.Copy !req
738. What about Iran?Copy !req
739. I've looked
at the intel file.Copy !req
740. I'm still not convinced.Copy !req
741. You get something more,Copy !req
742. show it to me,
and we'll discuss it.Copy !req
743. Thank you, Mr. President.Copy !req
744. Will Bailey.Copy !req
745. and strategic planning
You last night?Copy !req
746. Missiles and marshmallows.Copy !req
747. President loves
a good campfire.Copy !req
748. I should warn you—
all his horror storiesCopy !req
749. are about the Crusades.Copy !req
750. Yeah, well,
so's the morning paper.Copy !req
751. Palestinians are wheels up.Copy !req
752. C.J.:
That's a great way
to stop the summitCopy !req
753. with the consistency
of industrial sealant.Copy !req
754. Leo's looking for you.
Try and get him
up at Camp David.Copy !req
755. He's not at Camp David.Copy !req
756. He's in his office.Copy !req
757. I thought you went up yesterday
with the President.Copy !req
758. A couple loose ends.Copy !req
759. We want the press corps
down here.Copy !req
760. We're not going to the cozy inn?
President
doesn't wantCopy !req
761. You walk 'em through a daily
schedule, and that's it.Copy !req
762. No pool spray.Copy !req
763. They go to Camp David,
all they're going to getCopy !req
764. is shots of tinted windows
and enough furrowed browsCopy !req
765. to start a Yiddish
theater group.Copy !req
766. They're ready for you.Copy !req
767. We're going to have
an announcementCopy !req
768. in a couple of hours.Copy !req
769. I'll find you
when it's time. ouncemenCopy !req

You can stay in bed next time.Copy !req
773. So much for permanent press.Copy !req
774. Prep group's about to start
up on the lower porch.Copy !req
775. Mr. President.Copy !req
776. They're on their way.Copy !req
777. Did you comeCopy !req
778. to a consensus?Copy !req
779. Only that Toby would
give half his salaryCopy !req
780. for a piece of
asphalt he could useCopy !req
781. to pummel the
State Department.Copy !req
782. You're making a mess of it.
Give me that.Copy !req
783. What's the sticking point?
What isn't?Copy !req
784. If we can't agree, how
do we expect them to?Copy !req
785. The Israelis just cleared
our airspace.Copy !req
786. Okay.Copy !req
787. Go get 'em, Cassius.Copy !req
