Quotes 

• General Blaye : Our planes are currently over the Atlantic: the first of them will be reaching their targets in just under three hours

  President David Palmer : Are the pilots' communications possible?

  General Blaye : COMM is open to them. Planes can be ordered back at any time

  President David Palmer : Good

  General Blaye : Sir, I don't know if anyone's told you, the sooner we can lock this mission down, the more comfortable the Joint Chiefs will be with it

  President David Palmer : Well, my job is not to make the Joint Chiefs comfortable. Thank you, that will be all

  Mike Novick : [while walking into the conference room]  Mr. President, there's been a development in Murrieta, the National Guard took on a more aggressive posture at our request but the disturbance got more than they could handle

  President David Palmer : What happened?

  Lynne Kresge : Two people were killed Sir. The National Guard started shooting rubber bullets into the crowd and there were two fatal hits. One of the victims was a leader of the dissent and...

  President David Palmer : And?

  Lynne Kresge : And the other was a young boy Sir. He was Middle Eastern and he was from one of the families we were trying to protect

  President David Palmer : [Stands up in disappointment]  what's going on now?

  Mike Novick : They've made some arrests but the crowd is still moving. Now we might want to think about taking a step back. Maybe the presence of the National Guard is making it worse

  Lynne Kresge : If we step back now, those families will be left completely unprotected

  Mike Novick : Yeah

  President David Palmer : A young boy, what was his name?

  Lynne Kresge : I don't know Sir

  President David Palmer : The boy had a name, find out

  Lynne Kresge : [Before leaving]  indeed I will Sir

  Mike Novick : [Walking up to him]  it was a tragic accident

  President David Palmer : Tell the National Guard to hold their ground. I want that neighborhood protected. I want order restored

  Mike Novick : Yes Sir
