CLARK:
It’s Mrs. Clark.
GENERAL:
Yes, of course, Mrs. I’m sorry.
CLARK
Off the record?
GENERAL:
Yep, I want to know what you think.
CLARK:
I’m not sure, sir?
GENERAL:
Not sure what you think or not sure what to tell me?
She looks at him, trying to decide what to say.
GENERAL:
I’m not gonna bite you. She puts down her files.
CLARK:
I don’t think our response is in proportion to al-Qaida’s threat. So far we’ve spent three trillion dollars on two wars, we’ve suffered over four thousand casualties and thirty two thousand wounded. I would remind you, sir, that this is against an al-Qaida force of roughly two to three hundred men.
