both not negotiable.

The first part...

... you will appear every day, to

all the classes, starting from now.

And the second, you will sit down beside those

last two boys that can help you.

Maybe that explains for

what I called you this morning.

You have the reflections of a fetus.

How you don't have him/her more fear

to the shots and the bullets?

Because I have written "bullets"

in my balls. Did you understand that?

This is a call of the high control...

Yes, it is a call of the high control.

But this call is for

the future that we have left.

It is alone a sample of how we solve

the military problems first.

Our soldiers of Forces

Special they have gone into enough...

... and they will occupy the position

before they think it,

disabling the enemy's mobility.

And the military part has

that to arrive first. Why?

Because alone after

let us eradicate the enemy,

we will be able to carry out our

plan of making a new democracy.

So it is basically to kill

people to help people.

No.

Not it is what I said, the enemy I said.

You are leaving yourself the context.

I sit down it, alone it tried of...

- Yes, I know it...

- Good, we continue,

in the 2002 you said something as:

... the talibanes retires, we broke

its center, had many applause...

Fulfilled, smaller mission.

An error.

Error?

Because now we know that

the enemy was destroyed,

but it continued alive and we also know...

... that the enemy learned the

lesson of that first setback.

Not it is this way, it would be the second setback.

We would abandon this

meeting if I don't accept it?

It will be this way the rest of

the hour in captivity?

Alone I am asking questions.

Senator Irving, alone

give me an example of the...

... enemy learning the lesson.

They refused to the fact that

we were offering them friendship.

And the history has demonstrated that you

do they punish that behavior class, not?

So we throw this new one

strategy using to the military ones...

... as the entrance blow.

To take their heights is key.

Where he/she wants that we are, us

he/she gives the ability to observe,

the possibility to attack and

the opportunity to preside over.

To preside over?

As the Romans with their strong ones.

You establish a constant presence

or you will have constant violence.

Then, we will be there

for the good, as the Romans?

I said constant, not permanent.

We have to have patience and

determination to solve these urgencies.

With the simple duration and the security

of building schools and clinical...

But, when will we make all this?

Good question, we are in it.

Not we can wait to that

they decide to give us access,

we have put this new one
