Vice President Noah Daniels : So in less than an hour, we will have made our point to the enemy?
Admiral John Smith : Yes Mr. Vice President, the V-6-11 short range tactical warhead has a blast yield of three hundred kilotons. The "message" will be loud and clear
Vice President Noah Daniels : Very good Admiral: exemplary. Tom, give us the damage and causality estimates you got from COMM PLAN?
Vice President Noah Daniels : [after he doesn't respond] Tom?
Tom Lennox : I'm sorry sir
Vice President Noah Daniels : Is there a problem?

Admiral John Smith : [to Daniels] sir, the Victory's in position: their standing by
Vice President Noah Daniels : Proceed with the strike

Vice President Noah Daniels : I'm not going to delay our response based on what Gredenko may or may not reveal
Tom Lennox : But if Gredenko gives up the bombs, surely that is the desired result...
Vice President Noah Daniels : [Interrupts him] then we can consider this strike as retaliation for American lives already lost: a reminder to the world there are consequences when attacking our country
