[5:11:49] And if running, if we don't want to have stuck in the line, we've got an endless road ahead of us.
[5:11:54] The point is, we are on a home stretch.
[5:11:56] You know, we're not over the navigation.
[5:11:58] This is a compulsive plan.
[5:11:58] Well, then we wait there until the South didn't even get to anymore.
[5:12:03] Well, then we'll work out a paragraph along that line, not too long.
[5:12:06] And that's entirely possible.
[5:12:13] I don't think it is.
[5:12:15] Yeah, I know it is.
[5:12:16] Yeah, and then we can say just before, just before they put it in.
[5:12:30] Where am I?
[5:12:33] Hey, here.
[5:12:37] My last sentence, let us regard your policy of seeking peace, not the peace of surrender, but peace for all.
[5:12:46] We will make not just peace in our time, but peace for generations to come.
[5:12:57] Good morning.
[5:12:57] How about the Cambodian speech?
[5:12:59] Almost three years ago, exactly.
[5:13:03] So we wanted to avoid doing, perhaps, a mistake to deal with that.
[5:13:11] And I know it was regarded by a lot of people as quite inappropriate for you to talk about being a one-term president in that speech.
[5:13:21] Because probably this being an election year, you being a declared candidate for re-election, it's a different program.
[5:13:25] It's been so universally raised now by everybody.
[5:13:27] In other words, it's not a question that anybody, I mean, I don't say it in person, but I'm going to make sure the president is here and I'm talking to myself.
