\layout Dialogue

Fuck you smartass.
 I don't need your humor, I need information.
 I got men depending on those goddamned satellites.
 And you better believe that Saddam knows that.
 He knows that's the only reason our tanks were able to sneek around his

 They go, he comes, we die.

\layout Dialogue

My apologies general.
 It was not my intention to make light of your situation.
 My own frustrations pale in the light of your responsibilites.
 The estimates I have received all fall into the category of wild guesses.
 I'll do my best to tell you what we know we can expect.

From the look on your face, I can tell you are not going to be bearer of
 good news.
 Don't worry, we no longer shoot bearers of bad news.
 Go ahead.

\layout Dialogue

 is likely to disrupt communications for several hours, and possibly several
 days.
 During that period we will not know how many survived.
