  Major Ngo Doc - Cat : [cutting him off]  Yes, yes, all well and good, Commander... You are no doubt trying to hide behind the Geneva Convention, n'est-ce pas?

  Major Ngo Doc - Cat : [Williamson does not answer his question; Ngo Doc continues]  Well, Commander, when the United States declare war upon my country, then we will fulfill our international commitments.

• Kennedy : You push us too far and they'll bomb you. There're guys that'd bomb you back to the Stone Age if they got the chance.

  Major Ngo Doc - Cat : [gazing out the window, looking reflective]  The real war is not in the Delta. It is in the United Nations. Champs Elysees. And Berkley, California. And the Washington Mall. The cities of America. And what we will not win on the battlefield, your journalists will win for us--on your very own doorstep.
