[2:48:41] See, I don't want this parade of stories about the military that came out after Johnson's bombing when they said, well, they didn't unleash us.
[2:48:50] But goddamn it, we have unleashed them.
[2:48:54] You've unleashed them.
[2:48:55] There is no restriction whatsoever.
[2:48:57] I want to take the two strikes up there the day we get back.
[2:49:02] But that's what you did.
[2:49:08] where you go, please, why, why is it impossible to read and figure some RV to do?
[2:49:20] I know the answer.
[2:49:21] I know the planes can do it as well, but they can't.
[2:49:24] They can't fly as high and the rest.
[2:49:26] I think the B-52 was half the load.
[2:49:29] I'll take 100 out here, and that never shocked me.
[2:49:31] I was getting it done.
[2:49:32] I thought it was.
[2:49:36] When Agnew was talking, and it's quite right, they said the F-4 can do it, but the F-4 can't fly.
[2:49:44] The psychology of the 52 strike.
[2:49:46] Now, we've got 4,000 52s in Europe, right?
[2:50:05] Thank you.
[2:50:05] Thank you.
[2:50:05] Thank you.
[2:50:06] Thank you.
